VHS tapes degrade over time with heat, moisture, and use. Worse, videos are forever lost to fires, floods, and life’s unpredictability. Convert VHS to high-quality digital files with Heirloom and protect your memories for generations.
Plastic discs are just another form of obsolete & fragile media. DVDs easily scratch, become unreadable over time, and can no longer be used on modern computers. Don’t transfer your memories to a format that’s already outdated... future-proof VHS memories on Heirloom’s secure cloud!
Heirloom labels your VHS tapes with matching digital filenames for easy organization. Add searchable descriptions and stream your videos anytime from your secure Heirloom account. With multiple data center backups, your memories stay safe from fire, floods, and life’s uncertainties.
Heirloom converts each VHS tape to a digital MP4 video file that is downloadable to play on any device. Because VHS tape was limited to 480 lines of 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.
Heirloom offers free tape repair! Our experts fix moldy or broken tapes, often replacing faulty VHS cassette cartridges at no cost. 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 VHS 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 tape we encounter.
Heirloom converts VHS tapes 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.
