Film Scanning
The best way to easily view and share your latest film photos. We scan most film types and formats* and our professional technicians correct for color and density, frame by frame. We offer a variety of file sizes and can also provide custom scans to your exact specifications.
- Scans are delivered via an emailed download link (PicTime or WeTransfer)
- Turnaround varies depending on the amount of film you drop off but you can expect a minimum of 2-3 business days. Expediting your scan order is sometimes possible, please inquire at the time of drop off.
- File specs for scans can be found below. JPEG files are compressed and may appear smaller on your desktop. Please view scans in Photoshop or any other photo editing software to view actual pixel dimensions.
- We can discard your negatives after scanning or you have the option to hang onto them. We store negatives for 30 days and a $1 fee will be added to the order for packaging and storage.
- We scan film rolls at the time of drop off as well as film that has already been processed including mounted color positive slides.
*We currently do not scan 110 negatives, although we can process the film.
