About Capture
Since our founding in 1999, Capture has helped over 12 million families protect and share generations of memories. We are the largest digital media transfer service worldwide and believe in providing a service that we would trust to preserve our own special memories.
Your videotapes, movie film reels, photos, slides, and negatives deteriorate over time, as does equipment for playing analog media. Capture converts aging media formats to digital files that you can store and back up on Google Photos and your hard drive. USBs are viewable on any device with a USB port, and files are easy to store, duplicate, and back up.
Safety & Security
Over the past 25 years, we have developed best practices to ensure the safety and security of your memories.
