Convert 8mm Tape to Digital Now
Video8 tapes weren’t made to last. With time, your Hi8 tapes degrade, the magnetic film weakens, and playback becomes impossible. The longer you wait, the more memories are lost. Heirloom makes it simple to convert 8mm tape to digital so you can rescue your memories before it's too late.
Free Tape Repair
Mold on 8mm tapes is common, but most companies charge extra or reject them entirely. Heirloom includes all tape repairs—even cleaning moldy Hi8 tapes. No surprises. Just clean, recovered memories.
Credit for Blank 8mm Tapes
Think you might have a few blank Hi8 tapes? No problem. We’ll credit your order so you only pay for the tapes that actually get digitized. Heirloom’s 8mm tape conversion pricing is always fair, and always transparent.
Stream, Share, or Download
In less than two weeks, your digitized video will be ready to stream from your Heirloom digital vault. Share your memories with unlimited people or download portable files to keep offline. Unlike 8mm to DVD, which can rot or get scratched, our redundant cloud storage ensures your video memories will never go bad.
Why 8mm to DVD Isn't Enough
8mm to DVD was once the gold standard—but DVDs degrade too. They scratch, rot, and can’t be streamed or shared easily. Heirloom gives you a modern solution: beautiful digital videos you can stream, share, or download anytime, from anywhere, on any device.
Drop Off at Any UPS Store
To transfer Hi8 to digital, just drop off your box of 8mm 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.
