That box of old tapes in the closet? We turn it into video you can actually watch again — on your phone, your TV, or a DVD to hand around at the holidays.
We're a locally owned digitization service in Grayslake, Illinois, north of Chicago. Since 2017, we've helped families across Lake County and throughout the United States bring their old home videos, photos, and films back to life.
Most people find us after searching for someone reliable and affordable. What they stick around for is the personal part — you talk to the person actually doing the work, and nothing leaves our hands until it’s right.
Based in Grayslake, IL — serving families across Lake County and nationwide.
Competitive rates, with fair discounts on larger projects.
Get your memories back quickly, not weeks from now.
Broken videotape? We repair it at no extra charge.
Bring us a shoebox or a single reel. We handle both the same way — carefully.
We produce custom slideshows and videos for weddings, baby showers, graduations, birthdays, retirements, and celebrations of life.
Need help organizing your digital files, digitizing old documents, or recovering data from ancient floppy disks? We do that too.
No hidden fees and no deposit. You only pay once the work is done and you’ve seen it.
Got a big batch? Discounts are fair and worked out case by case — just ask. We take cash, check, or Zelle.

The stuff people usually ask on the first call — answered up front.
A few words from families we’ve helped over the years.
“Midwest Digital Conversions professionally converted all of my home videos for an extremely low price. I saved hundreds of dollars!”
“We have a VHS tape with us and our 3 children on it, recorded in 1979. Dave was able to make good clear DVD copies for me. I thought I'd never get to see it again.”
“Amazing to work with! Quick turnaround time. Followed up to make sure everything was just as I wanted. Highly recommended!”
