Three shoeboxes from my mum's loft. Shipped Tuesday. By the next weekend the whole family was on the sofa, crying and laughing at footage we hadn't seen in thirty years.

— David, 54

★★★★★

My grandchildren in Sydney can finally see their grandfather's wedding speech. The link took thirty seconds to send. The reactions took my breath away.

Questions we hear a lot.

VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Video8, Digital8, MiniDV, and Betamax. If you have something unusual, just email us a photo and we'll let you know.
Tapes travel in our padded shipping kits with bubble pouches and tracked post. Damage is rare. If anything happens in our care, we cover repair or replacement up to £250 per tape.
From the day your tapes arrive at our studio, most families see their first videos in their library within 7–10 days. Larger batches take a little longer.
Only briefly to colour-correct and check audio levels. We don't keep copies, we don't share clips, and we never use footage to train anything.
Anytime, from your account page or by email. No phone calls, no scripts, no guilt.
Everything you've digitised stays yours. We give you 90 days to download original files in full quality. After that, we delete from our servers — your originals are already home with you.
