User Reviews

Users like Film scanner Pro as a free, simple tool to quickly convert negatives into viewable photos and share them with others, reviving old film with their phone. However, across multiple reviews the app suffers from reliability and quality issues: exports are low‑resolution and not suitable for print; the inversion/contrast isn't a clean one‑to‑one invert and can clip shadows; saving often fails; the B/W workflow is not obvious and the UI relies on workarounds. Overall sentiment is mixed: easy to use and valuable, but reliability and results need improvement.

Pros

Free to use; few free alternatives for this purpose.
Simple, user-friendly interface.
Quick workflow to turn negatives into viewable photos that can be shared with family and friends.
Helpful for reviving/viewing old negatives quickly on a phone.
Fun and satisfying to see negatives become pictures with just your device.

Cons

Exported images are low-resolution/poor quality, making them unsuitable for printing.
Inversion/contrast behavior is not a clean invert; shadows get clipped and adjustments often fail; some updates worsen black-and-white results.
Saving/exporting images frequently fails (cannot save, or the app crashes on save).
Lack of an obvious black-and-white toggle; the workflow is confusing and requires workarounds (relying on accessibility invert or external steps).
Results often depend on lighting; consistent quality is not guaranteed.

I feel like I must be missing something....how do you scan black and white film??? Is there someplace to change it from color to black and white? If so I keep missing it

This app used to be my go-to for inverting the colors of pictures I took of my film negatives with my DSLR. Even though the colors used to have a slight red tinge to them that might have been user error but that’s besides the point as it was always workable. Now though, the images seem to export in a much lower resolution to the point the exported images are hardly usable. If the developer is able to fix this I will gladly revoke this review as there are very few free alternatives for this type of thing. The way I’ve been using since this app has begun this issue has been a royal pain.

Other reviewers seem impressed with the results. I put negatives on a pure white screen on my iPad and shoot them with the app on my iPhone. The resulting images look like low res garbage. Is there a step I’m missing? Something I’m not doing correctly? So far… bleah. I really want to like it.
