Convert Slides to Digital

35mm slides won’t last forever.

Digitising slides is done in two simple steps, and future-proofs all the memories you’ve captured over years gone by. Slides are also known as ‘transparencies’ or ‘slide film’, and are the 35mm slides used in a projector. We can also convert 110mm, 126mm and 135mm formats, but please get in touch for a quote for these slide formats.
By the way, we can also Convert Negatives, and Digitise Photos!

background

Convert slides to DVD and digital formats.

Family slides are a treasure trove of happy (and sometimes embarrassing!) memories.

Keeping those great times alive gets harder and harder, as slides fade and tear over time.

Scanning your old slides is a surefire way to preserve their quality and all the good memories in those albums. We scan in 600 DPI resolution, which produces great quality scans for archiving, reprinting, and viewing digitally.

If you’ve got images stored on 35mm slides, we can scan them in at 4000 DPI resolution. This is because slides store a huge amount of visual information, which we’re able to blow up into much larger images.

Our team of expert technicians use the highest-quality equipment to scan and convert your old slides quickly, efficiently, and reliably.

Nothing beats seeing old memories remade for today
