EXCELLENT Based on 449 reviews Posted on Cloe ClareTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just used supaphoto and it’s been a great quick and simple experience! Our films and video tapes were collected promptly and the team got back to us straight away when they received. We got a broken down price of what everything would cost and explained the stages of the process for us. Great price for what we sent away and very prompt on doing the job and sending stuff back. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking for this service.Posted on Sue BlightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service and very efficient too! The quality of the films is superb and have not lost any of the quality from the original. Thanks for preserving our memories! Just used Supaphoto again and the service was so good. They really understand the importance of my 'legacy' videos and treat them very carefully. They are great at identifying the most cost effective way to deliver your product and are so quick in their responses. The output? - a beautiful memory box on a stick!Posted on Suzanne CorcoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emile & his team definitely deserve 5stars so helpful & a speedy Gonzales turn around they went above & beyond getting my old camcorder tapes digitalised in time for my husbands 70th surprise thanks so much 🙏Posted on Pippa HammondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great quality service. Transformed two VHS tapes (including one affected by mould) to high quality digital files. Would highly recommend.Posted on Mark WitcombTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gisela and her team took on the daunting challenge of developing a 55-yrs old cine film I’d come across (Kodak 8mm 'Kodachrome II Daylight film') which my grandfather seems to have forgotten to send off for processing back in about 1970. Supaphoto were quick to respond and helpful, explaining the process clearly including their policy of an up-front payment of £120 regardless of successfully processing the film or not. Given the work required that seems fair enough. Although the process took several months (apparently, they had to wait on some chemicals) Supaphoto kept me updated and were always quick to respond to my emails. Eventually they informed me that after several attempts they had been able to recover some images, in spite of the film being in very poor condition. It felt very strange seeing the footage for the first time after so long; like ghosts from the past! Thanks so much Supaphoto for not giving up, dealing with the issues and getting a positive result, I very grateful! MarkPosted on E HousdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fast & efficient. Did a superb job on digitisation of 50 years old slides to be used for our Golden Wedding celebrations. We are very pleased with the result! 🥰Posted on sue durrantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Supaphoto copied some camcorder films onto a USB stick for me. They were very quick and professional and the quality is excellent.Posted on Laurence O'ConnorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Truly excellent service. I had an old minidisc voice recording which Supaphoto quickly converted to digital. Many thanks for the quick service :)Posted on Shona HarrissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Personal and efficient service from the team! Will definitely be using them in the future with my Home videos.Posted on Clem HunnisettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. Fast and efficient.

More Questions About this Format
A: To convert VHS video to USB, the footage must first be played through a compatible VCR and digitally captured using specialised conversion equipment. Doing this at home requires the right setup and software, which can be tricky and time-consuming. At Supaphoto, we handle this entire process for you using professional video players and converters, transferring your old tapes directly onto a USB stick as high-quality MP4 files ready to watch, edit, or share.
A: You can send your video cassettes directly to Supaphoto by post. We convert all common formats — including VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8, and MiniDV — into digital MP4 files stored on USB sticks. Once complete, we’ll return both your original tapes and your new USBs, carefully labelled and ready for playback on Smart TVs, computers, and most modern devices.
A: Our video-to-USB conversions start from £8.99 per tape, depending on length and quality level.
