CONVERT YOUR VHS TO DIGITAL
Have you uncovered a box of old VHS tapes packed with unforgettable family moments, school plays, home movies, or nostalgic blasts from the past? If you’ve been meaning to preserve those priceless memories, now’s the perfect time to convert them to digital before time takes its toll.
VHS tapes degrade over time, especially if they’ve been sitting on a shelf since the ’80s or ’90s. Colours fade, tracking issues creep in, and eventually, you’re left with a fuzzy, unwatchable mess. Digitising your tapes today ensures your stories are saved in a format that won’t wear out. A VHS to digital conversion is the safest way to preserve these memories for generations to come.
We use high-grade capture hardware and professional software to convert your VHS to digital with excellent clarity. Our process doesn’t just play and record—we enhance the footage by stabilising video, improving playback quality, and minimising common issues like flickering or dropouts.
This is the same process we trust for our super8 videography archiving, so you know your precious footage is in experienced hands.
Once your VHS to digital conversion is complete, your videos are delivered as high-quality MPEG4 (H.264) files—perfect for viewing on any PC or Mac. You can easily share them online, back them up, or relive the moments on your smart TV.
Getting started is simple—just choose your preferred transfer option below, send in your tapes, and we’ll handle the rest. It’s never been easier to bring your VHS memories back to life with a modern digital twist.
