I read some mixed reviews about this viewer. But I’m delighted with it. It arrived safely packed and in one piece. It accepts colour slides in hard plastic and in softer cardboard mounts and presents them ready for photographing with your camera phone (you add 2x batteries yourself). The results are excellent. The camera (iPhone) focused immediately on the picture and I can use the camera phone editing facilities to make a very acceptable digital image of the colour transparency. For under 20 I have no complaints whatsoever. Thank you.

I’d been looking for such a machine for some time now. I can now convert all my old negatives into photos in one album and store and circulate them to friends and family members.

I have a load of camera negatives that I want to digitise. This little tool is making it easy to do. It does take a little getting used to, especially when you need to position your phone’s camera in just the right place. Some folk have stated that you don’t need the software, but if I use my normal phone camera all I get is a dodgy photo of a negative. Use the software (if you need to). I prefer to get as much from my negative as possible, so I have ended up preferring the method of taking the picture and then cropping he edges. I just can’t zoom well enough on my phone – I’m either cutting out part of the picture or cropping after, so cropping it is. Don’t get me wrong, it is really nifty and I am enjoying the process.

Please note that the Picscanner will only accept 35mm card transparences and not any that have been put into plastic glass mounts.
Just a mm or so too narrow to accept them!!

Don’t send off your old slides and pay s – this device is just what you need. Even if you just use it once, it’s still a better way of converting them to your phone, and much better value. It couldn’t be easier to use.

I found this easy to use and although the picture quality I wasn’t perfect but it was good enough for me. It works very quickly so that you can get all your slides into to digital format. I definitely recommend this item if you are just looking for something quick and easy to use.

I like the fact you can use AA batteries, which are extremely easy to come by. The light seems bright enough for my needs. It is extremely easy to operate. I’m enjoying flying through scanning in old colour negatives of various formats which will fit into the holder. I’m using Lightroom Mobile to do my editing, but that’s me. I’m sure the Rybozen software is brilliant at what it does. But I pay 10 a month for the privilege to use Adobe software/cloud storage, so I am going to aren’t I. Sorry.

Got this for my dad for Christmas as he has drawers full of negatives from 40+ years ago that have never been developed. Such a simple but great concept. So many memories now converted to digital format which would have otherwise sat in a drawer forgotten about. Great quality of pics too (obviously quality depends on your phone camera – the photos come out better on my iPhone 12 compared to his 7). App very user friendly and simple to use. Great purchase!

Bought this to transfer loads of old family slides, none of which were stunning photos, but lots with now deceased relatives, so much sentimental value. Very easy to use, albeit with a bit of fiddling about. Most of the work is done by your mobile phone, but the table and light box work fine. A tad expensive for a light ox and stand, but much cheaper than buying an all in one viewer and scanner. Don’t bother with the app.

Pleased with the purchase, picture quality is reasonable, others have said you don’t need to download the app but I think you do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased.

Great little gadget, easy to set up and use, tried the App but couldn’t get it to work and you don’t need it! After using my phone, I realised you get an even better image with an iPad! Just slightly trickier to keep in place! Only snag is some of my slides didn’t copy very well – went very blue!

I have inherited a collection of 50 year old plus slides from my father. I would like to digitise them before they deteriorate completely and so preserve the images for the future. I tried a cheapish dedicated slide scanner a few years ago but I was very disappointed with the results. At the price, which was much cheaper than the scanner, I thought this device was a worth a try and I have been pleasantly surprised at how good the results are that I have been able to achieve. I haven’t bothered with the software. I have found I can optimise the settings on my phone to take pin sharp shots of the slides illuminated by the backlight in the device. I then import the image files straight into my linux laptop to tidy them up using the GIMP. The final results are so much better than I could get with the scanner. I think the reason is that using the phone camera to capture the image gives a lot more flexibility. Having read other reviews I can confirm that I had no problems with my phone focusing or with the on/off switch on the device. For me this device exactly meets my requirements.

