It seems the scan works fine as long as you can reduce the file size with your program. I did not get fancy with it but the choices of file type are clearly there after making the scan with my HP software. To make it fast and easy, I simply chose to send the picture by e-mail and the program reduced it to 11kb, probably a bit too much but you get the idea. I was surprised it could go that small, depending upon what software you are using it should give you choices of where to save your photos and how many kb you want them to be. I am spoiled by the digital camera, seldom scan pictures so I am a bit rusty with them. I know a printed document eats memory like crazy though. The site calls for a max dimension of 400x400, so you may want to check that when you resize as well, good luck.
