VHS to digital video transfer in Spokane
Your family's home videos are stored on magnetic tape, and tape does not last forever. We transfer your VHS tapes to digital files so birthdays, weddings, holidays, and everyday moments are saved and easy to share.
Why digitize VHS tapes now
VHS tapes are made of magnetic tape that can stretch, shed, mold, and lose picture and sound quality over time. Every time a tape is played, it wears a little more. The machines that play them are also getting harder to find and keep working.
Transferring your tapes to digital files preserves what is on them today and lets you watch them on any phone, tablet, computer, or TV.

Can you make a video from my old tapes?
