Can You Scan My Negatives, Slides, or Film?

Yes. We can scan most common film formats, including negatives, slides, odd-size film, and some motion picture film. We can scan film up to 8x10 on our Epson professional flatbed scanner, and we also offer DSLR/camera scanning for formats where camera scanning gives better results.

Because film comes in many sizes, conditions, and formats, pricing and scanning method may vary depending on what you have.

35mm negatives

We can scan cut or uncut 35mm negatives.

35mm strips of 1–2 frames:
$1 per frame

35mm strips of 3–6 frames:
$1 per strip

Uncut 35mm roll, 12 or more frames:
$5 per roll

Resolution upgrades may be available depending on the film and scanning method.

Basic resolution is usually perfect for social media, sharing, and 4x6 prints. Higher-resolution scanning is recommended if you want larger prints, more editing room, or the best possible file from the negative.

120 / 220 / 620 negatives

Medium-format film is generally scanned using DSLR/camera scanning or our Epson professional flatbed scanner, depending on the film condition and the final use.

120 / 220 / 620 scanning:
Starting at $1 per frame or $10 per roll

Medium-format film may require extra handling if it is curled, damaged, very dense, very thin, heavily faded, or an unusual frame size.

APS film

We can scan APS film.

APS scanning:
$10 per roll

APS film can be more time-consuming than standard 35mm because of the cartridge format and film handling involved.

110 film

We can scan 110 negatives using either flatbed scanning or camera scanning, depending on the quality needed and the condition of the film.

110 flatbed scanning:
$0.25 per frame

110 DSLR/camera scanning:
Starting at $1 per frame

Because 110 is a very small negative format, better scanning can make a noticeable difference, especially if the film is old, underexposed, faded, or needs PhotoFlux restoration.

127 film

We can scan 127 film.

127 scanning:
Starting at $1 per frame

Scanning method may depend on the frame size, film condition, and whether the film is cut or uncut.

Mounted slides

We can scan mounted slides, including 35mm slides and many larger slide formats.

Mounted slide scanning:
Starting at $1 per slide

Slides are usually scanned with our DSLR/camera scanning setup or Epson GT-X980 professional flatbed, depending on format and condition. Basic color correction is included with slide scanning.

116 / 616 and other larger roll-film formats

We can scan many larger roll-film formats, including 116 and 616.

116 / 616 scanning:
Starting at $2 per frame

Large or unusual formats may require flatbed scanning, custom positioning, or extra handling.

Disc film

We can scan Disc film.

Disc film scanning:
$10 per disc

Disc film is an extremely small format, so results depend heavily on the original exposure, film condition, and age. PhotoFlux may help improve some Disc film images, but the format itself is very limited.

8mm and Super 8 movie film

We can transfer 8mm and Super 8 movie film.

8mm / Super 8 transfer:
Starting at $5 per 50 ft / 3-inch reel at 1080p

We can transfer many color reversal, black-and-white positive, and black-and-white negative films. Results depend on film condition, exposure, fading, and physical damage.

Our 8mm/Super 8 transfer system is the Wolverine Pro Series scanner.

Other media transfer services

We can also transfer many older media formats to digital files, DVD, Blu-ray, or flash drive.

This may include:

VHS
VHS-C
8mm / Hi8 / Digital8 video tape
MiniDV
Vinyl records
Audio CDs
Cassette tapes
Reel-to-reel audio tape
MiniDisc
8-track tapes
3.5-inch floppy disks, 720K or 1.44MB
CD, DVD, DVD-RAM, and Blu-ray discs

Please contact us before sending media transfer orders so we can confirm compatibility, pricing, and the best output format.

Formats we cannot currently transfer

We currently cannot transfer:

Betamax tape
U-matic tape
16mm motion picture film

For 16mm film, we recommend contacting a lab or transfer service that specializes in motion picture film scanning.

Equipment we use

Our scanning equipment includes:

Canon 5DS-R DSLR camera scanning system for high-quality camera scanning
Canon 2000D backup camera scanning system, often used for 110 and small-format work
Epson GT-X980 professional flatbed scanner for flatbed film scanning, ultra-high-resolution scans, slides, and larger formats up to 8x10
Kodak Pakon scanner for many 35mm color negatives
Noritsu LS-600 scanner for APS and select film workflows
Wolverine Pro Series scanner for 8mm and Super 8 film transfer

The best scanner depends on the film type, format, condition, and the result you need.
