What format does it scan the photos to...is it .JPG?

Yes. A word of caution though, scan direct to your computer so you can see the photo. I found that about every 15 scans I had to clean the unit. If you scanned to a memory stick you would not see the lines running through the photo until way later.

It scanned to jpg files. The file names are in the form EK_0001.jpg, EK_0002.jpg, etc. So you have to rename all the files. Also, if you do scanning at different times, be sure you don't overwrite earlier files, since it starts naming the files with EK_0001 again. It can be confusing. They should have developed a better way to name the files.

I have scanned all different sizes of photos and it scans just the size of the photo.

This unit scans to your own USB/storage device that you can put into your Apple or your PC. The files appear as jpgs. I use it on both Apple and PC.

I don't know the answer to that but it works as an independant scanner and can be downloaded into any jpeg photo file on most other computers or on to a flash drive. Hope this helps you. I love this item.

It scans photographs pretty well. I don't think it's quite as good as my Epson v500, but it's "good enough" unless you're doing archival work and want the absolute best result you can get. The software does little to no post-processing, and your only choice of output for photographs is JPG (which is always a "lossy" format, as opposed to TIF or other "lossless" format). I don't know if it's the particular JPG compression or the scanner itself, but there is a [very] slight "tiling" effect to the scanned photographs. I suppose overall, I would give it a 7.5/10 for photos. Additionally, since it is a sheetfed scanner, if there is any dust on the scanner "lens", you will end up with a line, as opposed to the V500, so you need to keep that clean. On the plus side, you can scan multiple photos (of approximately the same size) automatically from the document feeder tray, and you can scan the back of the photos at the same time to keep context (many people write notes on the back of photos, which takes twice as much time to scan if you are using a photo scanner). I will upload an example of this scanner vs my V500 in the "customer images" and you can judge for yourself. (edit: never mind...Amazon won't allow me to add customer images for this product) The image is at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pg9fxsfvvdmutlj/S1300i_vs_V500_comparison.png

I'm not familiar with that format, but if your pictures are in .jpg format, there is no problem

Yes, it can scan pictures, but it offers little control on the output, and saves the file in jpg. In other words, it is OK for the occasional picture but will not be sufficient for someone who wants to be able to control the quality of the scan or wants photography-level images.

Using the software that comes with the scanner, you can go into the File Save Settings and under Image Format select if you want .jpg, .pdf, .tif, or .bmp file. In other words, Yes, you can save your files as such:)

I just recently traded up to a HP Officejet, but my Epson served me well for years and yes, it will on default save your scanned photo as a JPG. You can also save it as a TIFF if you want to.

I bought this as a gift and loaded photos on it. I am not sue about the powerpoints and videos. It would display the jpgs I had but not any pictures I had scanned and converted to a jpg.

I am not sure, I am working on this myself for Christmas presents for the family and saving them as JPEG 300dpi and I am not sure how they would print out, I am just hoping this works, sorry I could not be more help. I do know that so far I have scanned around 1900 photos of all types and at least I can save them all to a 16GB flashdrive. I have more to go so at least everyone can view them as a slideshow and they will at least have that and can hopefully print them out if they want to.

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

The included software will let you save the scan as a jpeg or a tiff. I think it also has other formats, but these are the only two I use. Tiff files allow you to edit without creating artifact.

I've scanned a few photos and it did ok but I wouldn't buy it just for photos, I would buy a scanner that is made for photos. I purchased and use this for documents. I think you will get better quality with an actual photo scanner.

Everything I scan automatically saves to jpeg format. No need for Photoshop!

I scanned a 4x6 photo at 600 dpi and saved it as a jpeg. The file size is 3 mg. Hope that helps

YES & YES and it does a reasonably good job, too. I mainly use the Scan to PDF & JPEG options and have been really pleased with the results. Scanning is slow, but for a portable unit is does many things well and there have to be a few sacrifices for the portability sake. Keep in mind that it runs just fine on battery mode too... just can not go wrong with this unit !!!
