    What You Get 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Digitizing your slides is only based on the number of negatives you send in. We count negatives in groups of 25, so every 25 negatives you send in count as 1 item. To learn more, visit the Pricing Page or scroll down.

How long does it take?

It can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to completely finish your order depending upon what size it is and if its during the busy season. However, we do offer expedited processing options that allow you to have your order completed in as little as 3 days!

Can I send other types of items in along with my negatives?

Yes! You can mix and match as much as you'd like. We can digitize most types of consumer media, including video tapes, film, photos, and slides. For a full list of what we can digitize, visit What We Digitize.

Are there any size limitations for my negatives?

We can digitize most negatives of all different sizes. However, there are some formats we cannot digitize. We CANNOT digitize disc film, 3D film, and any fully undeveloped film. We CAN digitize all other sizes of negatives. Standard negative sizes such as 35mm/135 are billed at the normal rate of every 25 negatives counts as 1 item.

Do you provide enhancement and restoration?

Yes! Our expertly trained technicians and innovative technology can digitally revitalize and restore your negatives to a stunning quality. Photo restoration and revitalization is an option you can add after you send your negatives in and is recommended if your negatives are old or in poor condition.

Which output choice should I choose?

This is really up to you and how you would like to have your digitized files. We can put your digitized files on the cloud for digital access and download, put them on a thumb drive, or burn them to data CDs. For negatives digitization, we always recommend Digital Access as this makes it easy to load all your negatives on all of your devices including your computer and smartphone.

I'm nervous about sending my memories. What safeguards do you take to keep my memories safe?

Excellent question! We take a number of measures to make sure your memories are safe and secure from the moment they leave your possession until you receive them back from us. This includes using a special priority shipping service, an advanced internal tracking system, and more. So far, we have digitized over 1 million memories and have never lost or damaged a single one. Not one! To learn more about the safeguards we take, read this article.

What quality are the digitized negatives?

We digitize all negatives using specialty equipment at a high quality output. The quality is measured using DPI, and for most negatives we digitize them to 2400 DPI. 2400 DPI is an extremely high quality and will allow you to view every detail of your negatives, as well as store and share these digitized negatives easily. Specialty digitization of negatives at a certain DPI are available upon request.

How many negatives count as an item?

Every 25 negatives counts as 1 item for standard size 35mm/135 negatives. So a 2 Item Digitize Kit is good for up to 50 negatives, a 10 Item Digitize Kit is good for up to 250 negatives, and so on. You do not need to have an exact number of negatives when sending them in. We will count all your negatives when they arrive and adjust your bill accordingly. A negative strip typically contains 4-6 negative images on it, so a strip is technically 4 to 6 negatives.

How are specialty negatives or non-standard negatives counted?

We consider standard size negatives to be size 35mm/135, which are by far the most common size. Thes negatives are counted as every 25 negatives counts as 1 item. Any negatives outside this format are counted at a rate of every 10 negatives = 1 item, up to 4x6". For a full explanation on counting negatives, see the Negatives Sizing and Formats page.

What is the difference between undeveloped and developed negatives?

Developed negatives have an image on the negative itself that you can see by holding the negative up to light. An undeveloped negative will be thicker than a developed negative, and be completely black and you will be unable to see any images when held up to light. We cannot digitize undeveloped negatives.

Can you make prints of my negatives?

Yes, we can make prints from your negatives upon request.

  • Preserve your Memories Forever

    Negatives can and will degrade in quality over time. Negatives are especially prone to fading due to the passing of time and how they were stored. Digitizing preserves your negatives forever before it is too late, and our photo restoration and revitalization can fix most quality issues with your negatives.

Worth every penny!

My grandfather recorded the autobiography of his life on a cassette tape and my family and I wanted to have these memories as a digital file so we could easily listen to his stories. The Digitize Center was able to digitize the cassette to a digital file and USB drive. I am very pleased with how quickly they were able to get this done. Now we can cherish these memories forever. I highly recommend this company!!
