Prepare Your Negatives For Scanning & Sending.

Here are a few tips to help us get the best digital scans from your negative film.  

What we like!
  • Send us your negatives in envelopes, paper sleeves or bundled together.  
  • Keep negatives away from dust in envelopes or paper sleeves to help reduce dust specs.
  • If you want named folders, please provide titles or numbers for the naming of folders. Each folder costs £1.00. 
What we don't like! 
  • Damaged film or film strips, mouldy or excessively dirty film, film strips
  • APS film canisters
  • Only 35mm film strips please. If any single frames included, we will scan but we will charge 70p a frame. 
  • Plastic archival sleeves are hard to extract negatives from. Unfortunately, a surcharge of £2.00 per page will be added due to the additional time it takes to safely remove and re-insert

Why Convert Negatives to Digital?

Negatives are the foundation of photography; they hold the original details and quality behind every printed photo. Scanning negatives often produces a superior image quality compared to scanning printed photographs. However, like all analogue media, negatives are vulnerable to ageing, damage and unexpected disasters.

Our professional negative scanning service preserves your cherished memories by converting your film negatives into high-resolution digital images. This is the most reliable way to safeguard those precious moments for generations to come. With our years of scanning experience, we make the negative scanning process seamless, efficient, and affordable, returning great quality scans.

Let us help you to preserve your film negatives forever!

FAQ's about negative scanning

What Format do you save files to?

We save all our scans as jpeg files. Please contact us if you want any other format, such as tiff.

How long will it take to scan my negatives?

This depends upon the number of negatives sent. Majority of orders are scanned and returned within 7 days. 

Not sure how many negatives you have? do i have to count them all?

No, don't worry, we only need an estimate of numbers (frames, not strips) and that is mainly for you to get an approximate cost. We will give you a total count once eveything has been scanned.
