VHS to digital · Santa Barbara
We turn your old videotapes into videos you can watch on your TV and phone. We pick up your tapes at your door and bring them back. Nothing is ever mailed.
Videotapes lose color and sound every year. Once we save them, your family can watch them for good.
How it works
No boxes and no shipping labels. We come to you.
Tell us about how many tapes you have and pick a day. We will call you to confirm.
Pickup is free in Santa Barbara, Goleta and Montecito. Your tapes stay in town.
In 1 to 2 weeks we return your tapes, set everything up on your TV and show you how to watch.
What you get
Every order includes a private family channel. Watch on your TV, phone or tablet, and share one link with your family.

Our mission
To help Santa Barbara families keep their memories forever.
We are a small local business, and we take care of every tape ourselves.
We pick up, digitize and return them here.
You pay after you see your videos.
If a tape is too damaged to play, you don’t pay for it.
We never share your videos. We delete our copies 30 days after your order.
Reviews
“No boxes, no mailing, no fuss. He picked up eleven tapes from my porch and brought them back ten days later. Now all the grandkids have the link.”
“I was nervous about letting our wedding tape out of the house. Knowing it never left Santa Barbara made all the difference.”
“I bought this for my parents’ anniversary. The keepsake drive with the list of every tape was the perfect gift.”
