How we send your digital data
Digital Delivery Options
All completed digital files are supplied as a secure online download as standard.
Your files will be available through our cloud-based delivery system, allowing you to conveniently download and save them to your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone whenever it suits you.
For larger projects, particularly video tape conversions, file sizes can be substantial and may exceed download limits imposed by some internet providers or devices. In these cases, we recommend selecting a USB flash drive for delivery. For very large archive projects, we also offer XL-capacity USB drives and external hard drives. Full details can be found below.
If you would prefer your digital files on physical media instead of, or in addition to, an online download, simply choose your preferred delivery option from the selections below. Multiple delivery options can be added to the same order if required.
You are also welcome to provide your own storage device, such as a USB flash drive or external hard drive, when sending your films, photographs, slides, negatives, or video tapes to us. *See info below
