Sprocket Scans is a film scanning service specializing in 35mm film scans with exceptional detail, natural colours, and optional film borders.
Choose between two signature looks.
Sprocket Scans
Maximize your negatives by preserving the entire film border, showing off your film's stock, sprockets, and frame numbers. A look that feels tangible, artistic, and modern.
Full frame scans
A classic look that maximizes image quality and preserves the full frame exactly as it was composed in-camera.
Sprocket Scans uses a technique called “camera scanning,” which involves photographing the film negative with a digital camera, then using special software to turn them into positives (the final result).
