VHS to Digital Conversion Across the UK
Tapes To Digital's VHS to digital conversion is a physical service, not a file upload tool. You drop your tapes at one of four UK drop-off points — Brixton, Watford, Southall or Farnborough — or post them from anywhere in the UK at the same price. Every tape is played back on professional converters, and you get an MP4 for everyday viewing, with the archival AVI/MOV master for keeping on request at the same price. Files come on a USB we supply, as a download, on a USB you bring, or on an external hard drive. Your original tapes always come back.
Tell us what you have and we will confirm price and turnaround before you commit.
Do Asda, Boots or Max Spielmann still convert VHS?
Some high-street shops still take VHS tapes, but many send them away to be converted elsewhere. If you want a specialist, Tapes To Digital plays every tape on professional converters. We do a better job, and your originals always come back.
✓MP4 as standard, ready for your TV, laptop or phone
✓Archival AVI/MOV master on request, at the same price
✓Most orders ready in 7–10 working days
✓From £13 a tape, with no charge for blank tapes
Can you convert VHS without a VHS player?
Yes, that's exactly what we're for. You don't need a working video recorder, cables or anything else. Drop your tapes at one of our four UK drop-offs or post them in, and you get your videos back as files that play on the devices you already own, with your original tapes returned.
What you get back: MP4, USB or DVD
Every VHS tape comes back as an MP4 that plays on smart TVs, computers, tablets and phones. Ask for the archival AVI/MOV master and we'll supply it alongside your MP4 at the same price. Take your files on a USB we supply, as a download (from £7), on your own USB or on an external hard drive.
VHS to USB
The simplest way to watch your old tapes again. Plug the USB into a smart TV or computer and press play, no internet needed. Bring your own USB or hard drive if you prefer.
VHS to DVD
Add DVD copies for £6 per disc alongside your digital files. Long recordings are split across discs rather than squeezed to fit, so the picture quality stays intact. See our VHS to DVD page.
VHS-C tapes
VHS-C camcorder tapes cost the same as full-size VHS, with no extra charge, and count towards the same bulk rate. See our VHS-C tapes to digital page.
Drop off or post your VHS tapes
Book a drop-off at Brixton, Watford, Southall or Farnborough, or post your tapes from anywhere in the UK at the same per-tape price. All drop-offs are by appointment and the exact address arrives with your booking.
Not near one? See all UK drop-off locations or post your tapes to us.

How Long VHS to Digital Conversion Takes
Most VHS orders from Tapes To Digital are ready in 7–10 working days from the day we receive your tapes, and often sooner. Tell us when you book if you need them by a particular date and we'll say straight away whether we can meet it. If a tape needs cleaning or repair before it will play we contact you first, because that can add time. Your original tapes are always returned.
Preserve, Repair and Convert Your VHS Tapes
Tapes To Digital does four things with a VHS tape: transfers it, repairs it, cleans it and gives it back to you. Here is what that covers.
VHS to Digital Conversion
Tapes To Digital converts VHS and VHS-C tapes to MP4 for £13–£15 per tape. Ask for the archival AVI/MOV master and we'll supply it alongside your MP4 at the same price — no upgrade and no custom quote.
VHS Tape Repair and Mould Cleaning
Worn, snapped, tangled or mouldy tapes are cleaned and repaired from £13 per tape before transfer, and we always quote the cost before we start work.
Convert VHS to USB or DVD
Take your files on a USB we supply, as a download, on a USB you bring, or on an external hard drive. DVD copies are £6 per disc, with long recordings split across discs rather than compressed.
NTSC, French and Over-Length Tapes
American NTSC and French tapes are £7 per tape on top of the standard price. Three hours of footage are included per tape, then £6 per extra hour — and because a tape's length can only be known once it is played, that is confirmed after transfer, never before.

How You Get Your Converted VHS Files Back
Tapes To Digital delivers every VHS conversion in whichever of these suits you — and if you want more than one, just ask.
USB Drive or Hard Drive
A USB we supply, ready to plug into any computer or smart TV with no internet needed. You can also bring your own USB stick, or have your files put on an external hard drive on any order.
Download
A download link for your converted files, so you can save them straight onto your own computer or drive. Nothing to collect and nothing to wait for in the post.
Custom DVD
A DVD that plays in any DVD player, £6 per disc. A disc holds up to two hours, so a long recording is split across more than one disc rather than compressed to fit — the picture quality of the transfer stays intact.
Other Tapes and Film Tapes To Digital Converts
Sending more than VHS? A mixed order counts together towards the same per-tape discount, so VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8, Betamax, DVDs and audio cassettes can all go in together.

Mould, Damage and Tapes That Won't Play
A cracked shell, tangled tape or mould growth usually doesn't stop a transfer. Tapes To Digital cleans and repairs tapes from £13 each, quoted before any work starts, so a tape you assumed was lost is often still recoverable.
