Frequently Asked Questions
What can I send to get digitized?
We can digitize nearly all media types including VHS, Hi8, Betamax, 8mm and 16mm film, photos, slides, negatives, CDs & DVDs, and more. For a full list of what we can digitize, visit What We Digitize.
How long does it take?
Nobody digitizes faster than us. Standard processing is included for free and can take approximately 2-8 weeks to completely finish your order. However, we do offer expedited processing options that allow you to have your order completed in as little as 3 days, which you can select after you receive your Digitize Kit.
What if I have a tape that is broken or needs repair?
If a tape is damaged or broken, we will repair the tape and perform any splices necessary at no additional cost. We also digitally trim any blank areas of the tape so the digitized copy will just be the actual content.
Will you name & organize the files?
Yes! This is something that only we do. Whenever possible, we will take whatever labels you have on the tapes and apply that name to digitized file. So if you have a tape labeled Christmas 2001, its digitized file will have that same file name.
I'm nervous about sending my memories. What safeguards do you take to keep my memories safe?
Excellent question! We take a number of measures to make sure your memories are safe and secure from the moment they leave your possession until you receive them back from us. This includes using a special priority shipping service, an advanced internal tracking system, and more. So far, we have digitized over 1 million memories and have never lost or damaged a single one. Not one! To learn more about the safeguards we take, read this article.
