Your family's history is stuck on tape.
We free it, right here in Downers Grove. Tapes, film reels, photos, and cassettes converted to digital by the same family shop that's been doing it for four decades. Nothing gets mailed anywhere. Ever. By appointment: call and we'll set a time.

Bring it in
Call to set up an appointment, then bring in your tapes, film, photos, or audio. We'll look at everything with you and quote it straight.
We digitize in-house
Every transfer happens here, by hand. Your originals never leave the building, and you get them all back.
Relive it
Pick up digital files, a flash drive, or discs. Then watch your dad's Super 8 reels at Thanksgiving.
National services make you mail your memories to a warehouse.
We think that's a strange thing to do with the only copy of your wedding video. At Classic, you hand your media to a person, it stays in our Downers Grove shop, and the same person hands it back.
Every format. Every occasion.

This place was top notch! They delivered three VHS to DVD copies in just a couple days. DVDs are great quality and came in protective covers. I'd highly recommend them.
Great service, friendly, helpful, personalized, safe for precious memories on tape or video. Will definitely use again.
Our school has worked with Classic for more than fifteen years. Friendly, cooperative, and always professional.
