How Do 35mm Slides Differ from 110, 126, and Other Photo Slides?

You’ve likely stumbled upon boxes of old photo slides while cleaning out the attic or organizing family memories.

By purchasing an Heirloom box, you can preserve those moments forever and avoid the heartbreak of fading, damaged, or lost slides.

Photo Slide Formats

Before you send your slides, it’s helpful to understand the differences between the formats. Whether you’re familiar with 110, 126, or 35mm, Heirloom can digitize them all.

110 Slides

Small in size, 110 slides were popular for pocket cameras in the 1970s. Their compact nature makes them easy to store, but they can be easily damaged. Send us your 110 slides for high-resolution digital conversions before they degrade.

126 Slides

The larger square format of 126 slides offers better image quality, making it a popular choice for family events. These slides can become brittle with age, so don’t wait too long to convert them into long-lasting digital files.

135 Slides (35mm)

Known for their vibrant detail and clarity, 135 slides were the professional choice for photographers. Despite their durability, even these slides can lose their luster over time. Let us help you preserve their brilliance by converting them to digital format.

The Clock Is Ticking—Act Now

The longer you wait, the more likely your slides will fade, get damaged, or be lost forever. Dust, mold, and time are unforgiving. Don’t let your family’s memories vanish! By digitizing your photo slides now, you’re securing them for future generations.

And with Heirloom, you don’t have to worry about complicated processes or hard-to-find equipment. The entire digitizing process is as easy as packing up your slides and dropping them off at your nearest UPS Store. We handle the rest, ensuring every photo is safely preserved in high-quality digital format.

What Happens If You Don’t Digitize?

Here’s what’s at risk if you delay digitizing your slides:

• Fading Colors: All slides will eventually lose their color vibrancy.
• Physical Damage: Scratches, dust, and mold can ruin the images forever.
• Outdated Equipment: Slide projectors are a thing of the past—how will you even view them?

But when you digitize, you eliminate all those risks. With Heirloom’s affordable and stress-free process, you’ll have your memories in the cloud or on your computer, ready to be viewed and shared with your loved ones whenever you want.
