Scanning a lifetime of slides shouldn’t take a lifetime. Nor should you have to sacrifice quality in the name of efficiency. The SlideSnap takes a new approach to slide digitization, enabling even the smallest operation to power through 1,000’s of slides per day.

By utilizing a modern digital camera and quick index Kodak slide projector, we’ve cut scanning time down by a factor of 60. Typical scanners take an average of 2 minutes for a basic scan. A SlideSnap will generate a full resolution capture instantly, with a cycle time as low as 2 seconds.
The sensor found in a digital camera is an engineering marvel. Tasked at capturing everything from landscapes to high fashion, it turns out it’s also the smartest way to capture film. Thanks to economies of scale, the imaging prowess available in the most entry level cameras surpasses that of even some high end traditional scanners.
Lighting is everything in photography. We’ve designed our light source to provide even, consistent illumination across the entire area of the film. The high CRI Phillips LEDs are rated for 5000k and over 10,000 hours of continuous use.
Quit babysitting. The SlideSnap will detect the end of a tray, an empty slot or a slide jam and stop the scan cycle for you. It keeps your slides safe with a gentle gravity fed gate engineered by Kodak.
Kodak Carousel and Ektagraphic projectors are widely understood to be the most reliable in their class. Often described as “tanks”, they are built to work and allow SlideSnaps to support any standard 80 or 140 capacity slide tray. This can translate to a huge time savings if your slides are already loaded in this ubiquitous carrier.
Not only do we include software to help batch process your scans for border and dust removal, we provide thorough guides to help flesh out your entire application toolchain.
