Amazing, beyond expectations
August 21, 2024

I was hesitant to send my grandparents' films and slides but this was absolutely worth it! They loved watching these on their ipad instead of having to set up a projector to relive these memories.

Effortless, I am happy I did this!
August 21, 2024

Seamless. No issues, you did what you said you would do and I am happy with the results. I am not tech savvy so I am glad I had my daughter here to help figure the ability to watch on the TV.

Precious memories
August 21, 2024

The slides I submitted for transfer were about 50 years old. Most of them came out alright. I was very lucky they came out at all.
Thank
You!

Good but not great
August 21, 2024

- I sent a vhs and for some reason they only upload it in separate segments on the site to download. That's great but could you also upload the whole vhs as one download.
-I don't want the items to be just digitized could you also enhance/edit it so it looks better.
-When you return anything that needs rewinding, please rewind it.

Hi Stephen, Thanks for you feedback. When we do the digital conversion videotapes will be separated into scenes. Our editors use location changes, time stamps and camera stops/starts to create these scenes. Based on customer feedback, our customers prefer this option to having one continuous video. We can however remove that option for customers that do want one video. Our Editors do go through each tape from beginning to end to review and research any issues they see. We can often help reduce tracking (gray lines through the picture), audio issues and some other quality problems. We do not however do any restoration services or digitally change the original videos. We specialize in creating a digital copy of old home movie films, videotapes, photos, slides, and negatives so they can be viewed again with today's technology.

Excellent service!
August 21, 2024

I recently converted all our childhood videos to digital format and I'm so happy about the results. Not only are they easy to access now, but it seems the quality is much better than the original tapes. Thank you for giving us back so many amazing memories!

Old Videos
August 20, 2024

My parents took many reels of old video from 1950s and 1960s, so I decided to send one, I know there was some missing but it was good to see family that is alive and dead and show my kids and relive some of those family outings.

I sent my IMemories my slide collection. They posted them online and they will be putting them on a thumb drive for me as well for an additional cost. I did the slides as a test and I'm very pleased. Will be sending in several more orders of photos and will do the same.

Love my digital memories
August 20, 2024

More expensive than I wanted, but price decreased with time. Didn't want materials back but they required returning them. Didn't realize I'd have to pay a monthly subscription to keep viewing the videos on their site, but appreciated that I was able to download them to my computer.

Saving options.
August 20, 2024

I would have liked the option to also put all the digital assets on a hard drive vs. now having to download them all or pay for your services.

Also, in the steps to send in items you should say to take a pic of the package label so you can track your shipment. I forgot and was stressing if the box got lost or was not received. Should be part of your checklist.

Hi Christine, Thanks for your feedback. You can certainly purchase a USB drive if you prefer. Downloading your memories is one of the four options customers have to save their memories. You can also purchase customized DVDs/USBdrives(s) and/or keep your online access with a cloud storage subscription for $7.99/month or $49.99/year.
