“It did take a few weeks to receive my thumb drive, but it was worth the wait.”
What customers say
They did a great job of converting my grandfather Arthur Dow's antique glass-plate negative pictures to digital thumb-drives. Here is an example, the picture is off the inner workings of a long gone Biddeford/ Saco Maine mill where his brother worked, circa 1900.
After a disastrous experience at a local photography store where we tried to have a variety of old family reels, VHS and other assorted out of date media digitized we were so lucky to have found EVERPRESENT.
Easy from start to finish! The team at EverPresent were so helpful. I packaged all of my 25 year old VHS tapes up and they sent someone to pick everything up at my home.
My first time to use any company for transferring 8MM film to digital. This film was one my father had made before his passing and one which I had never seen. I was skeptical, and had concerns about loss or damage.
