# Can I get already-developed film scanned only?

Yes - just pick "Scan only" on the order page. Perfect for digitizing old negatives; your film is always returned.

Absolutely. On the processing order page, choose the **"Scan only (developed film)"** button for each roll. Since no development is involved, you only pay for the scanning.

Great for:

- Digitizing old negatives and slides found at home
- High-quality scans of film developed elsewhere or self-developed
- Re-scanning rolls that were only scanned at low resolution before

Cut, sleeved film strips are fine to send as-is. After scanning, your film is **always returned** (return shipping is included in the price). For older film with mold or strong curl, we will handle it as carefully as we can - just mention it in the order notes.
