How Does the Negatives Scanning Process Work?

Digitizing old negativesis an excellent choice for the highest quality results whether you only have film negatives of your priceless photos, or the processed photo prints are damaged, lost, or discolored. That’s because when you scan negatives, you are capturing the earliest version of the photo, which means the digital copy will be sharper and more detailed.

Convert your film negatives into digital files in 3 easy steps:

Create your order. Then, gather your negatives and any additional information you want to provide.
Prepare your media to be shipped by packing it safely. You can add a pre-paid shipping label to your order or use your own shipping option to mail your media.
After we assess your items, you will review an invoice. Once you approve it, we'll begin digitizing your memories. Within 4 weeks, you'll receive high-quality digital versions of your negatives along with your originals.

What Formats of Negatives Are Accepted?

35mm, APS film, 110 film, 110/220 film, 126 Instamatic film, large negatives.

Converting negatives to digital images is an important process for many reasons including:

  • Preserve Your Family Photos

    Your analog negatives can lose color and quality over time, but a negative photo scanning service can preserve the memories for future generations.

  • Highest Quality Results

    If you have both the original negatives and coinciding photographs, scanning negatives to digital will lead to superior results with a sharper, more detailed digital image.

  • View Negatives

    If you don’t have the corresponding family photos, there isn’t an easy way to view your negative film without digitizing them because negatives invert the color and image.

  • Peace of Mind

    Protect your film negatives from fire, flood, and other natural disasters for complete peace of mind.

  • Organize Memories

    When you digitize negatives, you make it easy to rename and archive them with additional information.

  • Choose Format

    After you convert negatives, you can choose between DVD, digital download, or USB thumb drive versions of your rolls of film.

  • Save Space

    While negative film strips don’t take up much space, digital files can be organized directly on your computer, hard drive, or in the cloud using iCloud, Google Photos, or Dropbox.

  • Ensure Future Generations Can View Family Photos

    By digitizing film negatives, you ensure that future generations will be able to view your scanned images without hassle.

  • Share Your Memories

    By transferring your negatives into digital copies, you can easily share them with loved ones using social media and email, eliminating the need to fight over original versions.

  • Use Advanced Features

    When you transfer your negative film to platforms like Google Photos, you can take advantage of advanced search, archive, and reminder features.

  • Enhance Your Negative Photos

    Use your own photo editing software, like Photoshop, to strive for high-resolution DPI, colorize black and white negatives, and combine old photos with new ones.

Prices for digitizing your negatives start at $29.98 for the first 50 items and just $0.50 for each additional one.

However, since most people don't know how many negatives they have, we'll double check your number of negatives and only charge you the correct quantity.
