Slide scanning
Convert 35mm slides and transparencies to digital.
We scan mounted slides and transparencies into high-resolution digital files so they can be viewed, backed up and shared without a projector.
You do not need an exact count before you enquire.
What we can scan
Slides can stay in their boxes and groups.
You do not need to remove every slide from its box or work out the exact format first. Show us what you have and we will identify the sensible scanning route.
- 35mm mounted slides and other common transparency formats.
- High-resolution scanning appropriate to the film format.
- Boxes, batches and existing order can be retained where useful.
- Basic colour and tonal correction included; restoration quoted separately.

Common questions
Before you send your material.
Do I need to empty slide boxes or carousels?
No. Show us how the slides are currently stored first.
What resolution do you use for slides?
Resolution is matched to the film format. For 35mm slides we use a high-resolution workflow suitable for preserving the detail in the original.
Can you keep slides in their current order?
Yes. If the existing order matters, we can reflect it in the digital files and folders.
Can faded slides be improved?
Basic correction is included. More extensive restoration or repair can be discussed for selected images.
Not sure what you have?
Send us a photograph.
A quick phone picture of the box, album, slides or negatives is often enough for us to advise.
