Scanning of 8mm, super 8mm and 16mm film is 25 cents per foot.
A 20-percent discount is offered 16mm scanning jobs of more than 1,000 feet of silent film.
Military veterans receive a 10 percent on the scanning portion of their order. Thank you for your service!
Included in the price of 25 cents per foot are:
- Inspection of the film prior to scanning and cleaning as deemed necessary;
- Repairs necessary for transfer (additional fees may apply for badly damaged film);
- Add leader necessary for transfer;
- Frame-by-frame scanning of the film in 2K resolution;
- Post-scanning editing/restoration of proper speed and removing any “dead” sections;
- Addition of title card describing content of the film as provided on the original reel/box or by client;
- A HD (1080p) digital file of your film on flash drive. Flash drives provide a convenient way to view the films on your Smart TV or computer.
Delivery on a high-quality, USB 3.1-compatible flash drive is provided on jobs over $100.
For jobs less than $100 in scanning fees, USB drives are $10.00
Additional flash drives for sharing with family are $10 each.
Super 8mm sound film and 16mm optical film can be transferred at 35 cents per foot. This is complex process that requires running the film in a projector to capture the sound, a second pass on the film transfer equipment, and combining the elements in software.
On quantities of silent 16mm film over 1,000 feet, a discount of 20 percent is offered.
Please read:
- Minimum film-scanning order is $35 plus $10 for USB drive. We must charge this to cover setup time for preparing and scanning your film. In some cases, we offer a free sample scan via email.
- Files can be saved to your portable hard drive, which is required if you request the individual frames for further editing or saving in a lossless format.

Additional services, VHS & 35mm Slides
- VHS and mini-DV tapes converted to digital. Minimum cost is $20 per tape, up to 2 hours. There is a $10 per tape charge for blank and off-air tapes. We must run the tape to determine if it is indeed blank or contains unwanted material; this ties up our equipment for an hour or more.
