Convert VHS-C to digital with easy UPS Store drop-off, free repairs, and credit for blanks. Stream, share, or download from your secure digital vault.
Convert VHS-C to Digital Now
Compact VHS tapes weren’t made to last. With time, your VHS-C tape degrades, the magnetic film weakens, and playback becomes impossible. The longer you wait, the more moments are lost forever. Heirloom makes it simple to convert VHS-C to digital so you can rescue your memories before it's too late.
"VHS 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 Don’t transfer your memories to a format that’s already outdated...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 VHS-C memories on Heirloom’s secure cloud!
Stream, Share, or Download
Heirloom labels your VHS-C tapes 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 VHS-C to MP4 Video
Heirloom converts each VHS-C tape 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 VHS was recorded in a 4:3 aspect ratio, your video will maintain that classic format.
VHS-C Tape Repair
Heirloom offers free tape repair! Our experts fix moldy or broken tapes, often removing VHS-C tapes stuck in the adapter. While many repairs succeed, we can't guarantee recovery for all tapes, especially those with "Sticky Shed" syndrome.
Credit for Blank VHS-C Tapes
Heirloom charges a unit price for each VHS-C tape received in your order. After hours of playing your cassettes, we may discover that some of your tapes are completely blank! It's Heirloom policy to issue you a transferable credit, on an Heirloom digital gift card that never expires, for each blank VHS-C tape we encounter.
Drop Off at Any UPS Store
To transfer VHS-C to digital, just drop off your box of tapes at any UPS Store. Heirloom provides round-trip UPS shipping, transparent pricing, and order completion within two weeks.
What Happens After We Receive Your Tapes?
On the day your shipment arrives at Heirloom, you’ll receive an email with a detailed, itemized invoice. We’ll sort it all and show exactly what you sent. You only pay for what you want digitized—no hidden fees.
