Why digitize your old tapes and photos?

Your Family Memories Deserve to Be Preserved

VHS and camcorder tapes are magnetic media. They wear out, lose signal over time, and the machines that play them are getting harder to find. Printed photographs and slides can also be affected by handling and storage conditions.

Digitizing your old media makes it easier to access your recordings and photographs on modern devices, create backups and share meaningful moments with family and friends.

Preserve

Convert supported tapes and photos into digital files before age-related deterioration or playback problems make access more difficult.

Share

Make it easier to share family celebrations, childhood memories and special occasions with relatives near and far.

Give

Access digitized memories on compatible modern devices, without needing to rely on the original tape format. Ready to give on a USB drive.
