Videotapes fade with time, heat, and moisture. A single accident can erase years of memories. Heirloom converts professional grade tapes to high-quality digital files—no hassle, no stress. Preserve your priceless moments today!
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 Don’t transfer your memories to a format that’s already outdated...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 videotape content on Heirloom’s secure cloud!
Heirloom labels your videotapes 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.
Heirloom converts each videotape to a digital MP4 video file that is downloadable to play on any device. Because videotape has limited signal, your digital video will be converted to 720p, or High Definition (HD). This 1280x720 resolution is used by YouTube, Netflix, and other popular streaming services.
Heirloom offers free tape repair! Our experts fix moldy or broken tapes, often replacing a faulty cassette. While many repairs succeed, we can't guarantee recovery for all tapes, especially those with "Sticky Shed" syndrome.
Heirloom charges a unit price for each videotape received in your order. After hours of playing your cassettes, we may discover that some of your tapes are completely blank. It's our policy to issue you a transferable credit, on an Heirloom digital gift card that never expires, for each blank videotape we encounter.
Heirloom converts videotapes from all formats, not just the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) standard used in North America. We also digitize tapes in Phase Alternate Line (PAL) and Sequential Color with Memory (SECAM) formats, preserving your memories no matter where they were recorded.
After credit for any blank tapes, videotape to digital conversion starts at only $29.99 per tape, regardless of length. Heirloom rescues memories from any media format, so feel free to send everything. No hidden fees—use our digitizing calculator to get a total cost estimate!
