Using the KLIM Film Scanner App
Note: These app usage instructions are accurate at the time of the writing of this user manual. There may be slight differences with the actual app due to the live updates as we continuously improve it. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any help using our scanning app!

Scan this QR code with your phone’s camera to download the app OR search for “KLIM Film Scanner” in the App store for Apple devices or Google Play for Android devices.
Open the app on your smartphone and press “Let’s go”. Choose “OK” when the prompt shows up where the app asks permission to access the camera.
Read through the instructions.
The app will go in camera mode. At the top you can choose between three angles: wide, ultra-wide and telephoto. Choose whichever shows the best results on your camera and press on the scan button at the bottom of your display.
- Note: if none of these angles work for your camera you can install the included shorter brackets as your phone might require a shorter distance to the film. For instructions on how to change the brackets please refer to the section: “Changing support brackets for shorter focal lengths”.
Once you’ve made your first scan the app will give you some editing options at the bottom: Rotate left, Undo, Aspect Ratio, Rotate right. Additionally you can crop the scan by dragging the corners of the image towards the centre. You can always undo your actions by pressing on the undo button at the bottom. Once you are done with your edits you can press on “Choose” in the bottom right corner.
In the next screen you can choose the film type (positive or negative). Additionally you can select some more advanced edit tools at the bottom of your screen. You can always reset to the original scan by pressing the reset button at the top left.
When you’re pleased with the results you can choose “Export” at the bottom left and either save it to your phone or share it.
Note: in this step you will also see a third “About” button. If you want to change the language you can press on it and select your preferred language there.
To make your next scan simply press on the camera button at the bottom middle of your screen and repeat the process.

Changing support brackets for shorter focal lengths
The preinstalled brackets are suitable for most phones, but shorter brackets are included for phones with shorter focal lengths to ensure sharp images.
Removing the preinstalled brackets

Gently push with your thumbs left and right of the hinges to push the brackets out.
Take the shorter brackets and do the opposite of step 2 by placing the new bracket against the hinges and pulling them gently with your index fingers until they snap in place.
