Don’t Just Take our Word For it...
There’s something timeless about opening an old family photo album. The laughter, the hairstyles, the family holidays and special occasions — every picture tells a story frozen in time. Those photographs capture the people and moments that shaped your life, and they deserve to be seen, shared, and preserved forever.
But old prints and photo albums don’t last forever. Colours fade, edges tear, and negatives or slides can easily be damaged. That’s why digitizing old photos is one of the best ways to preserve your family memories and keep them safe for future generations.
At Supaphoto, we specialise in professional photo scanning and slide digitization services that bring your memories back to life. Whether you have photo albums, loose prints, or even 35 mm slides and negatives, our photo scanning service makes it easy to convert your photos to digital files you can store, share, and enjoy anywhere.
Our expert technicians use high-resolution photo scanning equipment to capture every detail with precision. Prints are scanned, producing beautiful high-quality photo scans perfect for archiving, reprinting, or viewing digitally. If you have slides, we scan them at 4000 DPI to preserve the incredible detail hidden in every frame. With careful handling and state-of-the-art technology, we ensure every scan looks sharp, vibrant, and true to the original.
Once digitised, your photos are easy to view on any device — computer, tablet, or phone — and simple to share online with family and friends. No more fading albums or dusty boxes in the loft. Just your favourite moments, preserved in high-resolution digital form, ready to relive whenever you wish.
Over the years, Supaphoto has helped thousands of families digitize old photos and convert 35 mm slides to digital, keeping priceless memories safe from time and damage. We don’t just scan photos — we protect stories, emotions, and family history.
Your past deserves more than to fade away in an old album. Let Supaphoto digitize your old photos and slides with care and precision. With our trusted photo scanning and slide digitization service, your memories aren’t just preserved — they’re beautifully reborn.
Finding old photos or slides in perfect condition is getting harder every year. Prints fade, negatives become scratched, and slides can lose their sharpness over time. The love and care that went into capturing those cherished moments was priceless — and now it’s just as important to protect them for the future. By using a professional photo scanning service to digitize old photos and convert slides to digital format, you can make sure every smile, detail, and memory is preserved before time takes its toll. High-resolution photo scanning keeps those moments vibrant and safe, allowing you to preserve your family memories for generations to come.
If you’d like more information about this service, please read our helpful guide.
What can be more wonderful than getting together with your family and reliving those precious moments again, watching your children’s eyes looking at the television in wonderment. Often, you’ll be explaining to them what it is they’re looking at or marvelling at how wonderful you looked when you were younger.
Home videos hold some of the most amazing memories from birthdays to holidays and weddings.
Don’t let those old home videos fade away. Unfortunately, with the passage of time far fewer of us have got working VHS players that we can trust and moreover operate safely to play these tapes without doing damage to your original VHS tape.
That’s where Supaphoto comes in as we are dedicated to the space and can place those memories onto a DVD in a nice presentation case and even enhance the quality. So you see, converting VHS to DVD is easy with Supaphoto and will safeguard your memories for many years to come.

35mm Slides to Digital
Do you have boxes of old slides growing mildewed and mouldy in the attic or fading fast in some battered old suitcase under the stairs?
People kept 35mm slides to document the great moments in their lives. This was particularly when they went on holiday and were having a truly wonderful time. There are still many thousands of old snapshots of cheerful families standing grinning together in Trafalgar Square and by the Houses of Parliament or even further afield living it up on the Champs Elysees, next to the Niagara Falls and at the top of the Empire State building. Each image proudly proclaims: “We made it! We were here!”
All of this has to be preserved and that’s where Supaphoto comes in – we convert film slides to digital with our dedicated photo slides to digital scanning process. Whether they are colour or black and white, photos will come to life with our slide scanning service.
Slides were used to store memories and collect sentimental moments. We convert slides to digital so that every family has its own unique history preserved in a series of cherished photographs from the past, including the smiling faces of loved ones who are no longer with us.
Why Convert Slides to Photos?
So, if you’re looking for companies that convert slides to digital UK, you need to stop burying your head in the sand. Gone forever are the days of rushing off to the chemist’s to have your slide film processed and then arranging for your family to come around later to see the slide show. We even provide a service converting your slides to digital pictures to share with your family and friends!
Get Ready to Scan Slides to Digital!
But sadly, we can be rather careless with this treasure trove of irreplaceable images and tend to neglect our ageing slides which is why film scanning services like ours exist (we also provide album scanning if you want to keep the special notations in there). If you choose to cooperate with Supaphoto, we can keep your photo slides safe by creating a digital photo that will be put on an SD card with quality images.
