Those boxes in your closet, garage, or basement aren't going to last forever. Old photos fade. VHS tapes degrade. Vinyl records warp. Cassettes lose fidelity. Slides deteriorate. Every year you wait, you lose a little more.
Porthos Media converts your old media into high-quality digital formats so you can preserve, enjoy, and share your memories for generations to come.

What We Digitize
Photos & Prints — Loose photos, photo albums, printed pictures of any size. We scan at high resolution, adjust colour and exposure, and deliver clean digital files you can store, share, or reprint.
Vinyl Records — Your record collection captured in high-fidelity digital audio. We clean the record, play it on quality equipment, record at high resolution, and deliver files in your preferred format — lossless WAV, FLAC, or standard MP3.
Cassette Tapes — Audio cassettes, mixtapes, voice recordings, lectures, interviews — whatever is on them, we'll capture it digitally before the tape deteriorates any further.

VHS & Video Tapes — VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, MiniDV, and other video tape formats converted to digital video files. Family events, home movies, wedding videos — preserved in formats you can actually watch and share.
Slides & Negatives — 35mm slides, film negatives, and transparencies scanned at high resolution and delivered as digital image files. Colour correction included.
Reel-to-Reel Audio — Older reel-to-reel tape recordings digitized and preserved.
Why Digitize Now?
Physical media degrades with time. It's not a question of if, it's when. Magnetic tapes lose signal. Photos yellow and crack. Vinyl develops surface noise. The longer you wait, the lower the quality of what can be recovered. Digitizing now captures the best possible version of what you have left.
Once digitized, your media is safe from physical damage, easy to back up, simple to share with family, and ready to enjoy on any modern device.
