The Blog World of Scanning Film to Digital
📸 Exciting News: Digitize Media Joins the Mr Scan Family!

We’re delighted to announce that Mr Scan Ltd has officially acquired Digitize Media, one of the UK’s leading specialists in slide and negative scanning since 2016.
After many successful years running Digitize Media in Watford, founders Sam and Lewis have decided to step back from daily operations — and have entrusted the business, its customers, and its legacy to our experienced team here at Mr Scan in Farnham.

A Perfect Match
This is an exciting step forward for both companies. Mr Scan has been proudly digitising memories since 2007, starting from a small garden studio and now operating from our beautiful Grade-II-listed Oast House studio in Mead Lane, Farnham.
Digitize Media has built an outstanding reputation for high-resolution slide and negative scanning, while Mr Scan has become known for its comprehensive media conversion services, covering everything from:
🎞️ Cine film & Super 8
📼 VHS, MiniDV & Video8 tapes
💽 Audio cassettes & reel-to-reel
📷 Photographs, slides, negatives & APS film
Now, with both teams’ knowledge combined, Digitize Media customers can enjoy a much wider range of services — all under one roof.
Faster Scanning, Sharper Results
As part of this merger, we’ve also invested in new high-speed, professional-grade scanners that bring even greater image clarity and colour depth to your slides, film and photo collections.
These next-generation systems allow us to scan thousands of images with incredible precision and reduced turnaround times, ensuring that every precious memory looks its absolute best in digital form.

What This Means for Digitize Media Customers
All future Digitize Media orders will now be handled by the Mr Scan team. You’ll still receive the same great service and attention to detail — now backed by over 17 years of digitisation expertise and over 30 years of digital video experience.
Customers can continue to use both websites:
But behind the scenes, it’s all one passionate team based right here in Farnham — carefully bringing your photos, tapes and films back to life.
A Message from the Mr Scan Team
“We’ve always admired Digitize Media for their quality and commitment to preserving memories. It’s a real honour to bring their work into our Farnham studio and carry it forward. This is an exciting new chapter for both brands — and for our customers, who can now access an even broader range of digitisation services under one roof.”
