"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 Don’t transfer your memories to a format that’s already outdated...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!
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 reel to a digital MP4 video file you can download and play on any device. The video is preserved in 480p Standard Definition (720x480), the same resolution used by YouTube, Netflix, and other popular streaming services. Because film was recorded in a 4:3 aspect ratio, your video will maintain that classic format.
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!
