126 Slide Scanning

The film called “126” is best known for Kodak Instamatic cameras (plastic cartridges with one registration hole per image). We digitize your developed 126 slides to high-quality JPEG, then apply careful Photoshop edits—no black bars or dirty edges.

The cartridge contained 12 or 24 exposures (24 became standard). Because 126 slides are almost square, poor scans often crop top and bottom and leave black side bars. Our workflow preserves the full frame and precision-crops for a clean image.
