I sent my moms old slides to be dititalized, for her retirement party (retired at 82) and I kept waiting for them after 6 month I forced nathalay ( a specialist for finding nothing) to admit they were lost she wouldn't call it! I got run around. I sent a registered letter to nick macco and he did not acknowledge me, i would of felt so bad if I did that to someone that I would be full of sorties and what can I do to make you feel better, the owner of legacy box is a Jagoff! Also legacy box sent my slides to south point a sister company without my permission and now they are missing it been over a year and a half! Beware people don't send your precious memories to Tennessee! You may regret it
LegacyBox did an amazing job converting the many different types of media I had collected over so many years. Everything was as advertised and done professionally. I would recommend Legacy to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy company to preserve their precious memories!
Legacy did an amazing job digitalizing all my reels and slides. I had no idea what was on them but was glad I had them converted. Legacy did everything they promised. I sent my media in and had it all converted. They then returned my media. I would definitely do this again.
Everything went as advertised. The packing and process was first class as well as the finished product. They did an excellent job of cleaning up my aging VHS tapes of instructional material that I did not want to loose. I recommend their services to everyone.
Hey Michael, thank you for being a first-class customer!
Amazing company to work with! Handled my items with such care and things came back so fast! I had an issue and they resolved it for free and within 2 weeks! So incredibly pleased! Would highly recommend and use again!
Thank you, Megan! That is great to hear! Thank you for choosing us to digitize your precious memories!
I finally got my video tapes together and sent them off to Legacy Box. What a great decision. Videos of our children growing up, special family events, even the shows we were in - all on my computer now to be enjoyed from now on. The company was helpful, answered my questions patiently, and did a beautiful job of packing everything up to return to me so I have them all back - even with notes letting me know where there were problems on my tapes. I plan to send in more tapes. Now that I see how easy it is, I won't hesitate.
Thank you, Barbara! We are so glad that you are enjoying your digitized memories! We cannot wait to process more tapes for you!
My experience started with contact with Customer Service Reps regarding question I had. We couldn't believe how quickly they responded. The more we got into it the more questions I had and they always responded in a timely and efficient manner. The Legacy Box came and the instructions were quite clear, shipping label and all. Once submitted they kept me informed of progress and returned my thumb drives as requested more quickly than we expected. We had a great experience with LegacyBox and would recommend it to all.
That is great to hear, David! Thank you! We are so happy that we could answer your questions and digitize your memories!
I ordered because they were advertising 50% off and we had a box of films from hubbys childhood. Easy to send, love their process of keeping the customer in the loop during the whole time. Our digitized footage arrived for Valentines Day and we sat down to watch everything immediately. Thank you Legacy Box for preserving precious video of my husbands family, especially his father who passed at a young age. It was touching watching hubby relive the memories. Kind of like Chevy Chase in the attic in Christmas Vacation. I would highly recommend the Legacy Box package. We now have media that we can access and share.
Wow, Lyn! That is wonderful! We are glad that you and your family can relive these memories! Thank you for choosing us!
My Mom had a box full of reels of film which were useless to us since we no longer had the projector. So although there was a tiny bit of distortion in the video, it was worth every penny and I would use LegacyBox again. It has been great viewing family events and outings from years ago, so LegacyBox is performing a wonderful service. LegacyBox helped me remember what a great childhood I had! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Sophie for choosing us to help you re live your childhood memories!
I bought LegacyBox for my husband as a Christmas present. All of our home videos were on a format that we couldn't use anymore. It has been so much fun watching all of our videos. The turnaround was quick. The shipping process is easy because everything is prepared for you. LegacyBox is expensive - but so worth it.
Thanks Sarah! We are so happy you were able to happily relive these golden memories. It's an honor to provide this service to you and your loved ones!
I had some old 8mm and 16mm movies transferred to digital format. I also had a set of slides converted. I used a groupon which made the whole thing a good value as well.
We are so glad that you chose us to digitize your films and slides, Tom!
I decided to try legacybox after seeing reviews, marketing and some research. I sent my 8 and 16 mm film and requested enough media to give to my siblings as a surprise. After receiving my product I put the thumbd drive in my computer and hear no sound. Thinking that it may be my error I put a dvd in and again heard no sound on media that Iknow has recorded sound. I contacted them by email and received a quick response. I was informed that because 99% of the 8mm and 16mm film has no sound recorded on it they do not have equipment to transfer sound from the 1% they receive. I was also sent a link that showed me that this policy was listed on their website. In appreciating their point of view and "experience" I then asked if I may return their product for a refund. I was told (in spite of it ALSO being listed on their webstite) that although the product was unsatisfactory that a refund was not possible. I am dissatisfied that this fact is not more prevalent in their marketing but I suppose that if it were they may not receive a few request for service.

