What I digitize, and what you get back

Video tapes to MP4

Tapes, captured before they degrade

Magnetic tape loses quality every year it sits in a closet. Each tape is captured in real time to a clean MP4 file that plays on a phone, computer, or TV.

Flat rate per tape, any length. A three-hour tape costs the same as a thirty-minute one. Bulk discounts on larger collections.

Photos to high-res scans

Prints scanned at the resolution you need

Loose prints, album pages, and stacks from the closet, scanned cleanly and sorted into folders that make sense. Standard resolution to preserve and share, or high resolution to reprint and enlarge.

Every order includes an index sheet of thumbnails, so any single image is easy to find even across thousands of scans.

Resolution options

300 dpi · Standard For viewing, sharing, and backing up. Right for most photo boxes.
600 dpi · High-res For reprinting, enlarging, or framing. Captures fine detail in older prints.

Included with every order

  • High-quality scans, lightly cleaned up
  • Index sheet of all thumbnails
  • Sorted into named folders
  • Original photos returned
