Scanning View-Master Reels

If you have personal, non-copyright View-Master reels you want to view on your TV or computer, we convert your reels into individual images.

We do not scan copyright-protected reels (commercial, travel, cartoon). Please only send personal family reels.

How It Works

We operate a scanning station dedicated to View-Master reels. Each VM reel has seven pairs of images—one for each eye. Like your eyes, the images are slightly different and your brain combines them in the viewer for a 3D effect. For digitizing, there isn’t enough difference to require scanning both films in each pair.

Our current price is $15 per reel, which includes scanning and overall Photoshop editing of each scan.

Cropping Options

The films have rounded corners. If we crop off the corners, the final image is smaller. To preserve full content (so nobody is cropped out), you can request minimal cropping—even if a corner shows. Tell us your preference or let us use our judgment.

Missing Frames & Reel Care

Aged glue can let films fall out of the cardboard reels. If a frame is missing where we scan, you’ll see a blank result for that position. Please avoid bending the reels; we cannot re-glue films into place.

Editing & Quality

These films are small and many cameras weren’t great. Colors may fade, and some frames show mold or mildew. We apply careful Photoshop edits to improve color and clarity, but results vary by source. We do magic—not miracles—and treat your family history like our own.

We’ve been a home-based business since 2002. While factory services may charge less, our expertise and attention to detail are what set us apart.
