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.
The same 1958 wedding slide, before and after one 3-second scan.
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.

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.
