From our clients
Over the past few years I have had Digital Downsizing digitize literally thousands of pieces of old media. They have worked on hundreds of 16mm family films, some dating back to the thirties and many in the various stages of decay from vinegar syndrome. They cleaned the film and made crisp high resolution copies.
The variety of media they can handle is enormous. Besides 16mm home movies, I have sent over slides, SVHS-C, MiniDV, VHS, reel to reel audio, cassette tapes, and of course photos of various sizes. Now all my family’s memories going back decades are available to me as high resolution digital files.
I highly recommend Digital Downsizing and they have been a pleasure to work with.

My gran passed away recently and I had fallen in love with a photo of her when she was young. Sadly the photo wasn't great quality - it was a scan of a home laminated copy of the original old photo which had some damage on it. I didn't have much hope of being able to have a nice copy of it that I could put on the wall but Stephanie worked wonders on it. The photo now looks amazing! I highly recommend Digital Downsizing. Thank you so much, Stephanie xxx

You recently cleaned up and restored the colors to the only known photograph of my aunt and all 13 of her children. The family loves what you did. Worth every penny ... and then some! :)
