Get your slides scanned to digital files. Our service includes high resolution scanning, cropping, and dust removal to improve the quality of your new images. Protect your slides by digitizing to preserve, share, and enjoy them again!
They did a wonderful job scanning almost 2,000 slides. Plus, they finished the job earlier than expected.
All our pricing is upfront. We'll give you an estimate when we get your order. If something comes up, we will contact you.
Your slides are scanned here in our office. From a handful of slides to boxes of thousands, your 35mm slides are scanned to digital safely.
Your slides will be digitized at approximately 14 megapixels and saved as JPG files. Each image will be rotated to its proper orientation and flipped to the correct side (when possible).
Even the smallest particle of dust can look large when scanned at a high resolution. We gently blow air on slides to help clean off debris and help your images to look their best.
Each image will be have filters applied to remove fine dust particles, as well as brighten the image and bring out the faded colors.
We will name your slide images based on groups of at least 50. Place the slides a plastic bag or carousel, and write a name on the outside (1970 Hawaii).
This sample slide shows it before and after color enhancement and dust-removal filters were applied.
Use the slider to compare the two versions. Results vary depending on the condition of the original slide, but these enhancements often improve color, contrast, and overall image quality.
I wanted to thank you for the work on restoring and preparing the slides and the production of the videos. They have brought great joy to my entire family and the flood of memories is beyond words. On behalf of my family please accept our deepest gratitude and most sincere compliments on a job well done.
We care about your memories and we are here to help you preserve them.

Your slides can be sent in zippered plastic bags (at least 50 per bag), carousels, or straight trays. You can write a title on the outside of the bag/carousel box/tray lid and we will use that as the group file name (like, 1968-1969). If your slides are in boxes, albums, magazines, or sleeves, please remove them before submitting to avoid handling fees. After scanning, slides will be placed back in the bags/carousels/trays, though we cannot promise the same order. Do not put any stickers on individual slides.
Each group of slides (50+ per group) will have an overall name and sequence number at the end. For example, "Wedding_001". When a date is available, we will start each group with the year as well for easy reference like "1975_Wedding_001". We can name your images based on the title of that bag/carousel/tray. Some slide sizes must be scanned differently so grouping may vary.
Yes. The easiest method is to put them in a carousel starting at the #1 position listed on it. The next option is to number each of your slides in a consistent corner of the frame. Start at #1 and go through to the last slide. Use only whole numbers (no A's or B's, no 1.5 or 1.75 to squeeze in extra slides). The file name numbers will match the number on the slide so those odd variations won't work. If you have your slides in separate groups, you can start a new #1 for each group (50+ per group). There is an additional charge for scanning slides in order.
Yes. Though our normal scan of 2400 ppi is high enough resolution for most purposes, we can scan up to 4800 ppi. We also offer the option of TIF files instead of the standard JPG files. Let us know your needs and we will guide you on the best choice for your project.
Yes, we give your slides back to you. We also offer the option to hold your media for 30 days. Many people who ship orders to us like this option to reduce return shipping costs. This allows them to review their conversions and then after 30 days, we will dispose/recycle the media.
Yes. After scanning, we can name each image with whatever information is on the slide frame. For example, a slide that has "Oliver Reunion 1962" would have the file name "1962_OliverReunion". This method allows all your slides to be sorted by date (when a date is available). There is an additional charge for this service. For slides with information saved in other ways, please contact us to discuss your options for saving that information into the image file name.
Yes. For orders over 2,500 35mm slides, we offer a quantity discount. The rate will be custom quoted based on the number of slides you have, the storage method, and the desired completion date. Contact us to tell us more about your 35mm slides.
Yes. When it comes to slides, people sometimes have thousands. Even when family members get together to digitize their slides, the budget can be a factor. You are welcome to set a slide amount or a dollar amount limit, when we reach that level, we will contact you and let you decide where to go from there. You can also prioritize your slides to do the most important ones first and others in future projects.
You sure can! Place your order and get packing tips for your slides. When we receive it, we will give you an estimate and expected completion date. Need it done fast? Let us know your deadline and we'll do whatever we can to meet it.
We get orders from all across the United States. No matter what you have: video tapes, film, audio reels, slides, photos, or more, we can transfer all your media to digital.
