Why We Built This
Half-frame cameras are amazing. You get 72 shots on a roll, the vertical format is perfect for portraits, and the cameras are often compact and affordable. But there's a catch...
Most labs scan half-frame as full 35mm frames, leaving you with merged images. And if you want them cut properly? $6-10 extra per roll.
That's ridiculous. Pay them to scan + develop not charge a dumb fee. So we built a free tool to split your scans automatically. No signup, no fees, no catches.
A Brief History of Half-Frame
The half-frame format was born in 1959 when Olympus introduced the Olympus Pen, designed by Yoshihisa Maitani. The idea was simple: shoot two vertical images on a single 35mm frame, doubling your shots per roll.
The format exploded in popularity throughout the 1960s and 70s. Other manufacturers followed with cameras like the Canon Demi, Yashica Samurai, and Konica AA-35.
Half-frame never died—it's having a renaissance. Film photographers love the economics (72 shots for the price of 36), the unique vertical format, and the often-affordable vintage cameras.
