The PictoScanner app turns any smartphone into a scanner. The principle is based on a photographer’s light table, the LED backlight diffuses an equal light across the whole negative or 35 mm slide. The PictoScanner is fun and can be set up in seconds. After many tests aiming at the quality I was looking for, I finally created the PictoScanner and I hope that this small and simple tool will allow people to revisit their memories endlessly,” said Simon Lautrop about his invention. Smartphones have impressive cameras, so I decided to see if this could be useful to create my mini scanner. “I wanted to create a device that would let everyone rediscover and enjoy their old photos. Simon began a long process of digitising all the old photos but wanted to make it easy for others that didn’t have photography equipment. When Simon’s mother passed away, he was left with boxes overflowing with old negatives and film: memories of his mother and his own childhood. PictoScanner was created by Danish photographer, Simon Lautrop, as a response to the challenges of digitizing old photographs simply.

Pictoscanner is a simply brilliant way to digitise images from film negatives, ideal for families with drawers full of forgotten images and a great last minute father’s day gift. At the same time, the lockdowns have made many people nostalgic over thoughts of family and friends. Many people have taken up new hobbies over the last year or used the time to organise and declutter their homes. Purposefully low-tech, it is a carboard, AA battery-powered backlight that uses a smartphone camera and simple app to scan and digitise negatives and slides.
Created by a Danish professional photographer, PictoScanner provides an easy way to bring old photos back to life. Now available in the UK and Ireland, PictoScanner is a portable scanner that turns negatives and slides into digital images using any smartphone.
