Convert Slides to Digital

A: Converting slides to digital involves scanning each image using high-resolution professional scanners. We carefully adjust settings such as resolution, colour balance, and sharpness to achieve the best possible results. This process requires both time and specialist equipment, which is why DIY methods often fall short in quality. Supaphoto uses top-grade scanners and advanced software to ensure your slides are converted into crisp, beautifully detailed digital images.

We offer tailored services ranging from simple scanning to full restoration and custom editing, all carried out with complete care and confidentiality. Choosing us means entrusting your memories to professionals who treat every project with precision and respect.

These results simply can’t be replicated with home scanners. Our slide digitisation service gives old, worn slides a new lease of life — safely, affordably, and at professional quality.

A: We offer multiple digital output formats, including JPEG, TIFF, and PNG. JPEG is ideal for sharing online, TIFF is preferred for archival use, and PNG balances quality and file size. Supaphoto provides flexibility in choosing the right format for your needs — something not easily achieved with home scanning tools.
