Digital Slide Scanning Service
All Scanning Done in USA | Over One Billion Memories Preserved
Preserve Your Legacy with our Digital Slide Scanning Services
Our professional technicians hand scan each slide and carefully adjust the images to achieve the optimum color and density, ensuring each image is at its best. To reduce dust and surface scratches, most slides are scanned using Kodak’s Digital ICE technology.
Slides are scanned into 2,000 or 4,000 dpi JPEG files. Once scanning is complete, you will be provided with a digital download to your email, and your order is promptly shipped back to you.
QUICK TIP 2,000 dpi is best if you want to print slides as photos; you can print up to 8 x 10” photos, and in some cases, 11 x 14” photos. For a true archival digital image – or to print posters from your images – choose 4,000 dpi.

Important Packing Instructions
You may ship us your slides in carousels, slide boxes, or sleeves, unless you purchase the Prepaid Slide Scanning box which requires you to fit your slides within the box shipped to you. If your slides are loose, we recommend grouping them in batches of around 50 slides and securing with rubber bands to prevent damage during shipping. When you pack your box, add extra padding for protection. Note that slides must be removed from metal frames, or an additional 25-cent per slide fee will be charged.

Q. What format are my 35mm slides scanned at?
All scanned slides are in a 24-bit JPEG format.
Q. What resolutions do you scan at?
We offer two different resolutions. Our standard service is 2,000 DPI, which is equivalent to a 6 megapixel file. We also offer 4,000 DPI scans, the equivalent of a 16 megapixel file, at a higher rate.
Q. How large of a print can I make from the scanned images?
We recommend up to an 8"x10" print from 2,000 DPI scans, however you can go larger, just be aware there may be some pixelization when printed larger. 4,000 DPI scans can produce clear 20"x30" poster sized prints.
Q. Can you scan unmounted 35mm slides?
Yes, as long as they are in strips of at least two frames long. We cannot scan individual unmounted slides.
Q. Can you scan 126mm or 110 slides?
We can scan 126mm mounted slides, however due to the fact that our scanners are calibrated for 35mm slides, some of the image will be cropped out. We can also scan mounted 110 slides, however we cannot zoom in on the image and a large black border will be on the scan.




Q. Where are my slides scanned?
In the USA!
All orders for 100% of everything we do, including the individual hand scanning of 35mm slides are carefully processed, digitized, and fulfilled at our Irvine, CA corporate headquarters and scanning lab operation.
Founded in 1990, ScanMyPhotos.com has digitized one-quarter billion images and never ships your precious photos overseas or off site to scan. We believe in supporting American jobs and our professional staff are the experts anyway. At no point do your slides get shipped out of the country or to any other facility for scanning.
