Your film stocks
Stop retyping the same films. Pick your favorites from a long list of current film stocks and they show up right in the metadata editor.
The perfect post-lab process
Manage your film scans easily.
Organize your files, edit their metadata and create printable contact sheets, all in one app. Your film rolls, ready to archive: digitally and physically.
Currently available for macOS.
Make your film scans ready for storage
From lab to library.
Unlike photos from a digital camera, lab scans arrive without metadata. Import them into your photo library as they are and they end up in the wrong order and the wrong place. FilmRoll Manager fixes that.
Reverse
Roll Order
Was your film scanned backwards? It happens a lot with respooled film. Reverse the whole roll with one click.
Bulk Edit
Meta Data
When did you shoot the roll, and with which film, camera and lens? Enter it once and it is embedded in every frame.
Bulk Rename
Bare numbers are boring. With your metadata, film stocks and gear in place, renaming a whole roll feels like building with bricks.
One more thing
Struggling to organize your physical film rolls?
Filing negatives is tedious when you can barely tell the frames apart. A contact sheet shows the whole roll at a glance, no light table or loupe needed.
That's where FilmRoll Manager shines as well.
Create Contact Sheets
FilmRoll Manager turns any roll into a printable contact sheet. File it right next to your negative sleeve and know what is on every frame.
Film stocks, cameras and lenses
Your favorites, always at hand.
Your gear
Save your cameras and lenses once and pick them in the metadata editor. FilmRoll Manager embeds both correctly in every file.

The Creator
Hi, I'm Michele.
I'm a photographer, designer and maker of books.
I've been shooting film for a while now, but every time the scans come back from the lab I struggle to organize my film rolls properly (it's a big problem!!!). That's why I created FilmRoll Manager.
I hope it helps with your process too. Some of its features exist in other editing apps, but I wanted a more streamlined and minimal experience. And hey, it's free for everyone so check it out!

Does FilmRoll Manager change my images?
Only metadata is written. The picture data stays untouched. Still, it is a good habit to try FilmRoll Manager on a copy of a scan folder first.

Are my scans uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your computer. There are no uploads, no account and no analytics.
Is it really free?
Yes. I built it for my own rolls and share it for free.
