Don’t let your precious photos and videos become trapped on old memory cards from past cameras and phones. So many of us have a drawer full of various SD cards, MicroSD cards, and other formats. These small cards are easy to lose, can degrade over time, and are not easily read with today’s common devices, putting your irreplaceable memories at risk.

Rather than buy a card reader for each type of card from over the years, simply bring us your collection and we will carefully transfer photos from sd card to flash drive or another modern storage device of your choice. Our service makes it easy to move from SD card to USB or SD card to USB-C, consolidating all your files in one organized place. We also verify all files successfully transfer, and offer troubleshooting and recovery options.

Once we move all of your photos and videos off your memory cards and SD cards to a new USB drive, you’ll have a world of options for easy viewing, sharing, uploading, reprinting, editing and archiving. Stop by any location to get started!

Starting at $5.95/drive for up to 16g

Troubleshooting & repair options

Why buy multiple, specialized readers you’ll use only once to read obsolete cards? At Memories to Digital, we read dozens of memory card formats, from modern SDXC to old SmartMedia. And unlike a simple card reader, we verify file transfers and offer troubleshooting options for unreadable cards. We save you the hassle while providing a more secure, organized, and complete transfer of your memories to a modern USB drive (or two if you want a backup!).

Additional Information

What’s Included When We Transfer From Memory Cards and SD Cards to Flash Drive

All memory card data transfers include:

  • Meeting with you to discuss the details of your project. If you’ve mailed your material, we’ll call you for details.
  • Transferring your files to a new storage medium. This process includes:
    • Reading and exploring each original storage medium you provide.
    • Copying the data to your new storage medium. 
    • Creating a folder system on the new storage medium to account for and organize the data from each original source.
    • Checking the integrity of the data transfers to verify that all files copied completely. 
    • Documenting any hardware, software or file system problems that prevent a complete data transfer.
    • Advising you as to any troubleshooting or repair options.

Your original storage media are returned to you with your finished project. All data migration is done by our professionally trained staff in our local lab.

Note: Data transfer is limited by the condition of your original media. Additional charges may apply for: cleaning, handling, troubleshooting, or repairing dirty, moldy, damaged, degraded, corrupted or otherwise untransferrable media or files ($120/hour, $19.95 minimum per media, $4.95/file). Drives sold separately.

 

Preparing Your Memory Cards for Transfer
  1. Number each original storage medium if there is a specific order you’d like us to maintain.
  2. Think about how many copies you’ll need. We recommend purchasing a second copy that can be stored separately for safekeeping. 
  3. Consider subscribing to our local, secure, offline backup storage plan.
  4. Once your memories are backed up and easily accessible, read about all of the services we provide to help you edit and share your digital video and your digital photos.
  5. Get started – pick a location to drop off your media and book an appointment, or simply stop by a location that accepts walk-ins.

    Testimonials

    Just wanted to thank you again for the great job you did on my family’s movies. They were a big hit, especially the first DVD – The Early Years. Mom and Dad both teared up as they told their children and grandchildren about our family’s history.

    Thank you – the film transfers look terrific! It cost a little more than I had imagined, but it was well worth it. You did a great job and be sure that I will recommend your work anytime. I already did my first DVD with some of the clips and it just looks great!

    Here are the reasons to consider capturing your film in 2K or HD instead of SD:

    • Film predates pixels and lines of resolution. The image on film is generated when one or more layers of a random pattern of silver halide crystals react to light, and are retained or washed away and replaced by dyes in the developing process.The image detail generated by this process can appear anywhere on the surface of the film.
    • The more lines of resolution we scan with, the more of this random placement of image detail is captured and converted to pixels. Standard definition (SD) captures 720x480 pixels of detail, high-definition (HD) captures 1920x1080 pixels of detail, and 2K captures 2560x1440 pixels of detail.
    • Sometimes, scanning with more lines captures more of the “grain” of the film, or the crystals that remain on the surface of the film. The grain is more obvious in film that was produced with larger crystals (R8), and less obvious in film that was produced with smaller crystals (S8, 16mm). For some R8 film, scanning in SD softens the detail of the grain making it less disruptive to the image.
    • These days, with HD, 2K and 4K viewing environments - and larger and larger screens - more, smaller pixels is always better because the smaller pixels provide more detail and a smoother image as the image is enlarged to a big-screen.

    SD can never reproduce the full image detail on a film frame because SD video has a fixed pixel pattern with a density of 720x480 pixels, and the pixels that make up the image are always in the same place from one video frame to the next. But film has a random grain pattern, and the image created by the grains of crystals is in a totally different place from one film frame to the next. These random grains each carry a bit of the detail that make up the complete picture and, at running speed, the random grains overlap each other on the retina of your eye to significantly increase the amount of apparent detail. This is called “accumulative resolution”. If you transfer your 8mm home movies to SD video, even with the very best SD camera, your detail will be limited by the coarse, fixed pixel pattern inherent in SD video. Of course, HD and 2K have a fixed pixel pattern, too, but the number of pixels are so great and the pattern is so insignificant, that HD and 2K are like a fine silk stocking compared to the burlap weave of SD. 

    Our high definition (HD) film capture offers resolution gains of 667% over a standard definition (SD) capture (more than 6 times better). Our HD capture is not a mere up-conversion from an SD source. Our HD film capture equipment uses a high definition image sensor to take in 5 times the square pixels per frame of film that our SD machine is not capable of picking up. For 8mm films the HD image sensor generates greater than 4000 pixels per inch. Thus, the accumulative resolution effect found in film can be more readily seen in an HD transfer than in an SD transfer.
