Is it easy to share with my family?
It’s so easy. Just forward the link we’ll send you or share your USB memory stick.
Which media output is best?
Digital files are easy to play and share on PCs, laptops, ipads and phones. Start your own home movie editing projects too. A back-up DVD also makes sense.
No Upfront Payment? – When do I pay?
We never charge upfront unlike other companies. Why? Because there’s always a small chance that you may have non-chargeable blank reels.
How long does it take?
Typically 5-10 working days or less.
Do you offer an advanced service?
Yes. It delivers more vivid colours, better contrast, sharper pictures and image stabilisation. It takes longer but and costs relatively little more.
Do you offer Pro Wetgate Solution for Dust and Scratches?
Yes – We are rare in the industry since we also offer this service. When a scratch or vertical line in the film emulsion is filled with fluid, light will travel through the film with less refraction which results in less visibility of the damaged parts.

The technology to convert cine film as faithfully as today just did not exist a decade ago! If unsure customers should carry out a single reel test.

Why Convert Super 8 to Digital?
Sadly, nothing lasts forever and super 8 film is no exception. Unfortunately, it’s a fact of life that the sooner you do it, the better as films – like our memories – fade over time. They get brittle and splices break too. In summary, take action whilst you can and you’ll be able to share and preserve them with your family.
These days, if you find a box with old reels of Super 8 under the bed, you might notice the film has started to degrade and break down. Old films were never designed to last forever so converting to digital video makes a lot of sense.
The film itself becomes brittle with time and, when you open the box, a tell-tale, musty smell like vinegar lets you know it’s no longer in a good way. You don’t have much time before it degrades further. The clock is ticking.
It’s particularly emotional watching moving images of people back in the days when everyone looked so much younger as all the old memories come flooding back, especially when you’re watching with members of your family. The experience is so involved. Few things can bring a family together in the same way.
The moment your Super 8 film is transferred onto digital format, your memories will be safe and sound for the foreseeable future. The more copies there are floating around, the greater the peace of mind you will have. And when you digitise your old cine film, you might want to order additional copies of DVDs because they make such wonderful and unexpected gifts for friends and family.
Super 8 has a singular charm all of its own, which it retains on digital. And that’s why it’s time to protect your memories forever by converting your old cine film to a new format. You’ll get the very best of both worlds and your memories will be preserved forever.
The Interesting History Super 8 film
Super 8 film was first introduced to the world in 1965 as a revolutionary upgrade on Standard 8mm, with smaller sprocket holes and bigger frames that produced sharper images. Discover more – 8mm film to digital
It was cheaper and handier than previous formats, (learn more – convert 16mm film to digital ) prompting more and more people to use it. By the 1970s, before the arrival of camcorders, Super 8 was massively popular. Specially designed to be user-friendly, it came in light-proof cartridges you could easily load into your camera, which eliminated the need to thread film. Almost overnight, it became the choice of home movie enthusiasts everywhere. Although Super 8 is a thing of the past, their frame by frame videos hold invaluable memories to those who caught a snippet of life on them. We’ve seen a drastic increase in the amount of people converting Super 8 to digital files. Many people even opting to convert Super 8 to DVD
Preserve Those Special Moments and Digitise Super 8 Film
People recorded all the special moments in their lives on Super 8: it might have been a fun family visit to Disneyland or a graduation ceremony at one of the UK’s then brand-new universities. There again, you could also capture your family group in their Morris Marina crossing the Channel to go on holiday, baby’s first faltering steps, or dads dancing at weddings in shirts with colossal collars. It all made for very happy memories.
Sending your film off to be processed became part of the ritual. When it came back in the post, families used to sit down together, looking on in wonder as they watched the footage playback via a projector and screen amid mounting excitement and laughter. There was nothing like seeing your friends and family come alive in Kodachrome.
Top Reasons to Transfer Super 8 Film To Digital Before It’s Too Late!
Sadly, as a format Super 8 is now outmoded and well past its sell-by date. Not many of us have an 8mm projector and screen standing by anymore and it’s become much harder to share your Super 8 memories with the people you love.
But all is not lost. If you want your memories to last, all you need to do is get in touch with Supaphoto and have us convert your Super 8 to digital using our dedicated HD film scanner – our high quality film converter which will create a digital file.
Before you convert super 8 to digital video though, consider your preferred output choice – i.e: uploading our cloud service (typically as a file format called mp4), on a memory stick (not so much sd cards nowadays).
What Will the Quality be Like When I Digitise Super 8 With Supaphoto?
Once you send your Super 8 in to us, the first thing we do is give your footage a health check. Old film can be a bit grainy and scratched, but if it’s professionally cleaned, with the removal of unwanted dust and hair, it will immediately look a whole lot brighter and better.
Using a high-quality digital conversion system operated by skilled technicians who pay attention to every little detail, we’ll restore your film to its past glory with full-frame scanning, colour correction and enhancement as well as speed adjustment for pleasurable, flicker-free viewing.
Whatever condition your film arrives in, Supaphoto will help spruce it up until it’s looking its best again. You’ll be amazed at the results.
We treat each frame with care. If your film has lost its original tints – over time colour tends to shift towards magenta and red – we’ll bring its images vividly back to life with scene-by-scene colour correction. Our aim is to recreate a digital image for every frame of the film with painstaking accuracy.
Take advantage of the years of experience gained from converting every kind of film media to digital, we offer you the very best when you need to digitise super 8 to digital UK, image correction and enhancement. Rest assured, the process will be gentle on your original film and won’t damage a single frame.

It’s compatible with all modern devices, including phones, laptops and home computers. You’ll scratch your head at why anybody ever came up with the idea of a screen and projector in the first place.
Super 8 with Sound?
Initially, Super 8 film was silent, meaning it did not have a sound recording capability. However, as the demand for synchronized sound in home movies and amateur filmmaking increased, Kodak introduced Super 8 sound film in the early 1970s.
The introduction of Super 8 sound film allowed users to record and playback sound along with their moving images. The sound was recorded on a magnetic strip along one edge of the film. This strip could capture both audio and visual information, making it possible to have synchronized sound in home movies.
Super 8 sound film facilitated the creation of more immersive and engaging home movies, as users could now capture not only the visuals of an event but also the accompanying sounds, such as voices, music, and ambient noise. This development made Super 8 a more versatile and attractive format for amateur filmmakers and enthusiasts.
Not sure if our cine film has sound? Well don’t worry. Super 8mm cine film with a magnetic soundtrack might represent very little of the footage out there but we can help you here too.
Where Can I Transfer Super 8 Film Transfer to Digital Near Me?
At the end of the day, you should be more focused on the quality and security of handling than simply finding a local partner. Furthermore, we can easily arrange for a fully and easy collection to make life easy for you and it does not have to be super 8 – it could be that you are interested in our 9.5mm cine film to dvd or old 8mm film processing and developing or even 35mm telecine services.
Don’t procrastinate anymore, embrace the simplicity, and let’s make this happen. Cut, wrap, and action!
