VintVue
Bring the past
into view.
VintVue is a precision viewing tool for the negatives that have spent a lifetime in drawers, boxes, and closets—waiting to become photographs again.
Requires a light table or other backlight
Same frame. Instantly understandable. Give the film even light, point VintVue at it, and see the photograph hiding inside.
The idea
The memories are already there.
VintVue helps you look through forgotten frames, understand what they contain, and reconnect with photographs that may never have been printed or seen clearly.
Interactive view
From negative
to photograph.
Drag the control to move between the film negative and the image hidden inside it. This is the core of VintVue: immediate visual understanding, with precise control close at hand.
Drag anywhere across the image
Precision without clutter
Everything the negative needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Built for color and black-and-white
Choose the viewing mode that matches the film in your hand and keep the tools focused on the image.
Precision image control
Fine-tune the view so faint detail, difficult exposure, and aging film are easier to understand.
How it works
Three steps.
One recovered image.
- 01
Give the negative light
Place the film in front of a bright, even light source so the frame can be read clearly.
- 02
Open VintVue
Choose the mode that matches the film and bring the negative into the live view.
- 03
Find the photograph
Use the focused image controls to reveal detail and understand what has been waiting on the film.
Available on the App Store
