How digitisation works

Choose your tape count and any extras. Send us the tapes, then download the finished videos from your account.

  1. Choose a quantity and extras

    Choose a starting quantity. You can change it before paying. Picture and audio restoration and tape returns are separate options.

  2. Pack and send your tapes

    You receive sending instructions by email. Pack the tapes securely and use the drop-off point specified in the instructions.

  3. We digitize your tapes

    Each tape is saved as a separate video. You can follow each tape’s progress in your account.

  4. Watch and download your videos

    Watch the finished videos in your browser or download the MP4 files at no extra charge. Save your own copies too.

What happens to the original tapes?

We return your tapes if you choose a return. Otherwise, we keep them for 30 days after your videos are ready. You can still order a return from your account during that time. After that, the tapes are recycled. Returns are free from 10 tapes.

Which tapes do we digitise?

Identify your tapes by their name and size. You can send different formats in one order. Pricing is based on the total number of tapes.

Frequently asked questions

We count the tapes when they arrive. If the quantity differs from your order, we tell you about the price difference before any additional charge.

Each tape becomes a separate video in your account. Watch in your browser or download an MP4 file that works on phones, computers and TVs. Downloads are free.

Completion time depends on the number, length and condition of your tapes. You can follow each tape’s status in your account.

30 days from when each video is ready. Download your videos to your computer or cloud storage during that time.

Yes, if you choose a return when ordering. It costs €9.90, and is free from 10 tapes. Without a return, we keep your tapes for 30 days after your videos are ready. You can still order a return from your account during that time.

Tell us about any damage before sending the tape. We assess whether it can be digitised and agree any additional work with you before starting.

Your videos are in your account behind a login. Service staff handle them for digitisation and quality checks.

The price includes up to 4 hours per tape. Longer tapes cost an extra €8.00, and we ask you before charging.

Picture and audio restoration if you need it

Basic digitization captures your tape as it is, without adding anything. If the picture is grainy or the audio hisses, you can buy restoration later from your account. First, you see a preview of your own video.

Picture restoration€6.90 / tape
We remove interlacing, reduce noise, correct colours and crop out the interference band along the bottom.
Audio cleanup€3.90 / tape
We reduce tape hiss and electrical hum, and even out the volume.
AI upscaling to HD€1.90 / min
Your chosen scenes are upscaled to HD. AI can change facial details, so you see a preview before buying.

The sample uses freely available home movies from the Manitoba Home Movie Archive (archive.org). Tape defects were added digitally, and the restored version was made from that damaged copy. The sample audio is synthetic. Results on a real tape depend on its condition.
