Preserve Your 8mm Memories Before They're Lost Forever

8mm film fades with time, heat, and moisture. A single accident can erase years of memories. Heirloom converts 8mm film and Super8 to high-quality digital files—no hassle, no stress. Preserve your priceless moments today!

"8mm to DVD" is a Mistake

Plastic discs are just another form of obsolete & fragile media. DVDs easily scratch, become unreadable, and are no longer used on modern computers. Don’t transfer your memories to a format that’s already outdated... future-proof 8mm video on Heirloom’s secure cloud!

8mm Film to Digital Preserved on the Cloud

Cloud Preservation

Heirloom labels your 8mm reels with matching digital filenames for easy organization. Add searchable descriptions and stream your videos from your secure Heirloom account, anytime. With multiple data center backups, your memories stay safe from fire, floods, and life’s uncertainties.

Convert 8mm Film to MP4 Video

Heirloom converts each 8mm film to a digital MP4 video file that is downloadable to play on any device. Because 8mm film has limited signal, your digital video will be converted to 480p, or Standard Definition (SD). This 720x480 resolution is used by YouTube, Netflix, and other popular streaming services.

8mm Film Repair

Heirloom offers free repair of your old home movies! Our experts fix broken film, often replacing many splices in a single reel. While most repairs succeed, we can't guarantee recovery of every frame, especially films degraded with "Vinegar Syndrome".

Editing Your Video

Heirloom digitizes your 8mm films in real-time for the highest-quality 1-to-1 capture. The final result reflects the original lighting, focus, and camera work. We don’t alter or edit your footage—giving you full creative freedom for any post-capture processing.

Free Cost Estimate

8mm film to digital conversion starts at only $19.99 per reel. Heirloom rescues memories from any media format, so feel free to send us everything you'd like preserved. No hidden fees—use our digitizing calculator to get a total cost estimate!
