How does a drop-off work?
Book a time, hand over your tapes, and collect your files and originals 7–10 working days later. Book online or message us on WhatsApp. The exact address arrives in your booking confirmation — every Tapes To Digital drop-off is by appointment, not a shopfront. Hand over your tapes and you get a receipt listing every one.
Everyday formats — VHS, VHS-C, MiniDV, Video 8, Hi8, Digital 8, Betamax and audio cassettes — are converted on professional converters at the drop-off you used. Rare and specialist formats go to Tapes To Digital's UK lab in Farnborough. Your original tapes always come back, and there is no charge for a blank tape or anything we can't recover.
Every conversion comes back as an MP4, with the archival master on request at the same price. See the full VHS to digital prices, or read more about our VHS to digital service and every other video tape format.

Your original tapes are always returned, and you are never charged for a blank tape or anything we can't recover.
