Film scanning questions, answered
How do I digitize film negatives without a scanner?
All you need is your phone and a bright white screen. Hold the negative against a monitor, tablet, or a second phone set to a white screen, open Posify, frame the negative, and tap to capture. Posify inverts it into a finished photo in seconds.
Does Posify work with 120 medium format film?
Yes. Posify supports both 35mm and 120 medium format negatives, including half-frame 35mm. Frame one image at a time and Posify handles the rest.
How does Posify remove the orange mask from color negatives?
C-41 color film has an orange mask built into the film base. Posify detects and removes it automatically, then inverts the image and restores accurate, true-to-life colors. No manual color correction needed.
Do I need special hardware or a light table?
No. There is no dedicated scanner, adapter, or light table to buy. Any bright white screen works as a backlight, so a laptop, tablet, or second phone is all you need.
Does Posify work with black and white negatives?
Yes. Black and white negatives have no orange mask, so Posify simply inverts the tones to give you a clean monochrome photo.
