How To Determine Film Reel Sizes

*An Important Note About MP4 Files & USB Flash Drives
We highly recommend backing up your MP4 files directly to your computer or to a cloud service of your choice upon receiving your completed order. Over time, flash drives can become corrupt for any number of reasons, making it impossible to read the data that is stored on them. We keep all digital files on our system for up to 30 days after your order has been completed if extra copies are needed.
How It Works
Send
Complete your order online or print our order form. Pack your box with your media and ship it to us. Not comfortable shipping? No problem! You can drop your media off in person at our lab in Atlanta.
Convert
We will contact you once your order has arrived safely at our facility. Your memories are all then digitized at our lab here in Atlanta, GA by our skilled technicians.
Enjoy
In an average time of 7 business days, your newly digitized memories are ready to be shipped back out to you, or ready to be picked up at our lab, for you and your family to enjoy.
What Our Customers Say
Why Use A Professional 16mm Film Transfer Service?
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know how much film I have?
If you are unsure of how much film you have, we have created a simple guide sheet for you. Please click the link below and follow the instructions on how to estimate your film footage.
Are my film reels returned?
Yes. All reels will be returned with your completed film transfer order. Small 50ft reels will be returned empty, having been spliced onto our larger, archival 400ft reels.
Can my reels be transferred in order?
We are able to transfer your reels in the order you specify but with one important guideline to follow: We cannot mix different film types. For example, we are unable to convert Super 8 reels in the middle of Regular 8 reels, and vice versa. If you have numbered your reels in a way that different film types are mixed in together, we cannot guarantee that the individual order of reels will be kept.
What is the final resolution of my film transfer?
All film orders are standard definition transfers.
