Added 35mm border and scan texture
Carefully extracted from real film scanners
We've used industry-grade film lab scanners with a variety of film formats and masks to source the best possible quality film borders.

These can now be drag-and-dropped as overlays on any of your digital photographs, giving your photos a sense of tactility and analogue nostalgia.
