Film Scanning
Scan whole rolls or specific frames in a variety of file sizes and film formats from 35 mm and 120 to half frames, 110, 127, panoramic and sprocket scanning.
We offer standard, medium and high quality scans:
- Standard quality scans are the most popular option with a pixel size of approximately 1200x1800px (pixel size varies based on aspect ratio), and the file quality is suited for small prints (4×6 & smaller).
- Medium quality scans (2400×3000 px) offer a larger file size and greater detail, ideal for 5×7,8×10, 8×12, prints.
- High quality scans (3600×5400 px)offer the highest resolution image available and offer the greatest flexibility for printing at 10×15 and larger.
*Pixels and file sizes are approximate.
Want a specific file format? We can provide the files in either JPEG or TIFF.
- JPEG – for easy downloading from your phone and seamless posting on social media, choose standard quality JPEG.
- TIFF – best for editing and printing. Transferring TIFF and high quality scans files takes too much time and interrupts our work flow due to the high volume of files we send, so if you want your files as TIFFs please bring in a thumb drive or hard drive.
All scans include basic image correction, however old or damaged films are subject to re-touch fees.
Turnaround times:
- 2 BUSINESS DAYS for Standard Develop & Scan (next day is typical)
- 3 BUSINESS DAYS for Med & High Develop & Scan
- We process C-41 Tuesday-Friday, B&W only processed on Wednesdays and Fridays
- More than 3 rolls MED or HIGH resolution is almost always 1 or more weeks turnaround time depending on how busy we are.
