What dpi resolution is best for slides?

Dpi Whiteboard Marker

Extensive scanning & research have proven that 3200 is the optimum for the commercial scanners we use. 3200 dpi also ensures that customers receive high-quality resolution files that are manageable in terms of file size. We can scan at a higher resolution of 4800 if required at a small additional cost. Simply contact us to discuss.

For information, we brush each slide with anti-static brushes and blow with compressed air to remove as much dust as possible. Slides are magnets to dust, and no matter how much cleaning is done, there will always be a small amount remaining when scanned. We do as much as possible to keep this to a minimum.

Why Convert Slides to Digital?

35mm Slides were once a popular way to capture family snapshots, perhaps family birthdays, weddings, holidays and more. The problem today is viewing those precious memories.  You need a working slide projector, which most people either don't have or don't want the hassle of digging out and setting up with a screen to view.

We convert 35mm slides to digital using the best equipment and software to give customers the highest quality. By digitising your slides, you can easily view and enjoy your memories. Better still, you can view your digitised images from any device whenever you want to. No more dust on your slides, no more fading of colour; your images are now saved and safe for the future and generations to come.
