For the box of slides you’ve been meaning to look through.
Simple, battery-powered hand viewers from Kenro — for browsing through old 35mm slides and film negatives without needing a projector, a scanner, or any technical know-how. The easiest way to rediscover what’s in those forgotten boxes.
Because a box of slides isn’t much use otherwise.
Almost everyone over fifty has a box of slides somewhere — tucked in a loft, a cupboard, an old camera bag — full of holidays, weddings, christenings, and childhood Christmases. The problem is getting at them. Projectors are bulky, scanners take patience, and holding a slide up to a window only gets you so far.
A small battery-powered viewer is the simplest possible answer. Slot a slide or negative in, look through the eyepiece, and there it is — bright, magnified, the way it was meant to be seen. Brilliant for an afternoon spent rediscovering things you’d half-forgotten.
Two viewers. One straightforward choice.
Both Kenro viewers do the same essential job — the question is whether you have negatives as well as slides, and whether you’d like a bit more magnification. Click either for full specifications and to order.

Found something worth keeping forever?
A viewer is brilliant for going through a collection and working out what’s actually there. But when you find the ones that matter — the lost photograph of your dad, your nan’s wedding, that holiday in 1978 — a viewer can only show you. It can’t share them with the rest of the family, and it can’t back them up against the day a slide finally fades.
That’s where our in-house scanning service comes in. Bring us the slides and negatives you want preserved, and we’ll turn them into high-resolution digital files — ready to email, print, store, and pass on.
