Negativo - Negative Scanner

Turn film negatives into positive photos on your iPhone or iPad, with nothing uploaded. Converting and previewing are free; a one-time purchase unlocks saving and sharing the full-resolution positive without a watermark, and converting up to 50 negatives at once.

Works with 35mm and 120 medium-format negatives (6×4.5, 6×6, 6×7 and 6×9), in color or black-and-white. Put a strip in a holder that masks between frames and each frame is cropped automatically, or shoot one frame at a time. Any crop can be adjusted by hand.

Turn your old film negatives into real photos.

Got a box of 35mm negatives in a drawer? Negative Scanner turns them into positive pictures using just your phone. Photograph a negative against any light — a window, a lamp, or a lightbox — and the app converts it into the photo it was always meant to be.

Color negatives carry an orange film-base mask; Negative Scanner removes it and inverts the image, giving you a great starting point. Because color varies from film to film, easy exposure and white-balance sliders let you nudge skin tones and colors until they look right. Black-and-white negatives invert cleanly too.

No ads. No subscription. Pay once and scan forever.

• PHOTOGRAPH, DON'T BUY HARDWARE — no scanner, no dock, no adapter. Your phone and any light source are all you need.
• COLOR & BLACK-AND-WHITE — orange-mask removal for color film, clean inversion for B&W.
• A GREAT STARTING POINT, THEN FINE-TUNE — manual exposure and white-balance let you dial in the look. Reset anytime.
• LIVE PREVIEW — see the positive update as you adjust, before you save.
• FULL RESOLUTION — save the finished picture to Photos, or share it to Files and beyond. No watermark.
• 100% ON DEVICE — your negatives and photos never leave your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no uploads.
• NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION — negative-scanning apps love a weekly fee. This one is a single purchase. Pay once, keep it forever.

Perfect for digitizing family archives, 35mm rolls, and vintage analog shots you thought were gone for good.

Note: color-negative conversion depends on the film stock and your light source. Think of the automatic result as a strong first pass — the built-in exposure and white-balance controls make it easy to finish the look yourself.

One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads.
