You have different options. The easiest and most reliable choice is to use a Super 8 conversion service like MEDIAFIX. However, if you have the right equipment at home, you can digitise your Super 8 films yourself, using a Super 8 film projector, a good-quality camera, and video editing software. If you don’t have a projector, you can buy a digitising machine. This method is better than other manual capturing methods, but it is still less effective than using a professional digitisation service.

Most Super 8 are silent. There is a small chance that your Super 8 film has a soundtrack. To find out, take a closer look at the tape. If there is a 0.5 to 0.8 mm wide orange-brown magnetic tape, that’s a soundtrack. Sometimes there are even two soundtracks. If your Super 8 films have a soundtrack, we can convert them to digital as well.

Not sure if your films have sound? No problem! We can check it for you. We only charge for the soundtrack digitisation if a soundtrack is present.

To find out how long your Super 8 film is, take a look at the film spool. You should be able to read there the length of your film in metres or feet.

Alternatively, you can measure the diameter of the film spool and use the illustration below to estimate the length of your Super 8 film. Please note that with this method you can only determine the maximum length of your Super 8 film. The actual length is often less, so the costs for digitisation will be lower.
