- QuickConvert 2.0 Photo, Slide, and Negative Scanner - Scan 4x6 Photos & 35mm, 110, 126 Film - No Computer Required - 22 MegaPixels

Easy to use! Quality scans! It's well worth the price to be able to scan all my negatives, and those of my other family members, thus saving them all for historical preservation AND now so easy to share among the rest of the family! Couple of tips: Make sure you select the right size negative when starting up the machine and also double check the negative vs photo scanner slide switch in the front - sometimes it will move as you're sliding negatives in and out and will cause a distortion in the negative you're trying to scan. No big deal, just something to be aware of!

This ClearClick image scanner was purchased (initially) for the creation of the ultimate Christmas gift. Family members *truly* enjoy having their decades-old slides & photos available in electronic format. It is relatively labor intensive to work through any project of this type, but where there is a will, there is a way. No doubt, the ClearClick streamlined the entire process and produced amazing results. Where professional digitizing services charge (on average) ~$1/slide or photo, this unit will far exceed its price tag value when you have hundreds to thousands of photographic memories. If you can allocate the time doing the work, yourself, then just do it. Couple of notes: - if scanning slides, use canned-air to remove dust particles prior to each scan. It's well worth the effort, you don't want to have to redo anything. I went through 2 cans, cleaning ~900 slides. I eventually picked up an electric handheld, dust-blower/remover since canned-air can be pricey. At present, I still have a over a few thousand slides yet to scan. - If scanning boxes of slides, carousels of slides, or envelopes of photos: -- Just a suggestion: do one entire box/envelope/slide-carousel at a time. I moved them after each completed batch to a computer. -- I named them using the slide/photo film development date and slide/photo number (when available), using a naming scheme of '<year>_<month>__<slide#/photo#>.jpg, so '1971_08__15.jpg' as an example. Where there was more than one box with same developing dates, I suffixed the month with a letter, ex: '1971_08b__15.jpg' which was slide 15 from the second box. Moving the image files off from the scanner card (using USB mode on the ClearClick) and renaming the jpeg files right away eliminated any potential for confusion of what had already been scanned. - Scanning one slide/photo does take ~1-2 seconds, as indicated. - Scanning photos while they're still in the plastic of an album 'works' but the rows of scanner LEDs could sometimes be seen on the top and bottom of the finished scan. Removing them from the plastic, while it adds more time, is well-worth the effort. You only want to "have to" scan your photos one time, in my opinion. - The ClearClick on-screen menu took a little bit to get used to, but it's relatively intuitive. I only used the brightness and RGB color adjustments a small handful of times. Keep in mind that each of those color adjustment settings remains 'set' until the unit's power is cycled or if you go back in to reset them. - I haven't tried the HDMI 'preview via a TV' feature, but that is certainly a bonus. The screen on the unit worked for my needs. - The included 32GB SD card was more than enough. Image files were, on average, 3-4MB in size using the 22MP setting. The ~900 jpeg files were ~3GB, in total.

So far it’s working well. It was easy to set up with clear instructions. The only thing is picking up the unit and setting it down before and after each scan is an inconvenience. That’s the reason for the 4 stars. I’ve only scanned 45 photos so I haven’t uploaded any from the SD card to my computer yet.

Great size which makes it easy to use. I bought it to scan old photos stuck in photo albums and it worked very well. The scanned photos looked good - color was accurate and the photos looked like the ones in the album. And it was very fast.

Found hundreds of slides for the 1970’s and decided to convert to digital. BlearClick quick Convert 2.0 scanner my choice due to price and information available. I had no issues setting up or converting all these old slides. It comes with a scan disc which made transfer of digital copies of slides easy to sort and get into my computer system. Very glad to have had this scanner for my family’s slides. By the way the many of the slides converted to very good quality pictures even being 50 years old. Highly recommend.

I just discovered I am a day late on returning this contraption. I am kicking myself for getting distracted and not doing the return request a month ago. I got so frustrated dealing with this thing that I put it in the box and then lost track of time. Guess I'll have to sell on Marketplace or something. Here are my main complaints: 1. The film and slide carriers cut off edges of the image. You can try to position them using a different carrier, but it's tricky. 2. It's okay as a photograph/snapshot scanner if you don't have anything else. I ended up using my old HP print/scan/fax/copy/photo machine. 3. The image quality and other controls are simple enough to figure out and use. It's good to have the choice between memory card and direct USB. I didn't try the USB, though. Problem with scanning pictures is that the device has a clumsy design not well-suited to the purpose. Although the product description says 4x6, you can scan 3x5s. The trouble is you have to remove a bottom plastic plate, then position snapshots onto the plate (I had to use double-adhesive tape to keep curled snapshots flat) and futz around with getting the optics part of the device seated onto the plate. This isn't as easy as it sounds because the top part just isn't that ergonomic. I burned up time positioning, repositioning, removing, and repeating the process. The digital quality is ok. 5. The price for the contraption seems high - I only got it because others didn't have the capability to scan films, slides, and pictures. One thing I appreciated was being able to scan some photos glued into photo albums. This can save snapshots from damage. I didn't try the software so I don't know if that's any good.

Para tomar las imágenes de un álbum es complicado y con se obtiene una resolución buena, no lo recomendaría

Exactly as described. Have just started using...I have old odd shaped negatives (from the mid 1950s) so they didn’t fit exactly, but I trimmed the edges and it works perfect! So excited to see the pictures.

crisp pictures

It was working just fine. I got 3 reels done. Then I plugged into my laptop and it wouldn’t work as the USB connection fell inside the unit..there was no way to open it..I contacted the company though and they are sending me another unit.
