Opinion: Can you convert your old photos and negatives to digital at home?


For movies, the easiest way is to project the movies on a screen or wall and just set up your phone on some type of tripod to capture the image. — Photo by Scott Rodgerson on Unsplash

This week I heard from a reader, “I have a ton of old photos, negatives (both 35mm and medium format 120/220mm), 16mm movie film, slides, camcorder video and a few VHS cassettes that I need to convert to digital. I know there are phone apps that advertise their ability to quickly and easily convert all but movies and video, as well as services like Legacy Box who can do it all. I would love your recommendations."

There are different solutions for each type of media that needs converting. The easiest way is to send them off for converting to a company like Legacy Box or Capture.com.
