Key Features for 35mm Negative Scanning

  • Choose either 2,000 or 4,000 dpi JPEG scans
  • NEW LOWER PRICES:
    • 2,000 dpi = 39¢ per frame = 5MP equivalent file
    • 4,000 dpi = 74¢ per frame = 16MP equivalent file
  • Indvidually hand scanned and color/density corrected for optimal scan
  • Scanned using Digital ICE technology to remove dust, dirt and scratches
  • Color or B&W negatives (B&W cannot use Digital ICE, due to this, B&W scans will show dust and any scratches present on the film)
  • Strips must be at least two negatives long and we must scan the entire strip
  • Packing Instructions: If you have your negatives in sleeves, please leave them in the sleeves. This helps protect your negatives from damage from shipping. If they are not in sleeves, we recommend placing them in a standard envelope to help keep them protected during transit. DO NOT FOLD YOUR NEGATIVES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT CUT YOUR 35MM FILM INTO SINGLE FRAMES. This will render them unscannable.
