Questions? We've Got Answers

FilmSnap works with both color negatives (C-41 process) and black & white film. We have profiles for popular stocks from Kodak, Fuji, and Ilford—basically, if you shot it, we can scan it.

Our algorithm removes the orange mask from color negatives and gives you natural-looking colors right away. Premium film profiles add that final authentic touch to match your original stock.

Absolutely! FilmSnap handles older film just fine. If your negatives are severely damaged or faded, try using a dedicated light table for better backlight—but we'll still do our best with what you've got.

The free version exports at 1080p HD—great for social media and everyday use. Premium unlocks full sensor resolution (usually 12MP+), perfect for printing or archiving.

Yes, completely. Everything happens on your phone—your photos never leave your device. No cloud uploads, no servers, no data collection. Your memories stay yours.
