8mm & Super 8 Film to Digital Conversion UK

Tapes To Digital prices 8mm and Super 8 film by reel diameter, not per tape: £19 for a 3-inch reel, £24 for a 4-inch reel, £33 for a 5-inch reel, £45 for a 7-inch reel, £58 for an 8-inch reel and £68 for a 9-inch reel. The price is the same whether you drop your film off or post it in, and there is no charge for blank film or for anything that cannot be recovered.

Tapes To Digital accepts six reel diameters: 3-inch, 4-inch, 5-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch and 9-inch. Measure straight across the face of the reel to find yours. If you are not sure, send Tapes To Digital a photo of the reel on WhatsApp and we will tell you which size it is and what it will cost.

Standard 8, also called Regular 8, was the home movie format from the 1930s until the mid-1960s. Super 8 replaced it from 1965 and has a larger frame area and smaller sprocket holes, so it usually scans sharper. Tapes To Digital converts both, along with 8mm reels generally, at the same price for a given reel diameter.

Most orders at Tapes To Digital are ready in 7–10 working days from the day we receive your film, and often sooner. If you need your film by a particular date, say so when you book and Tapes To Digital will tell you straight away whether we can meet it.

Every 8mm and Super 8 conversion at Tapes To Digital includes an MP4 that plays on any modern device and an archival master file, both at the same price. You can take your files on a USB Tapes To Digital supplies, as a download, on a USB you bring in, or on an external hard drive, which is available on any order.

Yes. You can post your reels to Tapes To Digital from anywhere in the UK at the same price as dropping them off in Brixton, Watford, Southall or Farnborough, and your original reels are always returned to you.

Tapes To Digital assesses every reel before the transfer begins, and flags brittle splices, mould and colour fade so you know what to expect before any work starts. There is no charge for blank film or for anything that cannot be recovered — you pay only for footage Tapes To Digital actually transfers.

Everyday formats are converted on professional converters at the Tapes To Digital drop-off you used. Rare and specialist formats are sent to Tapes To Digital's UK lab in Farnborough, Hampshire, where the equipment for them is kept. Your film stays with Tapes To Digital throughout and your original reels are always returned.

Tapes To Digital has four UK drop-off points: Brixton in London, Watford in Hertfordshire, Southall in Ealing and Farnborough in Hampshire. Each is by appointment rather than a shopfront, and the exact address arrives in your booking confirmation. If none is close, post your film to Tapes To Digital from anywhere in the UK at the same price.
