Why Choose Memory Keepers to Preserve Your Family Memories
We’re a local, family-owned and operated company that truly cares about our community here in Aurora and the surrounding western suburbs. Our team knows how quickly dust, humidity, temperature changes can affect delicate film. That’s why we use professional-grade equipment and gentle restoration techniques to ensure that your footage looks its best once converted.
When you trust us to convert your 8mm, Super8, and 16mm film to digital, you’ll get the very best transfer service available. We clean and inspect each reel, repair minor damage, and digitally capture your footage so it’s as vivid as possible. The end result is a high-quality digital copy that’s easy to watch, share, and store safely.
The Process: Simple, Safe, and Reliable
Our film-to-digital process is designed with your peace of mind as a top priority. Once you bring your reels to our Aurora location, we’ll take the time to evaluate their condition and provide an honest overview of what to expect from the transfer. We carefully handle each reel, removing dirt and buildup before beginning the conversion process.
We then use high-resolution scanners to transfer each individual frame with precision. This method preserves color, detail, and texture far better than outdated projector methods. Once your films are digitized, we offer them in multiple formats, including USB, DVD, or hard drive, so you can access and share them anytime. Whether you’re hosting a family reunion in nearby Plainfield or compiling a family history project for relatives across the country, you’ll have a digital version ready to go.
Locally Focused Service with a Personal Touch
Aurora isn’t just where we work: it’s home. We’re proud to serve residents from neighborhoods near Phillips Park to communities along the Fox River and beyond. We know how important family connections are in this area, and we’re honored to play a role in preserving that history. Our customers often tell us they appreciate how hands-on our approach is and how reassuring it feels to have their family memories cared for by a local business rather than being shipped off across the country.
If you’ve ever driven past the downtown Aurora Paramount Theatre or spent a summer afternoon in Blackberry Farm, you know that the beauty of this area lies in its blend of history and community. That’s exactly the spirit we bring to our work, honoring the past while making it easy to enjoy those moments in the digital age.
