Convert slides to digital
& save your memories.

A good scanner for slides and negatives is expensive (starting at €500) and is only worth it if you want to scan a large amount of slides. Cheaper scanning devices often have low resolutions, resulting in poor quality. In addition, scanning slides one at a time is very time consuming, and cleaning to a high standard is quite difficult. You may have to repeat scans several times because the scanned image is not straight or shows dust. Meanwhile, operating the scanner itself can be complicated. That’s why it’s not as easy as you might think to scan slides on your own.

This depends on what your needs are. In general, a higher resolution captures more details of the slide, which you can see on the screen later on. We provide these quality levels:

• Standard+ quality: 4,250 dpi. Suitable for Full HD TVs and for printing photo books
• Premium quality: 5,000 dpi. Suitable for wall prints up to 1 m width, with more than enough potential for post-processing and using small image details
• High-end quality: 6,200 dpi. Suitable for wall prints up to 1.5 m width, with more than enough potential for post-processing and using small image details

Note: Only higher slide scan resolutions allow you to zoom into the picture see details.

For better contrast and sharper images we recommend a higher resolution when scanning your slides.

Premium quality: Ensures a higher resolution and even a higher dynamic range. The scanned image will appear more true to the original, and high-contrast images are reproduced better.
High-end quality: Achieved by a virtual multiple scan. Image contours, high ranges in colour 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 digitizes photo slides in universal magazines. If you deliver your slides appropriately, we can directly scan them without having to re-sort them. If you deliver them loose or in other magazine types, we re-sort your slides. We also keep your slides in the right order.

Of course. If your slides have been in storage for a while, it’s quite normal that there will be some dirt and dust. Depending on the frame type, we provide various cleaning services. Before scanning, slides in plastic frames get a compressed air treatment. For glass-framed slides, wet cleaning is best. Our cleaning services ensure the best outcome, so the images don’t have to be retouched afterwards.

Yes, MEDIAFIX can scan unframed single slides, and even in larger amounts upon request. Just start a request and we’ll get in touch with you to discuss your order.
