Why now
Old film does not wait
Color film fades every year it sits in a drawer. The reds go first, then the yellows, until faces you love turn into shadows. Most family collections from the 1960s to the 1990s are already well into that process.
Mail-in scanning services charge per photo and ask you to ship your only originals across the country. Flatbed scanners need a computer, a driver, and a free weekend per shoebox.
The MemoryVault Box sits on the kitchen table. Insert a negative, press one button, and the photo is saved. Your originals never leave the house.
How it works
Three steps, no manual required
If you can use a toaster, you can digitize your family archive.
Insert your film
Slide a 35mm negative strip or a mounted slide into the included holder. It clicks into place from the side.
Press scan
The built-in light and 5MP sensor capture the photo. It appears on the 2.4 inch screen about 3 seconds later.
Save and share
Every scan saves to the SD card as a standard JPEG. Text it to your family, print it, or back it up.
Technology
Designed for old film
Advanced scanning technology built to convert old film slides and negatives into clear, high-quality digital photos in seconds.
Film format support
Scans 35mm negatives and mounted slides, color or black and white, with holders for both included.
Instant LCD preview
A bright 2.4 inch screen shows every photo the moment it is scanned. No computer in the loop.
One touch control
Insert, press, done. The top buttons handle preview, playback, and small adjustments.
SD card storage
Standard JPEG files on a standard card. Move them to any phone, computer, or photo service.
Film restore technology
Backlight compensation and automatic color correction bring aged, faded film back to life.
5MP image sensor
2592 x 1944 scans, sharp enough to print and to fill a TV screen.
Compact portable design
86mm wide and 580g. It fits on a shelf and travels to a relative's house easily.

“My grandkids can finally see what their great-grandparents looked like. I scanned over 300 slides in a single day, and the photos I thought were lost to fading came back with all their color. The whole family has copies now.”
Margaret T., verified buyer, digitized 300 slides in one day
I had been meaning to go through our old slides for years, but I always assumed it would be difficult. This scanner proved me wrong. Within minutes I was revisiting family holidays, birthdays, and everyday moments I hadn't seen in decades. I only wish I'd done it sooner.

I scanned over 300 slides in a single day. The photos I thought were too faded came back beautifully. My grandkids can finally see what their great-grandparents looked like.
Margaret T.
I almost paid thousands to a mail-in service. This paid for itself after 50 negatives and I didn't have to risk my originals in the mail. Exactly as simple as advertised.
Robert K.
These slides had been sitting in storage for decades. Within minutes I was looking at family vacations and holidays that had been forgotten over time. Now every memory is preserved, backed up, and ready to share with my children and grandchildren.
Sarah M.
No computer needed was the key for me. I'm not good with technology but this I could figure out in 5 minutes. I finally preserved the photos of my kids.
James L.
It was easy to set up, intuitive to use, and delivered far better image quality than I expected. Those memories are safely digitized now and can be shared with future generations. One of the most meaningful purchases I've made.
Karen W.
I never realized how much these old slides were fading until I compared them with the scanned versions. Watching forgotten family portraits come back into focus was incredibly rewarding.
David R.
The setup was straightforward, the scans were surprisingly clear, and every image brought back memories I hadn't thought about in years. I've already digitized hundreds of slides and shared them with my family.
Jennifer L.
Every scan felt like opening another chapter of our family's history. Incredibly easy to use, and rediscovering those forgotten moments has been an absolute joy.

Common questions
Do I need a computer to use it?
No. The MemoryVault Box works on its own, with a built-in 2.4 inch screen. You see every scanned photo immediately. If you later want the files on a computer, the included USB cable transfers them to any PC or Mac.
How long does one photo take?
About 3 seconds. The image appears on the screen and saves to the SD card automatically. Most people scan 50 to 100 slides in an hour, usually at the kitchen table.
Will it work with very old or faded film?
Yes. Backlight compensation and automatic color correction are designed for aged film. Slides from the 1970s and 80s that look dark or yellowed usually come back with their color, which is often the most surprising part.
What if it does not work for me?
You have 90 days. If you are not satisfied with the results, contact us and we refund the order. No return conditions to argue about.
