VHS was the home-video standard for decades, so it holds some of your most precious moments — weddings, birthdays, first steps and family holidays. But VHS tapes were never made to last, and after 20-plus years the picture fades, colours shift and mould can set in.
VHS (Video Home System) is the familiar full-size video cassette used in home VCRs from the 1980s through the early 2000s. We play your tapes on professional-grade equipment to capture the best possible picture, then deliver clean digital files you can watch, share and back up.
- Full-size VHS cassettes handled with care
- Professional capture for the clearest possible transfer
- Optional 4K upscaling to sharpen and clean up old footage
