Tape Transfers
Priced by the tape and its running length
VHS, camcorder tapes, and similar formats are quoted according to the amount of footage and the tape type.
Pricing
Pricing depends on format and length.
We quote by tape, reel, or image count. Cost depends on the media type, running length, and any extra work needed.
How We Quote
Three common job types
Reel Transfers
Priced by the reel and footage length
8mm and Super 8 jobs depend on reel size, footage length, and the number of reels.
Slides and Photo Projects

The final copy can be simple and easy to use

Common Questions
Common pricing questions
Can I get a quote before leaving the media?
We can go over the pricing when you bring the media to the booth.
What if a tape has problems?
If a transfer needs more work or has issues that affect the price, we contact you first before moving forward.
Why is pricing not one flat number?
Old media varies too much by length, condition, and format for one flat rate to be accurate.
Is there any risk with older media?
Yes. Like any conversion service, there is always a small chance of damage with older tapes and reels.
