Among the movies that LegacyBox has digitized for me and my children and grandchildren was a home movie from the 1930s that was bright and clear. It showed my great-grandmother, born at the beginning of the Civil War, smiling, walking and waving. What a treasure! What a legacy!
I believe my tapes were saved just in time. They were deteriorating.The longer you wait, the worse they get.
We are happy to be able to review much of our family history on video tapes digitally. We are collecting old photos se we can also share those digitally.
Great customer service.
Updates throughout the process.
Much better packaged returned to me
Than I did myself sending out!
When they returned the film their packaging was terrible. They do not edit to help the quality.

Had some old family VHS tapes that I haven't seen in a long time. It was great to relive those memories. Everything was first class! I highly recommend their service!
My experience was wonderful. Couldn't have been easier. The entire process took less than 3 weeks. 3 VHS tapes converted to 3 DVDs. Amazing to see old 8mm family memories. Brought tears to my eyes to see parents and other family who have been gone for so long.
Highly recommend. Great value.
Thanks for your feedback! We are so happy to hear that you had such a seamless experience with us. We aim to deliver an effortless process to take the worry out of preserving your precious memories! We hope you enjoy sharing those memories with your family for years to come.
We sent in reel to reel tapes 50 years old not expecting much and if anything scratchy and staticky. We got just the opposite back. I think the results were clearer than what was actually recorded. We couldn't be more pleased with the result and the turn around was very fast. They claim 4 to 8 weeks but we got it back within 2 weeks. My 89 year old mother-in-law heard her late husband singing and playing the guitar the first time since his death. Her eyes shined! I recommend this company to anyone with memories to restore from tape.
This was the best Christmas present that we have ever given to our parents. Watching them relive memories was the best gift! The process of sending the tapes in and having Legacybox work their magic was so simple and worth every dime.
I found the only copy of a VHS of my sister's wedding. Digitalizing it with Legacybox revived the day and brought back memories.
It was a great gift to my sister and now to her grown up kids.
So happy I chose Legacy Box to put my 8mm tapes and VHS tapes onto CDs. They did a fantastic job! The whole process was easy. They kept you updated on the progress of your order. My orders came back fast! I had a great experience with Legacy Box and I am enjoying all my memories I haven't seen in 30 years! I absolutely recommend them!
Its nice to have old films preserved to see our family from years past
Seemed to take forever to get the pics back. Pictures turned out real clear and bright colors. Very satisfied with the end results.
Most services charge by the foot to convert 16mm film. Legacybox does it by the reel. It ends up actually very cheap to have them convert the film.
From the boxes provided to the time finished product was received the process was flawless! Great communication and ability to track where my movies through the process.
Seeing my kids grow up again is such a gift. Sending all our old VHS and VHSC tapes in was so easy. I'm so happy with the results. I only wish I had done it sooner!
I had some issues with the results of my Legacybox order but the administration was very prompt with fixing the problem. Overall, the results of what was digitized was very good and we received the finished product quickly.
DIASGRACEFUL AND NEGLECTFUL HANDLING OF MY PHOTOGRAPHS. LETTERS TO FOUNDER, ADAM AND NICK AND AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR WERE TOTALLY UNANSWERED. QUALITY DIGITIZING WAS POOR AND TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER. STAY AWAY FROM LEGACYBOX

Legacy did a great job. They made the process very easy. I gave them VHS tapes that were at least thirty years old and they did a great job. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again
Answer: All Video and Film Transfers are done so at 480P. Additionally, we convert almost all consumer formats of videotapes, photos, film reels, and audio. Here's a full list of formats we can digitize: *Videotapes: VHS, VHS-C, S-VHS, S-VHS-C, Betamax, Hi8, Digital8, Video8, MiniDV, HD MiniDV, and MicroMV A note on foreign tapes: We can convert most PAL and SECAM consumer format tapes. The only foreign format we cannot currently convert are PAL and SECAM Betamax tapes. Just put a note in your box if you have a PAL tape. *Film: 8mm, Super8,16mm, and Super16 A note on sound: Since sound on film is so rare, and to ensure we're providing the highest quality transfers, it is not our standard process to digitize film with sound. *Photos: 35mm Slides, Photo Prints (up to 8.5 x 11"), and 35mm Negatives A note on photo packaging: When sending in your photos, slides, or negatives, we ask that you remove them from any extraneous container, group them in bundles of 25 and place them in clear plastic ziplock bags or envelopes. *Audio: Standard Audio Cassette Tapes, Mini Cassettes, Micro Cassettes, and 1/4" Reel-to-Reel Audio If you have any more questions, let me know. I am happy to help!
Answer: Legacybox sends everything back to you along with any thumb drives, CD's you ordered.
Answer: No. Just went through this with them. It's a "tough luck" and they keep your money.
Answer: Nope. They took 3 months to tell me an item was "damaged" and then told me their refund policy was 20% or more of the media damaged to give any refund.
Answer: Hi Judy, Great question! We ask that slides be grouped into sets of 25 (one item) either in an envelope or ziplock bag. We will provide small barcode stickers to apply to each bag of 25. Slides will be processed in numerical order, according to those barcodes. The order within each set of 25 is not guaranteed as there are alternate factors such as shipping where they could move around. The digital files are free from any copyrights so you can very easily re-order them however you'd like once you receive them back! Please reach out to our customer service team for the fastest responses at [email protected] if there is anything else we can help you with!
