3 Free Apps to Scan Negative Films

Many people and photographers still keep or own negative film. And one problem that everyone faces is the difficulty in converting all this material into digital files. There are few photo labs in the country that still offer the service of scanning negatives. However, with the advancement of apps, great alternatives have emerged for you to scan all your material easily, quickly and for free. We’ve selected 3 great free apps for you to download and test:

1. Google PhotoScan

Google PhotoScan has a simple and straightforward interface. It digitizes your photos eliminating or reducing the common glare excess in the photo capture process. When scanning, Google PhotoScan asks you to position the photo within a frame before pressing the shutter button. PhotoScan takes five images and stitches them together, correcting perspective and eliminating glare. It takes about 25 seconds to scan each photo. The nice thing about PhotoScan is that, unlike many other apps, it maintains a very good quality/sharpness, despite the tendency of photos to be a little overexposed.

2. Photo Negative Scanner

The quality of your scans is determined by your phone’s camera and the light source used to light your negatives. So find a good way to brighten your photographic film.