Out of sight out of mind, every day they deteriorate a little bit more. For them, the clock may be ticking, but the great news is that if you decide to take action before it’s too late, in professional hands they can be fully restored back to their best.
So, before your slides and negatives along with their associated memories sink without trace and are lost forever, your family history needs to be made compatible with the 35mm slide scanning service technology we have today. So, convert slides to photos now!
Luckily, we can take the problem off your hands. It’s time to give your slides a new lease of life by scanning to digital versions with Supaphoto.
Time to Digitise Slides & Experience the Magic
Every picture tells a story. There was always something strangely magical about slides, images that were thrown by a projector onto a wall that people could all watch and enjoy together. It was a ritual enjoyed by everyone in the family, and it could make you very emotional too.
After the lights went down, the carousel clicked over and the images appear one after another to oohs and aahs and lots of laughter. Those were golden times. See also our Interesting guide on the history of photo slides. Back in the day, no one ever imagined that you’d require a 35mm slide scanning service in the future!
But if you’ve been keeping your precious memories on slides, in recent decades it’s become next to impossible to share them with your friends and family. Photo scanning technology moves on at quite a pace, few people have working slide projectors anymore and the format has become completely obsolete – it means you can’t show your slides on any of today’s devices unless you have them digitised.
Experience the Wonders of Digitising Slides
There’s also the pressing problem of how quickly they are deteriorating day by day unless you store them in laboratory conditions. If moisture seeps in, they get mouldy and the colour can shift dramatically, making them look bizarre. Too much light causes their colours to fade and heat can make them brittle as well as loosen the glue that binds them together.
All these things mean your memories could be lost irrevocably if you’re not careful.
Remember, slides are old and fragile and need to be handled with kid gloves. They also take up a lot of space in your home. But if you transfer them on to digital, they don’t take up very much memory on your computer. It’s time for a change.
How Do You Scan Slides to Digital?
Supaphoto uses high-quality scanners to digitise slides into digital images that you can store on your computer and share with friends and family. Even if they’re in poor condition when you send them off, they’ll come back to you looking nearly as good as new. We handle all major slide formats (35mm, 110, 120, 126 and 127).
Our work is of the highest standard. We use studio grade slide scanners to provide high-resolution results with just the right amount of depth, colour adjustment and contrast.
After we convert slides to digital pictures, you can choose your own storage options. We can email you files in digital format or on a CD, DVD or USB memory stick. You’ll then have digital images to house on your computer, which you can use just like the images from your phone.

More Questions About this Format
A: At Supaphoto, the process of transferring slides to digital begins with a detailed inspection and gentle cleaning of each slide to remove any dust or surface particles. We then use professional-grade scanners to capture each image in high resolution, ensuring every colour, texture, and fine detail is preserved. The resulting digital files are colour corrected and optimised before being saved to USB, DVD, or provided as a digital download. Finally, your original slides are returned safely in the same order they were received.
A: Yes — once we’ve converted your slides to digital, we can create high-quality photo prints or custom photo books. This is a popular option for clients who want to preserve family memories in a tangible way while keeping the digital versions safely stored.
A: Absolutely. We regularly digitise large slide collections for museums, archives, and private clients. Whether you have a few dozen slides or several thousand, we offer bulk pricing and consistent colour management for every project.
A: Your slides are handled exclusively by our in-house technicians using secure equipment. We never outsource our work. Once scanning is complete, your digital files are stored on encrypted servers, and backups are deleted upon request to protect your privacy.
A: Both terms refer to the same process — converting your physical slides or film transparencies into digital image files. However, at Supaphoto, slide digitisation goes beyond basic scanning. We use high-resolution scanners calibrated for colour accuracy, then apply careful image correction to ensure your photos look natural and vibrant. The result is a professionally restored digital image that’s ready to print, edit, or share online.
A: Over time, slides stored in damp conditions can develop mould, mildew, or warping. Before scanning, we gently clean and stabilise affected slides using film-safe tools. If damage is significant, we capture the cleanest possible image and can apply digital restoration techniques to reduce the appearance of marks or discolouration. Our goal is to recover as much detail as possible while protecting your original film.
A: For everyday viewing, JPEG files are ideal — they’re compact, easy to share, and display beautifully on phones, TVs, and computers. However, if you plan to edit or archive your slides, we recommend TIFF files, which preserve all image data without compression. We can provide both formats depending on your needs and deliver them via USB, DVD, or secure online download.
A: Yes! Once we’ve digitised your slides, we can compile them into a digital slideshow or video montage, complete with background music and captions. This is a popular choice for wedding anniversaries, memorials, and family history projects. You’ll receive the video as a playable file or on DVD/USB.
