Prints From Movie Film Clips

Have a small 8mm or 16mm movie clip you’d like as a paper print? We digitize single frames at high resolution and save them as ready-to-print image files.

What we do

If you send us your movie film clip, we’ll digitize a representative frame and save it to a CD or other digital media so you can get prints made locally. Most photo labs that process film also print from digital files.

What to expect from quality

Movie frames are very small and were not designed for large still prints. When a frame is enlarged, you will see the film’s true detail and grain. That may be fine for many keepsake photos—sometimes something is better than nothing when it’s a precious memory worth saving.

Example

You can see an example below. This Tiny 8mm film clip preview thumbnail is a clip from an 8mm film. We scanned the movie frame at high resolution and saved a finished image around 7" × 6" at 300 ppi.

Pricing

Because these clips require special handling, pricing is higher than standard scans. Please contact us or call 1-800-799-7866 for current pricing.
