About 126 Slides
Introduced by Kodak in 1963, 126 slides quickly gained popularity due to their convenience and ease of use. These slides feature a unique square transparency film size of 28mm x 28mm, making them distinct from other slide formats. Despite their square format, they are housed in the standard 2” x 2” slide mounts, making them compatible with most slide projectors.
Why Digitize Your 126 Slides?
Digitizing your 126 slides offers several benefits:
- Preservation: Preserve your memories for the future by converting your slides to digital format.
- Convenience: Easily share and view your digitized slides on various devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones.
- Enhanced Quality: Digital files are less susceptible to damage and degradation compared to physical slides, ensuring that your memories remain intact for years to come.

We can help you create an amazing slide show, from any media source, and for any occasion.
Regardless of what kinds of photos, slides, negatives, movies, or videos you have, we can help you create slideshows for them.
Our 126 Slide to Digital Conversion Service Process
At Recapture Your Memories, we understand the importance of preserving your precious memories. Our digitization process is designed to ensure the highest quality results:
- High-Resolution Scanning: We use state-of-the-art scanners to capture every detail of your 126 slides with exceptional clarity and resolution.
- Color Correction: Our skilled technicians carefully adjust color balance and contrast to restore your slides to their original vibrancy.
- Digital Delivery: Once digitized, your images are delivered to you in the digital format of your choice, ready to be enjoyed and shared with family and friends.
Prices For Transferring Slides & Negatives to Digital
From just $0.71 per slide/negative, you can restore the images that haven’t been seen in years.
Each price includes automated color/contrast corrections and manual rotation.
We specialize in particularly restoring old, faded slides as well as photos.
| DPI | Price (CAD) |
| 3200 | $0.71 |
| 4800 | $0.64 |
| 7200/9600* | $0.69 |
An additional $ 0.20/ea applies to all formats larger than 35mm.
For individual naming and categorizing of slides/film negatives OUTSIDE of the procedure of normal scanning in sequential number- an additional $0.13/ea applies to each picture.
Due to the length of time involved in this additional process and the increasingly large volumes of slides to photos that have been processed over the last year, we look forward to discussing your preferences and particularly your timeline before we proceed with processing your digitize slides service order.
We sincerely regret that we can no longer be responsible for, nor be further held to rushed timelines for orders of slides/negatives/photos in excess of 500+ as there are often two or more orders being processed at a single time. With respect, the necessary time will be taken to do each job well. Many thanks for your understanding and we look forward to serving you!
*Due to the number of requests for higher resolution, we are now also offering the option of scanning negatives/slides at 7200 dpi or 9600 dpi. Although a higher resolution, this option is mainly only necessary for artifacts or making ‘poster-size’ printouts of 35mm slides/negatives when transferring slides to digital.
Both resolutions are the same price, but this option WILL take more time to complete. Please note that the end file sizes are extremely large- A scanned 35mm negative finalized, post-processed and scanned at 7200 dpi is around 80 MB in size and has a general resolution of 9950 X 6290. Minimum compression is used to preserve as much quality as possible when converting slides to digital images, hence the larger file sizes.
When images are scanned at 7200/9600 dpi, ALL images will be scaled down from their original high resolution to a MAXIMUM of 10,500 pixels per side unless otherwise requested on submitting the order. This is due to previous orders where an image is unable to be opened due to the size of the image and the amount of system resources of the computer. This slightly lower resolution will ensure usability on any computer with any amount of system memory and yet will STILL give a crisp print-out of an 8 X 10 photo or larger. A slide/negative at 7200 dpi can have a maximum resolution of 15,000 pixels per side, 9600 dpi will increase to 20,000 pixels per side. Editing ‘raw’ (unchanged and uncompressed) scanned images at 7200/9600 dpi will put an EXTREMELY high demand on your computer’s system memory and processor. For any further questions or comments, we’re here to help in any way!
Photo Restoration Included With Our Convert Slides to Digital Service.
Photo restoration is automatically added to all photos/slides in slideshows. A minimum of $40.00 applies, but the considerable difference will be seen in the end results as much time and care is spent manually editing each single photo to bring the best back from the photos, whether they may be damaged by color-blurring over the years (either going all red, green or blue or the color has faded completely). Other corrections include photos that are badly faded and/or yellowed or if a photo has received stains or cracks over the years.
Free Automated Color, Contrast, Sharpening of Pictures Included With Converting Slides to Digital
Why choose us over the other places that will scan your slides to digital?
We include free automated color/contrast adjustment, as well as manual rotation of each photo. A lot of other companies that convert slides to digital will charge extra for that when they convert slides to digital in Canada.
We will also place your scanned slides/negatives in custom folders if you package your order according to our packaging guidelines.
As each of our processes are completely supervised and the majority thereof is done manually, any labels/annotations printed on the individual slides in years past will also be labeled accordingly to the finished scanned products when converting slides to digital.
Although ALL slides/negatives in a customer’s order are scanned and completed when converting slides to digital images, it is our policy that we WILL NOT charge the customer for any slides that we personally feel are severely deteriorated from time or years past. This includes blurred pictures where the objects/people are not quite discernible, faded slides, etc.

Ron & Rebecca Barnard
When we retired we considered what to do with all our “stuff” as we moved in to a smaller place.
As we raised our children, we faithfully documented first their growth and than their children’s births and growth. We had 13 carousels of 100 slides.
Even by culling out everything that didn’t have a loved one in it, we still had more than 600.
Nigel was recommended to us by a good friend, and we were so happy not only with his work, but his pricing, that we have recommended him to others.
It is amazing to be able to have the grandkids sit and laugh at their father’s antics as a baby.
I have had Nigel do a lot of transfers for me, mostly movies, but also slides. I have been very impressed by the quality of his work. I was especially impressed with the quality of the slides. I enjoy dealing with Nigel. He is conscientious, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. I would gladly recommend him to my friends, or anyone who wants their photographic memories digitized.
