What Tapes To Digital does, and how we got here
Tapes To Digital started in 2018 with a simple realisation: the irreplaceable moments of our lives were sitting on fragile, obsolete formats — VHS tapes, 8mm film, audio cassettes — quietly deteriorating in lofts and cupboards.
Since then we've converted tapes for families, councils, charities and broadcasters across the UK. Everyday formats are converted on professional converters at the drop-off you used; rarer and specialist formats go to Tapes To Digital's UK lab in Farnborough, Hampshire, where the equipment for them is kept. Either way your tapes stay with us from start to finish, and your originals always come back to you.
Every conversion includes an MP4 and an archival master file at the same price, and we don't charge for blank tapes or for anything that can't be recovered. Our mission is simple: to help you hold onto what matters most.
Tapes To Digital is a trading name of TAPE CONVERSIONS PVT LIMITED, registered in England and Wales, company number 11450392.

Who we are — the Tapes To Digital team
Tapes To Digital is a team of video and audio technicians working across four by-appointment drop-off points in the UK: Brixton in south London, Watford in Hertfordshire, Southall in Ealing, and Farnborough in Hampshire.
The drop-offs are by appointment rather than shopfronts, which is how we keep the per-tape price where it is. Book a time and the exact address arrives in your booking confirmation. Everyday formats are converted on professional converters at the drop-off you used; rarer and specialist formats go to Tapes To Digital's UK lab in Farnborough, where the equipment for them is kept.
What started in 2018 as a small venture rescuing old VHS tapes has grown into a media conversion company serving families, councils and charities across the UK — and if you're nowhere near a drop-off, you can post your tapes in from anywhere in the UK at exactly the same price.
From day one the mission was clear: to help people relive their cherished memories in digital formats that will outlast the tape.
Growing with the formats — film, audio, photos and slides
As Tapes To Digital's reputation for quality and care grew, so did what customers asked for: 8mm and Super 8 cine film, audio cassettes, then photos, negatives and slides. We took each one on, adding the professional converters and the expertise each format needs.
Over the years we've built a team that understands the quirks of each medium — from the flicker of old cine film to the crackle of vintage audio tape. Every item that comes to Tapes To Digital is treated with care, and every conversion includes an MP4 and an archival master file at the same price.
