There’s no prep required to get the ball rolling

A lot of folks worry they have to organize, count, bag and tag their negatives before reaching out. You don’t! We can take care of all of that. And we’d love to hear from you even if all you’re looking for at the moment is some advice.

We make subfolders for any 35mm negatives organized by year. We’re also one of the only services that offers captioning for negatives that have labeling on their envelopes. No matter how you have them organized, we’ll ensure it crosses over digitally as well.

Negative collections often include a mix of formats beyond standard 35mm, such as medium format and specialty film sizes. Many consumer services only accept common formats to avoid adjusting equipment, prioritizing speed over flexibility. At EverPresent, we digitize all negative formats, including non-standard mounts, ensuring your entire collection can be preserved instead of just the easy-to-process items.

Negatives contain the highest level of detail from your original film, but properly digitizing them requires specialized equipment and precise color conversion. Many consumer services rely on basic scanning methods that can produce flat images with inaccurate color or limited detail. At EverPresent, we scan negatives using high-resolution, professional-grade equipment, capturing the full tonal range and fine detail directly from the source.

We also apply precise color conversion and optional enhancements to ensure accurate color, balanced exposure, and improved clarity. Because collections often include a mix of formats, we digitize a wide range of negative sizes, allowing your entire archive to be preserved—not just standard film.

We know that finding the right service for your needs can be tricky. That’s why our team will walk you through the technical options in advance before you commit to anything. It’s free to get your materials to us for an estimate and there’s no upfront payment.

We don’t promote flashy discounts or expiring coupons. We offer volume discounts because it’s fair, and we apply them automatically.

We offer the widest range of options and capabilities to ensure your project gets what it needs, but out of respect for your budget, never more than it needs. In our business, one size rarely fits all (or fits in a box).

A $50 service fee applies to all orders. This service fee provides for safe handling procedures including: intake, item coding, physical & digital storage, quality checks by senior technicians and packaging.

frequently asked questions

$0.98 per scan for your first 300. We automatically apply a bulk discount for larger orders and can convert negatives to digital for only $0.68 each after that. 

Some specialty labs do, but most people convert negatives to digital files instead. This way, you can print them at any size through any photo printing service. You also get a permanent backup, which you never have to worry about degrading.

A professional service like EverPresent. We scan at 2000 DPI using dedicated film scanners. A consumer flatbed scanner paired with a transparency adapter is another option if you want to take a DIY approach, but the file will end up noticeably softer. It’s a painfully slow process, too. Just as EverPresent is the #1 photo scanning service, we’re the premier negative digitizing service.

Just send us your negatives no matter the state they’re in. We’ll scan them at 2,000 DPI, optimize each image, and deliver the file through the EverPresent app. 

We can’t give you a one-size-fits-all timeline because it all depends on the size of your order and our current workload. We encourage you to reach out to our team for a personalized, up-to-date quote. 

Yes. We include dust removal and image optimization with our standard service. The Enhance Upgrade includes hybrid human and AI retouching (4,000 DPI). This is worth it if your negatives need more work on clarity, color balance, or fading. Reach out if you suspect your negatives may need heavier restoration and we can set expectations for you. 

Yes. We send back the originals after we successfully convert negatives to digital.
