Most labs treat medium format like a simple step up from 35mm, but larger negatives demand different handling, different calibration, and a level of care that prioritizes detail over speed. At EverPresent, we digitize 120 film, medium format negatives, and other oversized photo negatives using workflows designed specifically for their size, depth, and variability. Whatever format negative you have, we scan when others won’t and do it in a way that preserves the full quality of the original image.
Our Mission
“By making the hard work of digitizing and sharing easy for our clients, we will preserve our world’s history before old formats fade and family stories are lost to time. Our ultimate goal is to make your best memories EverPresent in your life.”
– Eric, Jennifer & Winston

our aI philosophy
Across all analog formats we use artificial intelligence as a support tool, not a substitute for human expertise. AI assists with stabilization, cleanup, and consistency, allowing our specialists to focus on judgment, quality control, and preservation decisions.
We don’t apply the same approach to every format, and we don’t automate simply for speed. Slides demand different care than VHS tapes; audio requires different judgment than film. Each project is reviewed by people who understand the material, the era it came from, and the responsibility that comes with preserving it.
Every order reflects the same philosophy: thoughtful technology, human oversight, and respect for the original.

Frequently Asked Questions about Scanning medium format negatives
“Your 4″” x 5″” large format negatives are the most common size, made popular by the camera models of the 1930s-1950s. The idea here is that the larger the area, the more detail you can capture and the better the photograph.
If you have 120 or 220 rolls of film, that’s the film type used in medium format cameras and they have up to 32 exposures on a roll. Large format cameras usually needed one sheet per picture which means you need to reload every time you take a shot.
Ansel Adams is one of the more famous photographers who used large format negatives almost exclusively. The labor involved made for a more contemplative, carefully-executed shot. If you have medium or large format negatives, somebody put time and money into their creation and our expert team will convert your medium and large format to DVD or USB and upload them to our online platform for easy sharing!“
