Field notes
The interface separates uploading a negative, pointing a phone camera at backlit film, and using a display as a light source. Its lightbox instructions specify an 18 mm spacer to diffuse the screen’s pixel grid, and the export menu lists TIFF as a 16-bit master option. The page describes processing as on-device; that privacy claim is presented by the site, not independently verified here.
