USB Slide Converter

Choosing the right USB slide converter is an important first step to digitizing your old slides or negatives.

If you make the right choice, you're likely to see results that look as good (if not better) than the original slide versus poor results that will make you wish you'd paid a company like ScanCafe to do the work for you. Below you'll find the best USB slide converter based on current customer reviews, as well as other options for film and slide scanners.

The Canon CanoScan 9000F is currently the best USB slide converter for anyone who wants a good quality slide scanner at a reasonable price. More than 125 people have given it five stars on Amazon, making it the most popular film and slide scanner at this time. It comes with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connectivity, 9600x9600 dpi resolution, FARE Level 3 retouching capability and much more.

The CanonScan is a great scanner for anyone who needs top quality scans and can't afford the expense of professional scanners costing thousands of dollars. But if you need something a little less expensive that takes up less room, the Ion USB slide converter is also well-rated, earning an average of 3 out of 5 stars from about 200 customers.

There are a wide variety of USB slide converters on the market today, from small stand-alone products to flatbed scanners like the CanonScan shown here. Which one is best for you depends on the price you can pay, as well as the quality, speed and features you want. Here are some other options to help you find the best 35mm film scanner and slide scanner.