This is the cheapest slide scanner on Amazon and is probably well overpriced at 30 as it is very plasticy. I must say it is extremely effective in doing what it’s supposed to do. Like a couple of others on here I found I had to place the phone on a thin book to increase the focal range to ensure pin sharp focusing. The software works 50% of the time but I scanned then did post in Photoshop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, but very good at what it does.

This slide scanner did a much better job than I expected it to. The trickiest part of the task was to get the camera on my phone to properly focus and once I figured out how to do that I got good results. The price is probably about double what it should be but I wanted the product so I paid the price.

I found a ton of negatives – both black and white and colour – from a road trip I made in the 1980s to the US recently which I wanted to convert to digital images so I could make a photo book for my best mate (who made the trip with me).. I did a bit of online research and this seemed the most cost effective way to do that without paying exorbitant photo lab costs, etc. The device is very easy to use with the app (I’m a ‘can never be bothered to read the instructions’ personality type, so the fact they were so intuitive was very helpful!!) and produced some lovely images. Admittedly they’re not super high definition, but they had a great vintage quality that really worked I think in the book – and you can use filters in the app to make the colours, contrast etc really pop. And tbf given my abilities as a photographer the originals probably weren’t that great. I would highly recommend this device if you want to do something similar.

We used this to capture images from old colour slides and negatives from our family archives. We had a few issues with the focal range using two different Sony Experia smartphones – really didn’t work very well (even using macro setting). However, an experiment with my cheap 10″ Lenovo tablet proved more successful. We used a suitably-sized shoebox to support the tablet as of course that was too large to balance on the scanner. Given the modest cost compared with more professional equipment we are reasonably pleased with the result. Conclusion: worth experimenting with different devices.

My parents have a lot of slides (apparently it was all the rage back then… instagram of the day or something)

The problem with slides is you either have to use a tiny viewer or get out the massive projector with a clicker — neither are useful for sharing on facebook.

You need to download an app that is capable of changing a negative image to a positive (if doing the negatives) – the app from this company works a charm.
If you are doing black and white slides or colour slides then any camera app will do.

simply slot in the slide or slide in a negative… switch the light on (the white panel lights up)…place your phone on top and snap a picture…done!

essentially its a mini light box… but this is small and compact… the legs fold and the top becomes a lid to make it easy for storage.

My mum loved this because it involved no computers, just a few buttons, and was quick. Now she can look at her photos anytime and share them with the family.

What a great little gadget. I was able to digitize my 35mm slides and negatives with ease. You need to download a free app onto your mobile phone which is very easy to do. You’ll also need a couple of AA batteries and then off you go. Simply lay your phone on the top and take pictures as you would normally. As normal just make sure it’s in focus and looks good then snap away. Of course the results are only as good as the settings on your phone. Make sure you have your phone set for the highest resolution for the best results. There is a little holder you can slide you negative or transparency into. There is a backlight so your phone can pick up the image clearly. If you have other size negatives such as those from instamatic cameras you can simply lay them over the back light and still get great results. Any bigger negatives you will not be able to get the full image but you can manipulate the negative around the backlight to get a partial image. Once you have taken the picture the image is automatically downloaded to your phone. You have the option to upload them to Google photos too. When you view your images on the phone you can drop them and fix them how you want. You can do this on the app while taking the pictures if you want but I chose to download all my images first then drop them later. For the price this is brilliant. See the images I took. A mixture of slides and negatives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning results, easy to use.

I have had some slides tucked away in the drawer for years and have often thought how good it would be to have the ability to convert them to digital photos. This clever product enables you to do just that. It’s a simple design and very easy to assemble.
The process is also simple. It’s just a question of lining up your phone over the slide on the stand and click the button. Because the phone is on the stand there is no hand wobble which gives clarity to the picture.
The only downside is that the spacing between the slide and the phone can sometimes be too close so you can’t get a clear picture. I found by balancing my phone on a beer mat that gave enough distance to enable me to get the clarity I needed. I guess the thing is; it might be a little fiddly to begin with but you can quickly work it out and you then have pictures that you can not only enjoy yourself but also easily forward on to family and friends.
