Convert slides to digital
& save your memories.

A good scanner for slides and negatives is expensive (starting at €500) and is only worth it, when you want to have a large amount of slides scanned. Cheaper scan devices often enable low resolutions, which results in bad quality. Apart from this scanning single slides is very time consuming and a professional cleaning is quite difficult. You have to keep repeating the process over and over, because the scanned image is not straight or shows dust. Handling the scanners also is often not self-explanatory. That’s why it’s not as easy as you might think to scan slides on your own.

This depends on what you are up to. In general a higher resolution can capture more details of the slide and can display it on the screen later on. We provice these quality levels:

• Budget-quality: 2,900 dpi. Suitable for a computer and HD-TV
• Standard-qualität: 3,900 dpi. Suitable for Full-HD-TVs and for printing photo books
• Premium quality: 5,500 dpi. Suitable for wall prints up to 1 m width, more than anough potential for post-processing and the use of small image details
• Highend quality: 6,200 dpi. Suitable for wall prints up to 1.5 m width, more than anough potential for post-processing and the use of small image details

Beware: Only higher slide scan resolutions can ensure that you can zoom into the picture see details.

For better contrast and sharper images we recommend a higher resolution for scanning your slides.
Premium-quality: Enables a higher resolution and even a higher dynamic range. The scanned image will appear more true to the original and images with high contrast are reproduced better.
Premium Plus-quality: Is achieved by a virtual multiple scan. Image contours, high ranges in color and contrast are better captured. If necessary, our professional scan employees correct issues by making manual adjustments. These scans are produced in highest quality and are suitable for zooming in.

Not necessarily. MEDIAFIX scans your slides in universal magazines. If you deliver your slides appropriate, we can directly scan them without having to resort them. If you deliver them loose or in other magazine types, we resort your slides into appropriate magazines for s small fee of €0.03 per slide, which is much less expensive than our competitors. Also we maintain the correct order of your slides.

Of course. Due to long storage periods it is quite normal that slides show dirt und dust. Depending on the type of frame, we provide different types of cleaning services. Before scanning, slides in plastic frames get a compressed air treatment. For glass-framed slides  a wet cleaning is the better option. Basically our cleaning services ensure a better result, which don’t have to be retouched afterwards.

Yes, MEDIAFIX can scan unframed single slides, upon request even in larger amounts. Just start your request, we will get in touch with you and talk about your order.
