    Yes. If you’re in the NYC area, you have several good options, plus national mail-in services.

    Good choices for old slides

    • EverPresent — Chelsea location at 197 9th Ave. They digitize slides and negatives, offer restoration/enhancement, and can organize the resulting files. Their service handles a particularly wide range of slide formats.
    • Boutique Film Transfer NYC — 124 W 25th St. A more specialized option for vintage photos, slides, negatives and family archives, including restoration.
    • DiJiFi — Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Specializes in digitizing photos, slides, negatives, film and other legacy media.
    • Bleeker Digital Solutions — SoHo/NoHo area at 85 Kenmare St. They process slide film and offer high-resolution scanning, including TIFF options.
    • White Glove Memories Digitizing — Madison Ave. Particularly interesting if you have a valuable family archive: they emphasize in-house handling, organization, color enhancement and secure shipping.

    Mail-in options

    ScanCafe is probably the first national service I'd price out. It currently lists 35mm color slides at $0.48/image, with 10MP scans, color correction, dust/scratch removal and other basic enhancements. They also handle 110, 126, 127 and medium-format slides.

    ScanCafe slide-scanning service

    Legacybox is another convenient mail-in option. It accepts 35mm/126 slides, provides digital delivery and returns your originals; current standard processing is listed at roughly 4–6 weeks.

    What I'd choose

    If you have hundreds or thousands of ordinary family 35mm slides, I'd start with ScanCafe and compare its quote against EverPresent.

    If you have irreplaceable slides, very old/faded slides, or unusual formats, I'd lean toward a specialist such as EverPresent, Boutique Film Transfer, or White Glove Memories, where you can discuss cleaning, restoration and scan resolution before handing over the originals.

    If you tell me roughly how many slides you have (e.g. 200, 1,000, 5,000) and whether they're 35mm carousel slides, I can compare the likely cost and scan quality of the best 3–4 options.

    Several well-known mail-in services specialize in digitizing old 35mm and format slides, including ScanCafe, Southtree , and ScanMyPhotos .

    Popular Slide Digitization Services

    • ScanCafe : Offers hand-inspected slide scanning with manual color correction, dust removal, and options for digital downloads, USB drives, or hard drives.
    • Southtree : Processes slides by hand in the US using a secure mail-in kit (crush-proof box with barcode tracking) and delivers files via thumb drive, cloud, or DVD.
    • ScanMyPhotos : Provides bulk prepaid "slide scanning boxes" as well as individual slide or carousel-loading options for large collections.
    • Walmart Photo (via YesVideo) : Allows you to drop off or mail in orders through select partnerships, transferring scanned images to digital JPEGs, a MemoryCloud account , or optional USB/DVD.
    • Local Camera Shops : Many independent local photo specialty stores still offer high-resolution film and slide scanning if you prefer not to ship your memories via mail.

    If you want to narrow this down, let me know:

    • How many slides you approximately have
    • Whether they are in carousels, boxes, or loose
    • If you prefer a local drop-off or mail-in service

    I can help recommend the most cost-effective option for your specific collection size.
