Most orders are ready in 7–10 working days from the day Tapes To Digital receives your tapes, sooner on request depending on quantity. Tell us when you book if you need them by a particular date and we will say straight away whether we can meet it.

What do I get back?
Every conversion from Tapes To Digital comes back as an MP4 for watching and sharing. The archival master file for long-term keeping is available on request at the same price. You can take the files on a USB we supply, as a download, on a USB you bring us, or on an external hard drive on any order. DVD copies are £6 per disc. Your original tapes always come back.
Where can I drop my tapes off?
Tapes To Digital has four drop-off points in the UK: Brixton in south London, Watford in Hertfordshire, Southall in Ealing, west London, and Farnborough in Hampshire. They are by appointment rather than shopfronts, and the exact address arrives in your booking confirmation.
Can I post my tapes instead?
Yes. Tapes To Digital accepts tapes by post from anywhere in the UK at exactly the same per-tape price as a drop-off. Pack them so they cannot move inside the box, and we will return your originals along with your digital files.
Where are my tapes converted?
Everyday formats are converted on professional converters at the Tapes To Digital drop-off you used — Brixton, Watford, Southall or Farnborough. Rare and specialist formats are sent to Tapes To Digital's UK lab in Farnborough. Your tapes stay with us throughout and your originals are always returned.
What if a tape is blank, mouldy or will not play?
Tapes To Digital does not charge for a tape that turns out to be blank, or for a recording that cannot be recovered — you pay only for footage we actually get back. Mould cleaning and tape repair are from £13 per tape and we quote before starting. We cannot tell how long a tape runs until we play it, so we never quote a running time in advance.
Do you convert American (NTSC) tapes?
Yes. Tapes To Digital converts American NTSC tapes and French tapes for £7 per tape on top of the standard per-tape price. Three hours of footage are included per tape, and anything beyond that is £6 per extra hour.
Why choose Tapes To Digital?
