How to Enjoy
Insert batteries into the compartment base (Tip: The compartment does not come with a screw, so be careful! Rest on a stable surface, and play gently)
Assemble cardboard platform via the provided instructions (Tip: It’s best to be patient! The box is like a mini puzzle, so make sure the pieces fit together perfectly. It’s all part of the fun!)
Power on the mini light (Tip: An on/off switch is built right in. If the LED flickers a bit, try adjusting the batteries. Also, the illumination isn’t supposed to be super strong. It’s about fun and play—not perfect professional results)
Place phone on the platform, making sure the lens is lined up with the hole on the scanner; select your desired film type via the app (Tip: App compatibility varies. While it works best with later model Android and iOS systems, full functionality depends on your specific smartphone. If your app is acting up, our platform also works with other film scanner apps!)
Insert a slide or negative and click to capture (Tip: Focus is key. Remember to adjust the focus of the camera by tapping the center of the screen while the image is scanning. Resolution depends on the camera, auto-focus and quality of the slide/film)
View your old films—virtually!
For decades, old 35mm slides and negatives were difficult to view, time-consuming to develop, and expensive to save. Now, the innovative KODAK brand brings photo scanning into the 21st century! This simple little gadget makes it possible to see, edit, save and share old film photographs in a matter of seconds.
Got a smartphone? Let’s scan!
Requiring no fancy interfaces, software, cameras or conversion equipment, the scanner digitizes all your 35mm black and white and color negatives with incredible ease and efficiency. There’s just one simple requirement: you need a smartphone! Note that app compatibility and functionality vary by device.
Novelty toy meets nostalgic fun
Talk about a thoughtful gift! Instead of investing in professional scanning equipment, this amazing toy makes the perfect starter scanner. It’s great for flipping through old films and slides on a rainy day, sharing a couple of childhood photos on social media, or showing your children and grandchildren the ways of the world—way back then!
No more bulky equipment!
Finished your trip down memory lane? The tiny scanner is made of lightweight, durable cardboard (be gentle!) and folds down easily for storage and travel. When you’re done scanning, collapse the smartphone seat and film tray into a cute, compact box, slip in your pocket, and be on your way. It really is a pleasure to play with!
Awesome Editing Features
Use the free app to rotate, crop, filter, adjust color and contrast, and so much more. Results will vary depending on the specific camera, slide quality, auto-focus and smartphone type. Have fun, play around, and see if you can create a picture-perfect image to warm the hearts of family and friends
Stories to tell. Stuff to show.
At KODAK, we know your memories mean everything. The Mobile Film Scanner strives to bring the past to the masses, simplifying the scanning process so you can experience yesterday without complicating today.
Please note:
In order for the scanner to work, please make sure to download and install the app on your smartphone. Make sure it works! Without the free app, your box is just a box.
When scanning, be sure to line up the camera lens with the hole. Precision is important, and the clarity of the shot depends on this key step.
Tap, tap, tap! When capturing the image, you must tap your smartphone screen to initiate auto-focus and eliminate blur. Sadly, the box can’t do it for you!
Resolution depends on the smartphone you are using. The better the camera, the better the final result. Keep this in mind when viewing images.
Remember that your cute little scanner is made from cardboard (and is sturdy as cardboard can be!). It’s perfectly portable—but not indestructible.

A step up from your homemade scanner! Ours has a built-in lamp for subtle illumination. Insert 2 AA batteries and flip the switch.
Convenient Compatibility
Scan 35mm black and white and color negatives or color slide positives. Select film type via the app; no adapters necessary.
Tap to Focus
Place your smartphone’s lens over the hole and tap the screen to focus! Images appear on the screen for instant viewing.
Straight to Social Media
No need to save photos on your computer or SD card. The app has a ‘Share’ icon so you can post in one easy step.
