What We Can Scan

We digitise a wide range of photo memories, including:

How to Prepare Your Photos

  • Download & Complete the Collation Document
    Print it off, fill it in, and place it in your box. This lets you tag albums or bundles with details like dates, people, or events.

  • Sort & Organise
    Group photos into bundles or albums that make sense to you (e.g. by year, event, or family member).

  • Remove Clips & Notes
    Please take off paper clips, staples, or sticky notes to avoid damage.

  • Pack Securely
    Use a sturdy box with plenty of padding to keep your photos and albums safe in transit

What We Can Digitise

We carefully convert a wide range of home video formats, including:

How You’ll Receive Your Videos

Because video and cine film files are much larger than photos, uploading them directly to your Miigen account would quickly use up free storage. Instead, we’ll transfer your digitised videos onto a USB device, which we’ll send back to you safely.

This way, you can watch them directly from the USB on your computer or TV and Choose which highlights you’d like us to help upload into Miigen later.

How to Prepare Your Videos

  • Label Your Tapes (If Possible)
    Keep any notes already on the cassettes (e.g. “Holiday 1992”). This makes identification easier.

  • Check for Damage
    If a tape casing is cracked or looks broken, let us know before sending. We may still be able to help with special handling.

  • Pack Carefully
    Use a sturdy box with padding to prevent tapes or reels from moving around in transit.
