VHS to Digital Service
Description
Heirloom's VHS to digital service makes it easy to preserve your family's priceless home movies before they're lost to time. Whether you're sending VHS tapes, photographs, film reels, audio recordings, or other media, simply send everything together. Our preservation specialists carefully inspect every item, identify exactly what you've sent, classify each VHS tape as either Standard VHS or Damaged VHS, and prepare a detailed, itemized quote.
There is no counting, no guesswork, and no obligation. You don't pay anything until we've completed our inspection and you've approved the quote.
Why Use a VHS to Digital Service?
Your memories are irreplaceable, but VHS tapes weren't designed to last forever. Over time, magnetic tape deteriorates, mold can develop, playback equipment becomes harder to find, and every viewing increases the risk of permanent damage. A professional VHS to digital service preserves your home movies in a modern digital format that can be streamed, downloaded, and shared with future generations—before time permanently takes that opportunity away.
Why Choose Heirloom?
Most digitization companies expect you to figure everything out before you send your memories.
Heirloom doesn't.
Simply send your media, and our specialists will:
- Identify every type of media you send
- Inventory each individual item
- Separate Standard VHS from Damaged VHS
- Recommend the appropriate digitization for every item
- Prepare a detailed, itemized quote
- Answer any questions before work begins
Only after you've reviewed and approved your quote do we begin digitizing your memories. That means no surprises, no unnecessary charges, and complete confidence that your family's memories are receiving the care they deserve.
What if my VHS tape is moldy or broken?
Basic repairs are included at no extra cost, even for moldy or broken VHS tapes. Heirloom specialists clean, repair, and carefully attempt playback to recover as much content as possible. If a tape cannot be digitized, you’re never charged for it.
Am I charged for tapes that are actually blank?
If a VHS tape is proven to be completely blank, even after extended playback attempts, it is automatically credited back. You only pay for tapes that actually contain recoverable memories. No guessing, no wasted charges.
Can I ship VHS tapes with other media?
Yes, absolutely. You can send VHS tapes together with other video tapes, photos, film reels, audio, and more in the same box. Heirloom specialists identify and quote each item by type after everything arrives.
Does Heirloom enhance or AI-restore my videos?
Heirloom focuses on creating the highest-quality 1-to-1 digital capture of your original VHS tape. This gives you a clean, accurate master file. From there, you’re free to apply enhancements using many free or low-cost AI video tools based on your personal preferences.
