photo scanner

Picture-to-file converter

A photo scanner is a device that digitizes photographs, converting physical prints or negatives into digital image files.

Unlike general-purpose document scanners, photo scanners typically offer higher resolution and color accuracy to preserve image quality: I used a photo scanner to archive my grandmother's old pictures.

Some models include specialized holders for slides and film negatives.
