How It Works

Simple from start to finish.

Step 1 — Book your drop-off

Email or call to schedule. Bring your tapes, photos, film, and documents to our Clinton Township facility. We will do an intake review on the spot and give you a firm quote before any work begins.

Step 2 — We digitize and organize

Standard turnaround is 10–20 business days depending on volume. Tapes are digitized in real time (no speed-up processing that damages quality). Photos are scanned at 600 DPI minimum. Everything is AI-tagged and organized chronologically.

Step 3 — Your vault is ready

You receive a notification when your RigidVault is ready. Log in to review, download, and share. Your originals are returned to you at pickup or via insured mail. Your digital files live on Michigan hardware indefinitely.

Common Questions

VHS digitization — answered.

No. We are located in Clinton Township, Michigan — you can drop off in person by appointment. This means your originals never leave the area and you do not pay for shipping insurance on irreplaceable media. Pickup is also available for large collections.
VHS tapes must be digitized in real time — a 2-hour tape takes 2 hours to capture properly. Standard turnaround for a full family collection is 10–20 business days. Rush processing is available. We confirm timeline at intake before any work begins.
Video files delivered as MP4 (H.264, 1080p where source allows). Photos as high-resolution JPEG and TIFF. Audio as FLAC and MP3. All files are also stored in your RigidVault, accessible online from any device.
Your originals are returned to you. We never retain physical media beyond the project window. Your digital files are stored in RigidVault indefinitely on Michigan hardware — never auto-deleted, even if you stop paying.
Many damaged tapes can still be captured. We assess condition at intake and advise before any work begins. Severely degraded tapes may require baking or cleaning first — we will tell you what is recoverable and what is not, honestly, before you pay anything.
TransfersToDigital does good work converting tapes to disc or USB. The difference is what happens after: with RigidMemory, your digitized files live in a sovereign vault on Michigan hardware with AI organization, provenance records, and permanent preservation. We are not just converting media — we are building your family's permanent digital archive.
