8mm film is a motion picture format introduced by Kodak in the 1930s as an affordable option for home movies. The film is 8 millimeters wide and comes in several varieties, with most reels being silent though some have a magnetic audio band.
Many people ask how we digitize film reels. The short answer is that we use a semi-automated process with professional, industrial-grade equipment—not something you can easily replicate with a device or software at home. This ensures high-quality results and allows us to handle even large orders on time.
The process is semi-automated because the first step involves our team manually inspecting and, when needed, repairing issues like broken ribbons.
Our digitization services go beyond just transferring footage. We offer advanced color enhancement and scratch reduction for improved visual quality. For video content, we use AI-driven techniques to automatically create short reels and action shot highlights, so you can easily share the best moments without spending hours editing.
To ensure your digital copies are of the best quality, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
If for any reason you are not satisfied with the outcome of your order, we will happily reprocess it for you at no cost, within 60 days.
We can help with any questions you may have or give you step-by-step instructions on how to start your order.
