Scanning photos is usually quick and easy, but sometimes lighting, reflections, or camera movement can affect the quality of your scans. The following accessories can help you get clearer and more consistent results.
Recommended Scanning Accessories
Sturdy Flexible Phone Holder
Why we recommend it:
- Keeps your phone steady while scanning
- Helps prevent blurry or uneven scans
- Holds your phone directly above the photo
It also allows hands-free scanning when used with Voice Control or a Bluetooth Clicker. Learn more about our Phone Holder on Amazon.
Wireless Camera Shutter Clicker
Why we recommend it:
- Lets you capture scans without touching your phone
- Helps reduce camera movement for steadier results
- Makes hands-free scanning easier when used with a phone holder
This can be especially helpful when scanning multiple photos in a row, since you can trigger the shutter from a short distance away without holding your device. Learn more about our Wireless Camera Shutter Clicker on Amazon.
Photo Studio Light Box
Why we recommend it:
- Reduces glare and reflections
- Softens strong lighting
- Helps remove shadows from scans
This makes it easier to capture clearer photos with even lighting. Learn more about our Studio Light Box on Amazon.
Light Pad Backlight
Why we recommend it:
- Provides the backlight needed for slides and film negatives
- Lets you lay the film flat while scanning
- Makes scanning easier and more stable
Instead of holding slides up to a light source, you can simply place them on the light pad and scan. Learn more about our Light Pad on Amazon.
