About Mr Scan Ltd


Mr Scan Ltd – Photo, Film and Video Digitisation Specialists.

Established in 2007, Mr Scan Ltd is a professional UK photo, film and video digitisation company based in Farnham, Surrey, helping customers preserve irreplaceable family memories in modern digital formats.

We provide a comprehensive range of photo scanning and video conversion services, including VHS to digital, VHS to USB, camcorder tape conversion, Video8 and Hi8 conversion, MiniDV transfer, cine film conversion, Super 8 and 8mm film transfer, 35mm slide scanning, negative scanning, APS film scanning and photograph scanning.

Our experienced in-house team has digitised millions of photographs, negatives, slides, film frames and hours of video footage for customers throughout the UK.

Video Tape to Digital.

We convert a wide range of old video and camcorder formats to modern digital files, USB and other available formats. These include VHS, VHS-C, S-VHS, Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV and many other domestic and professional video formats.

Whether you have a single family VHS tape or an extensive archive of old camcorder recordings, our aim is to preserve the footage at the best practical quality available from the original recording.

Cine Film Conversion.

Old family cine films can be professionally digitised, including 8mm, Super 8 and 9.5mm cine film. Digitising cine film makes old footage easier to watch, share with family and preserve for future generations.

Slides, Negatives and APS Scanning.

Mr Scan specialises in high-quality 35mm slide scanning, photographic negative scanning and APS film scanning.

We can digitise everything from a small collection of family photographs to archives containing thousands of slides or negatives, providing high-resolution digital images that are easy to view, copy and share.

Photograph Scanning and Restoration.

Printed photographs can be professionally scanned to create high-quality digital copies. We also offer photo restoration services for photographs affected by fading, colour deterioration, scratches and other age-related damage.

UK-Wide Postal Service.

Although our studio is based in Farnham, Surrey, the majority of our services are available to customers throughout the UK using our established postal service.

Customers can securely send their VHS tapes, camcorder tapes, cine films, photographs, slides and negatives to us for digitisation, with original material returned after the project is completed.

Local customers can also arrange delivery and collection directly from our Farnham studio.

Mr Scan has specialised in preserving photographs, film and video since 2007. Unlike general photographic retailers, digitisation is our core business and our work is carried out in-house by our own experienced team.

I asked Mr Scan to transfer some pretty old VHS tapes onto a memory stick, at the same time with a request to restore some very damaged photos. I was delighted with the results- the quality was better than I expected. I had one little query and it was responded to immediately (and happily). I am very happy to recommend their services. I will be calling on them again myself very soon.
Response : Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation. We’re delighted to hear that you were so pleased with both your old VHS tape transfers and the restoration of your damaged photographs. Bringing old family memories back to life is exactly what we love doing, so it’s great to know the results exceeded your expectations. We really appreciate you choosing Mr Scan and look forward to helping you with your next batch of memories very soon!

Very helpful in office and prompt service well within the scheduled time allocation. The scanned slides, although 'vintage', have come out with impressive clarity and will be valued by myself and family. Shall certainly use MrScan again for further assignments.
Response : Thank you for your great review. We’re really pleased you were happy with the quality of your slide scanning and our turnaround time. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to working with you again.

Absolutely brilliant service. I asked for a speedy turnaround and was amazed when it was done in four days. I’m now watching my videos of precious memories so fantastic.

Loved the quality of the Cine standard 8 film transfer you did for me , the quality is 100% better than the transfer I had done way back in the 90’s where you still had the flicker of the projector and yellowing out of focus-ness. My Cine film was very brittle so wasn’t expecting too much But I was well pleased with the results. Many thanks guys.

Had four rolls of APS film scanned with digital download of the results which were of very high quality. Great service from beginning to end.
Response : Thank you so much Stuart :).

I recently had a large number of slides taken by my father in the 1950s and 1960s digitally scanned by Mr Scan. My sister and I are very pleased with the results. The photos could have been taken yesterday! The quality and professionalism of the company is outstanding with great communication throughout the process. I will certainly be returning with more slides soon. Thank you Mr Scan.
Response : Thank you so much Robert, looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic slides.

My slides, which had been sitting in boxes for years, were put on a memory stick. I'm now really enjoying being able to look at all my old photos. Some of them are a lot clearer and brighter than previously. When I phoned initially, Stuart at Mr Scan was helpful and friendly, and the whole process of delivery and collection worked very smoothly.

Fantastic. 60 years ago 15 first year postgraduate students prepared a Xmas skit for the department. It was a cine film with sound on a separate reel-to-reel audio tape. Mr Scan compiled these together with synchronised sound into a digital format for the 80th birthday of three of those students, all alive and all have celebrated Golden Weddings. Thank you for revitalising our forgotten youth!

Have used Mr Scan several times found communication excellent, quality of conversion (some very old cine film) excellent better than I expected. cheers Mr Scan will use again.

I sent one very previous slide of my two friends from 60 years ago taken in Minneapolis. I am 82 and the man explained by e-mail exactly how I should send the slide and pay for it to be done, £5 in my envelope, and how the picture would be sent e-mail and then the original back through the post. I cannot thank him enough for the way he dealt with me and made me feel my slide would be safe.
Response : Hi Ann, thank you so much for your review, it was a pleasure to help. Glad you like the results. Customers can pay in multiple ways online using a card, PayPal or bank transfer or like Ann on smaller orders cash is also perfectly as good.

Just received the images from 25 year old APS films. I was not expecting great things, however, the images are incredible and I was very grateful for the speedy turnaround ready for a friends silver wedding anniversary present.
Response : Thanks Julie.

Mr San has done more brilliant work for me in digitising more old photographs and slides. They have come up so clearly compared to my effort.
Response : Thank you so much Jennifer, we love what we do :).

I have had two orders processed by Mr-Scan recently, the first a box of APS cartridges from the late 90s, and the second several hundred 35mm transparencies from the late 60s. The results from both have been excellent with no blemishes or dust/noise. Would definitely recommend.
Response : Thanks Darren :).

I dug out neary a hundred 35mm slides that I took over 40 years ago, and asked Mr Scan to convert them to digital. The result is excellent - no dust marks or any other blemishes, and the digital versions look better than the originals! This is definitely the place to go if you have old slides that you want to see again.

Sent off some old VHS and 8mm tapes with treasured memories and back they came on a wee memory stick in record time. Very efficient operation. Recommended - in fact I went to them due to a recommendation!

I found some old monochrome film rolls at the back of a drawer and, being curious, I had them scanned by Mr. Scan. They turned out to contain wonderful memories of our wedding and early life of which the photographs themselves had long been lost. It was absolutely great to have this service by Stuart. Friendly, fast and great quality ! Can only recommend to have a look in your boxes and drawers to see if you, too, could benefit from this great service. .
