At PhotoLounge in Center City Philadelphia, we specialize in digitizing negatives so you can preserve family memories, share them easily, and stream them on any device. Learn more about all of our digitizing services in Philadelphia.
Why should I digitize my negatives?
If you’re like most families, your favorite negatives have been tucked away for years. So viewing them again — fully enhanced with the latest digital tools, available on any device, and safely preserved to share — truly feels like magic.
What kinds of negatives do you digitize?
We digitize 35mm, medium format, APS, and all roll and sheet film, including plates on glass.
Can I get a quote?
Absolutely, if you need help figuring out how much film you have or what types, start by filling out our Sort & Quote and our team will be in touch quickly to help you out.
At what resolution are the negatives scanned?
We digitize your negatives at a commercial high resolution of 300 DPI in versatile JPEG file format. This allows you to easily crop, edit, and enlarge your digital files while maintaining the highest quality of the image. If your project requires higher resolution or file formats, we can accommodate those requirements.
How will I receive the digital files?
You'll get your digitized files easily online through Dropbox, plus a free subscription to the Projector Stream App for streaming and sharing on any device. We’ll help you at every step.
How easy is it to share the digital copies with my family and friends?
Super easy! With your free Projector Stream App subscription, you can look at all your digitized pictures just like Netflix. You can easily give your family and friends access to watch your old home movies from anywhere, on any device.
Will I receive my originals back?
Yes, definitely, unless you specifically request we safely discard them.
How long will it take to receive the digitized negatives?
We offer fast turnaround times — typically 5–10 business days. Drop off your negatives at our Center City Philadelphia photo lab, or request a courier pickup anywhere in Philadelphia or the surrounding suburbs to get your digitized files back quickly.
