"VHS to DVD" is a Mistake

Plastic discs are just another form of obsolete & fragile media. DVDs easily scratch, suffer from "disc rot", and are no longer used on modern computers. Don’t transfer your memories to a format that’s already outdated... future-proof your VHS memories on Heirloom’s secure cloud!

Cloud Preservation

Heirloom labels your VHS 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 to MP4 Video

Heirloom converts each VHS 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 Tape Repair

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.

Credit for Blank VHS Tapes

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.

NTSC, PAL, and SECAM

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, wherever they were originally recorded. Choose VHS-C conversion if you have the compact tapes.

Free Cost Estimate

After credit for any blank tapes, VHS to digital conversion is just $23.99 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!
