Which companies still turns photos into slides?

You need to bring your slide film to a high end photo shop.
Most towns have them.
Look in your local phone book, yellow pages...Show more

Wow, this question has attracted a lot of responses.

Your original question can be interpreted in several ways, so I'll try and answer it in a couple of different ways.

The first option is that you're going on a trip, or something of that sort, and want to put together a slide show when you return.

Fortunately, that's the easiest option. To do this, you need to take the photographs on slide film, which is still made and is better than it ever was. There are a number of different slide films available from Kodak and Fuji. For a good, basic, general purpose film, I'd suggest Kodak Elite Chrome 100, or Fuji Sensia 100. These are both "consumer" films, but are still quite good. If you can't find either of these, I would suggest either Kodak E100GX or Fuji Astia 100F. These should be available from any local camera store which caters to professionals. Alternatively, you can order them online from B&H Photo.

Once you've shot the film, processing is probably best done at a local pro lab(look in your yellow pages for "photo finishing-custom). These are few and far between these days, though. If you don't have one, drop the film in the send-off box of any grocery store, drug store, etc. The cheapest, and best(in my opinion) is Walmart. Slide film goes to one of the top labs in the country, Dwayne's Photo, at a cost of $4.88 a roll.

The other option is that you have prints or negatives which you want to have transferred to slides.

There are two ways of going about this. The traditional way is using a 35mm camera to photograph the negative or print. This is done by using a copy stand for prints, or using special holder, lens, and bellows for film. There are labs which will do this for you. Turning negatives into slides, however, requires a special type of film which Kodak has not made in a few years(I have a few rolls squirreled away, but I'm not parting with them any time soon).

The better option is using a something called a film recorder, which uses LASERs to expose film from a digital file. Using a film recorder, the negative or print is first scanned, then, optionally, edited, and finally put back on slide film. This same thing can also be done using an original digital file.

In any case, Dwayne's Photo, sourced via Walmart, can handle all of these....Show more

Im going to start my answer off with a questions. Why is this still unanswered? I don't think that the people answering your question are as unintelligent as the person asking it, this has been answered and more than enough additional information has been given. The simple answer would be that there never was, and never will be a company that will turn a "photo" into a slide. If your looking to have slides of something than what you must first do is buy slide film also known as transparency film, Fuji and Kodak both manufacture it. Then get it developed it is an different process for developing than print or negative film. (but if you get it cross pro.....never mind) That is how you achieve a slide, which im assuming was the intentional question.
