Video Tapes

We digitize video tapes at the highest quality in the world. Before we digitize your video, We make a digital “clone” of your analog media. This allows us to extract every last ounce of detail from even aging or damaged tapes. Tapes are also digitized at their most optimal “native” resolutions, and then upscaled to 1080p or 4K depending on the option you choose.

How do I know how many photos I have?

A rough rule of thumb is to stack your photos together and measure the height. One inch equals approximately 100 photos. Of course, this is just an average estimate and is affected by the thickness of your photo paper.

How will you ensure my photos are kept safe during the entire process?

Safety of your media is our #1 concern, because we know how precious these memories are to you. We use multiple security measures, including:

24/7 monitored facilities with security cameras
Climate-controlled storage areas
Professional handling by trained technicians
Advanced tracking systems
Real-time monitoring of all shipment tracking information

As a result of these measures, it is extremely rare that anything unexpected would happen to the media you send to us.

Will I get my original photos, tapes, and other media returned to me?

Do I get my original photos & video tapes back?

We work as fast as we scan. Sometimes, we are able to return your media to you in under 6 weeks. We believe that slow and steady wins the race. This is why we only scan each photo individually by hand, instead of using more automated processes. This ensures the highest resolution and fidelity of your memories. Digitizing decades’ worth of memories is a large undertaking, and we don’t think this is something you’d want to rush and then regret - or worse, have to redo in the future.

How long does it take?

We cannot provide a guaranteed time frame. Our aim is to have everything physically returned to you in approximately 6 to 8 weeks after you send them out. This includes both digitization and shipping times. However, occasionally, it may take longer than this to complete everything. Likewise, depending on the circumstances, it may also be faster.

In any case, even before you get your physical media back, you will be able to view and download your photos on our cloud service.
