How Our Digitizing Process Works
Our Simple 5-Step Process
You don’t need to organize everything perfectly or know the format names. Just bring what you have.
STEP #1 Contact Brenda for a Free Estimate
Call, text, email, or use the online form. We'll identify it and walk you through your options.
STEP #2 Drop Off Your Media Locally
Bring your tapes, reels, or photos to our Winchester, CA location. Your memories stay local, not in a warehouse two states away.
- Local drop-off in Winchester, CA
- Meetup options available when needed
STEP #3 Receive a Written Estimate
Before anything begins, you get a written estimate: item count, cost, turnaround time, and delivery method. No surprises. No pressure.
STEP #4 Real-Time Digitizing & Transfer
Your media is processed in real time not bulk-batched through an automated system. Each tape, reel, and slide gets careful, hands-on attention.
- Clean, organized file naming
- Best possible quality based on original condition
- Blank footage removed when possible (free of charge)
STEP #5 Delivery
Choose your delivery method. We'll coordinate pickup, drop-off, or ship a USB/hard drive. Your files are also securely stored for up to 5 years.
- USB flash drive
- External hard drive
- Cloud download link
- Local pickup or meetup available
