About Us
We help people
keep their stories.
Digital Converters started in a bedroom with a single VHS player and a stack of cables. Our founders felt that the existing services provided fell short of what they should be. Today, we run one of the busiest media-digitising services in the UK – converting over 300,000 hours of recordings every year – helping families, filmmakers, archivists and organisations bring old recordings back to life.
Today, we are a team of 10 people operating from a dedicated 3,000 sqft production facility in North Yorkshire. We handle thousands of tapes, films and photos each week; everything from fragile cine reels from the 1920s to HDCAM tapes made in 2015.
The story so far.
A team that knows these formats inside out.
With operations running for a decade, we've pretty much encounted every type of media format and the issues that can arise from them.
The majority of our team have been working with us for years, because when they joined they genuinely found pride and joy in providing this service.
We’ve now digitised material for well over 100,000 customers across Britain and beyond – and we’re still growing.
Why do we have 10,000 five-star reviews?.
It’s simple – trust. People trust us because we’re obsessive about quality. Every tape and reel is checked by hand, and every transfer is monitored by the same engineers who run our professional-grade equipment day in, day out.
We’ve built systems to keep media safe and traceable at each step, and our process is constantly refined to handle ageing formats without damaging them.
It’s a big responsibility to have people trust their priceless moments in our hands, but it’s one we’re proud to take on. This is why, across the company, the mantra is the same:
“Treat every recording as if it’s the only copy in existence.”
Who we work with
Trusted by families – and a few famous faces.
Along the way, we’ve worked with museums, schools, production companies and national institutions. Family history societies send us their archives. Independent filmmakers use our transfers for restoration and editing. We've even worked with household names, although we can't share who!
However, our bread and butter is still working for families – converting boxes of tapes sent in by grandparents who simply want to watch the kids take their first steps again.
We keep things simple.
Clear pricing
No surprises – you know what it costs before you commit.
Fast turnaround
Your memories come back to you quickly and safely.
Real humans on the phone
Speak to people who actually do the work, not a call centre.
Honest help
Not sure what formats you’ve got in the loft? We’ll happily guide you.
We’re ready when you are.
Whether it’s a wedding from the 1980s or a school play on MiniDV, we make sure you can watch it again on the devices you use today – forever. Tens of thousands have trusted us already.