I had several 8mm movies that I wanted to convert. I didn't have a projector to see them on any more. Two were very old. I got them from my fathers estate and didn't know what was on them. WOW was I surprised. They were taken in 1940 and 1943. The quality wasn't very good after all these years but LegacyBox did a great job of converting them. I would have given them five stars except for the cost.
Wow! That is great to hear, Ronald! We are glad that you chose us to convert these 8mm movies for you!
They were amazing in converting my videos to a USB drive! Very thankful for their quick & safe handling of my videos!
Hi Barbara! Thank you SO much for your kind words and feedback! Please let us know if you need anything.
I saw a Groupon for Legacy Box. My parents had a whole bunch of old 8mm films in a box upstairs in the attic. The projector that we had no longer worked. So I got all of the film together, labeled it and sent it out. Legacy Box does e-mail you to let you know how many DVD discs you will get. Also, if there is an additional cost. Well, when I got the DVD's back it was wonderful! I am now sixty years old, and I was able to see my whole family again. When all the film was put together, I got over three hours of footage. Thank you Legacy Box so very much!
You're very welcome, Joanne! We are so happy that you can re live these memories of your family!
I got this gift for my husband who is impossible to get a gift for. He had not seen any of the videos he's taken when he was in his 20's, travelling abroad nor any of the videos we took when the kids were little. Being able to watch them all these year later on our laptop brought so much joy and laughter, which is just priceless. Had I not used Legacy box, those old tapes would have remained in storage and never had been viewed. This was the best money spent.
That is wonderful, Allison! What an amazing gift to share with your family! Thank you for choosing us to digitize these videos!
Found 250 slides from my parents house. It was so great to convert them to a usable content and get prints. Like getting in a time machine as it's been 40 years since I last saw them.
Wow! That's great, John! Thank you for choosing us to convert your slides.
I sent Legacy Box 56 old VHS, VHS-C, and 8MM tapes to turn into viewable files... THANK YOU! My tapes ranged from our wedding in 1989 through 2005 (30 years & seven children later). This was a wonderful gift from my husband. Only wish is that we'd done this sooner!
Thank you so much, Tamara! We are happy that we could give you the opportunity to re live these precious memories!
I asked for this as a Christmas gift. It was easy to do as a gift subscription. Came with labels to put on all my VHS to convert to DVD. I am glad to have all my home movies on DVD.
It is pricey- which is why I asked for it as a gift. It also it a pain in the rump to label everything. I cannot imagine doing pictures. Seem like so much work. But overall they were easy to work with and did a good job. I only had one tape that they marked bc it was corrupted for some reason.
We are so happy that you chose us to digitize your memories, Andrea!
We were sent a legacy box kit which included numbered bar codes. My siblings and I spent hours going through many rolls of 8mm film and marked them in order according to the numbered bar codes.
When we received the DVD's, they were completely out of order, not all of the film was transferred, you could see part of it slipping and some of the film was split from the reel.
I called and spoke with a very nice man who understood the problem. We were refunded what we paid thanks to the man that I spoke with. Thankfully all of the reels were returned along with the DVD's. If you treasure your memories, do not send them to legacy box! Although I read good reviews here, I think those people were just lucky! There are other ways to transfer film, etc. Save your money & your memories!
Hello Denise! We always want to make sure that you're satisfied. That said, we'd love the opportunity to make this right. We've tried reaching out to talk through potential solutions.

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!
Answer: Hello, thank you for reaching out to us! Yes, the digital files you receive back are free from any copyrights so you are more than welcome to edit them as you see fit. Please reach out to our customer service team directly at [email protected] if there is anything else we can help you with for a more prompt response time!
Answer: Hello Lowell, We are a 1:1 transfer company meaning what is on your original will also be on your digital output. We do not offer any editing or enhancements. The digital files you receive back are free from any copyrights so you are more than welcome to edit them as you see fit. You can also request multiple copies when placing your order as well. Please reach out to our customer service team directly at [email protected] if there is anything else we can help you with for a more prompt response time!
