Negative and slide scanners
Negative and slide scanners help you turn old negatives and slides from the family archive into digital photos and keep them on your computer or phone. You’ll find standalone scanners with a screen, scanners that connect to a computer, and adapters and backlit kits for digitising with a camera or phone.
Negative and slide scanners
The easiest option is a negative scanner with its own screen that needs no computer or drivers. You preview each image on the 2.36 or 5 inch screen before saving it to the internal memory or an SD card. Depending on the model, they handle 135 film, 126 and 110 formats, Super 8 frames, black-and-white negatives and mounted slides at 5 to 24 MP (interpolated on some models).
If you prefer working on a big screen, choose a scanner with a USB connection to your computer. Its 8 MP sensor with 2400 dpi is powered over USB, so it needs no mains adapter or batteries.
For digitising with your own camera and a macro lens, there are negative digitising adapters and kits. They attach to the lens with a 52 mm thread or combine a sliding rail with a backlit panel, so they also handle 120 roll film. The CRI 95+ LED backlight reproduces colours faithfully, according to the manufacturer. For your phone, there’s a foldable AA-battery scanner and a stand with a phone holder and wireless shutter release.
How we rank results
We determine the order of offers in search results and in category listings automatically, according to the rules below. No seller is given priority in the ranking, and it is not possible to pay us for a better position.
Search (default sorting “Relevance”): we show offers that match the search term, including those with a small deviation or only a partial match. Their order depends most on how popular the offer is with customers. If you have accepted cookies, the next biggest factor is which categories and offer attributes you have viewed during your current visit. It also matters how popular the offer is for that search term, how closely it matches the term and how popular its category is for that term.
Categories (default sorting “Best Sellers”): the offers that sell the most appear at the top.
Sorting by price: if you choose Price: Low to High or Price: High to Low, we sort by price including VAT only.
