16mm film transfer projects are some of the most enjoyable for our team. We see plenty of cherished home videos, and 16mm tends to also bring footage from football games and other events. Our team of over 80 technicians can digitize your 16mm film at up to 2KHD resolution, repair damaged film and splices, and provide organized USB, DVD or cloud archives. If you need help quickly measuring your film footage, get in touch with us and we can provide a free estimate.
Our Mission
“By making the hard work of digitizing and sharing easy for our clients, we will preserve our world’s history before old formats fade and family stories are lost to time. Our ultimate goal is to make your best memories EverPresent in your life.”
– Eric, Jennifer & Winston
Why Choose Our 16mm Film Transfer service
In the rare cases that we do not have the equipment, we may subcontract to a local archivist who specializes in rare formats who we have worked with for decades. In all cases, we personally transport tapes to his lab. Nothing is ever sent in the mail.

EXTRAS & UPGRADES:
A $50 service fee applies to all orders. This service fee provides for safe handling procedures including: intake, item coding, physical & digital storage, quality checks by senior technicians and packaging.
Ultimately, what we care about is helping families do this film to digital project ONCE – and do it right the first time.
We quote by 50 feet to make the math easy because 90% of our orders are the 3″ 50 feet reels. These reels fit in the palm of your hand and increase from there. For example, 4″ is 100ft of film, 5″ is 200ft and so on.
Our App
Stop Searching. Start Sharing.
our aI philosophy
Across all analog formats we use artificial intelligence as a support tool, not a substitute for human expertise. AI assists with stabilization, cleanup, and consistency, allowing our specialists to focus on judgment, quality control, and preservation decisions.
We don’t apply the same approach to every format, and we don’t automate simply for speed. Slides demand different care than VHS tapes; audio requires different judgment than film. Each project is reviewed by people who understand the material, the era it came from, and the responsibility that comes with preserving it.
Every order reflects the same philosophy: thoughtful technology, human oversight, and respect for the original.
