How and Why To Digitize Slides
The world has become digitized, but your slides can catch up!
Why should I digitize my slides?
- Create a single photo archive of all your old and new images.
- Invite everyone over for slideshows of all those older images long forgotten.
- Make prints of your favorites or share them online.
- Pass familiy history on to the next generation in a format they understand.
- If you digitize your slides there is no more worry about your film deteriorating.
How can I digitize my slides?
If you have a slide collection that you want digitized there are a couple of options:
- Do it yourself with a flatbed scanner
Cost: $80+ Plan on at least 5 minutes to scan each slide and don't expect superior quality - Do it yourself with a dedicated slide scanner
Cost: $600+ These allow you to scan a batch of up to 80 slides at a time. Decent quality. - Hire someone to do it for you
This is the best option, if you pick a company with reasonable prices. We make that easy.
