How it works

Pack your Digitize Kit with tapes, photos and discs

1 · Order your kit

Your Digitize Kit arrives as a crush-proof, water-resistant box with a Welcome Guide, a Customer Card and a free prepaid return label. Fill it with your tapes.

Tapes, photos and film reels converted to digital files

2 · We digitize it

We play every tape start to finish, repair and splice damaged ones, trim the blank stretches, and name each file from the label you wrote on the tape.

Watch your memories on any screen, from the cloud, a USB drive or DVD

3 · Enjoy it anywhere

Stream, share and download from the Cloud, or take a USB drive or a DVD set. Every original tape comes back to you.

Why digitize your tapes now

Tape does not last

Video tapes were never built to last forever. Most tapes start losing quality after about 25 years, and every year in a basement or attic takes more off. Digitizing stops the clock.

Nothing plays them any more

VCRs and camcorders have not been made in years, and the ones still working are wearing out. A digital copy plays on the devices you already own.

Share it with everyone

Once your tapes are digital you can text them, email them, or put them on the TV at Thanksgiving. Order extra thumb drives or disc sets as gifts.

Pick the kit that fits your pile

One item is one tape. Mix in reels, photos, slides and discs if you like — every 25 photos, slides or negatives counts as one item.

Common questions

Can you digitize PAL or SECAM tapes?

Yes. We handle all consumer VHS types — NTSC, PAL and SECAM — and S-VHS as well.

What if a tape is broken or damaged?

We repair it. Damaged tapes are spliced and mended before digitizing, and we trim the blank stretches so your digital copy is the footage and nothing else.

What if one of my tapes is blank?

We play every tape from beginning to end to be sure. If one turns out to be completely blank we tell you and you get a credit for the item.

Will you name the files?

Yes. Wherever a tape carries a label we use it as the file name, so a tape marked Christmas 2001 comes back as a file called Christmas 2001.

What quality will the video be?

We digitize to match what the tape actually holds — usually 480p for VHS, which is what it recorded. If you want more, Eclipse AI Enhancement restores color and detail and upscales as far as 1080p.

How long does it take?

Two to six weeks for standard processing, depending on the size of your order. Processing upgrades are available on the Customer Card in your kit.

Can I send other things in the same box?

Yes, mix and match freely. Film reels, photos, slides, negatives, audio cassettes and discs can all go in with your tapes — see everything we digitize.

Will my tapes be safe?

We have digitized over a million memories and never lost or damaged one, including in shipping. Your kit is crush-proof and water-resistant, tracked in both directions, and we email you at each stage.
