Why Convert Your Film Now?
Old film doesn’t improve with age. Over time, film can fade, become brittle, shrink, curl, or suffer physical damage. Digitizing your reels now helps preserve the memories they contain while your film is still in the best condition possible.
What’s at Stake

Aging film can become brittle, shrink, curl, or suffer physical deterioration.
Image Quality
Color, contrast, and image quality can change as film ages.
Original Film Reels

βββββ Rated 4.9/5 from 250+ Google Reviews
Envision did a fabulous job digitizing our family movies. Some of the 8mm reels were in an attic for 60 years, but now that they’re digitized we can easily share them with family.
Meredith H.
EVS recovered about 70% of our family’s 8 & 16mm film from the 1940s that had been rejected by other services for being too brittle & degraded. A+ for communication, timeliness and cost. Without EVS, these family memories would have been lost forever!

Absolutely priceless video memories converted from 16mm to DVD, and with really nice music added in background. They did an excellent job and I would highly, highly, highly recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Film Transfer
What types of film can you convert to digital?
Envision Video Services professionally converts 8mm, Super 8, 16mm, and 9.5mm film to digital. Whether you have old family home movies, archival footage, or other film reels, we can digitize your films so theyβre easier to watch, share, and preserve.
What digital formats do you offer for film conversion?
We can transfer your film to digital video files, USB drives, external hard drives, digital download, DVD, or Blu-ray, depending on how you would like to watch and preserve your movies. Digital files are ideal for viewing, sharing, making additional copies, and backing up your memories for the future.
How much does it cost to convert film to digital?
The cost of film transfer depends primarily on the film format and the amount of film on your reels. Because collections can vary considerably in reel size and length, pricing is based on the film you bring or send to us. Contact Envision Video Services or bring your reels to our Hasbrouck Heights, NJ studio and we can help determine the best transfer option for your collection.
How do you ensure the quality of the film transfer?
We professionally digitize film frame by frame using specialized film transfer equipment, with careful attention to image detail, color, exposure, and overall picture quality. Each reel is also carefully handled throughout the process to help protect your original film while capturing the best digital result possible from its current condition.
How long does film to digital conversion take?
Our typical turnaround time for film transfer is approximately 2β3 weeks, although timing can vary depending on the size and condition of your film collection and our current workload. Rush service is also available when you need your film transferred sooner. Contact us if you have a specific deadline.
Can you convert film that is damaged or very old?
Yes. We can often transfer very old, brittle, or deteriorated film, although what can be recovered depends on the condition of the original reel. We carefully evaluate older or damaged film before and during the transfer process and handle it with appropriate care. If youβre concerned about the condition of your film, bring it to our New Jersey studio and we can take a look before proceeding.
Optional color correction is also available for film that has experienced color shifts or fading over time.
Do you return my original film reels after digitizing?
Yes. Your original film reels are returned to you after the transfer is complete. We understand that these films are often irreplaceable family keepsakes, so they are carefully handled throughout the digitization process and returned along with your completed digital transfer.
