“We hesitated before sending our family photos to be digitized, but after studying the Everpresent website and speaking with staff there, we had the confidence to go ahead with the project. Soon we’ll send more photos!”
“Their service was ver accommodating and the results were great! We were a bit concerned because the VHS tape we submitted had been crimped a bit, but the final CD was awesome and so great to have these memories forever documented digitally!”
“I was very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the staff and was very happy with having many of our old VHS tapes digitized by Everpresent.
I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.”
“I have a number of large format glass plate negatives that date from 1900-1910. I had difficulty finding anyone who was willing to take on the project to scan the plates. Everpresent accepted the job, provided high quality raw files, and carefully returned the negatives to me. An all around fine experience for their communications, customer service, and technical expertise. Thank you for saving the images.

“Everpresent does a very good job at digitizing old 16mm family films, especially given that most of them were 60 to 65 years old. No need to send the old films to LA or Chicago. Everpresent is close by. Their website is invaluable for sharing with friends and relatives.”
“I had a very pleasant overall experience with Everpresent from consultation to receiving the final product. I looked forward to bringing in my tape to Everpresent to convert but also I was excited to get to know the business as I work for the Newton-Needham Regional Chamber and the Newton location is a chamber member. At the same time, I was very nervous about sending in our tape to be converted to a digital file because it was my family's only childhood video of my sisters and I so I didn't want to risk losing it. The staff was friendly and the location was very welcoming and cute. The staff walked me through the options and the steps of the process in detail. They had confirmations and consistent communication throughout the process. The project was completed within the week that they mentioned and the quality came out great! Thank you all for helping us keep these special memories!”
“I had about 400 feet of 8mm film of the 1950/60 vintage digitized by Everpresent. I was pleased with the results and the price. I didn't expect them to enhance this old film as I thought that impossible. At times the film was of very poor quality as the person doing the filming was not adept to all situations. But I really enjoyed viewing Everpresent's work and consider the imperfections as part of my family history. As to price, they charged me less than the original quote as the footage was less than estimated. I was pleased with this experience with Everpresent.”
“Easy to deal with, and scrupulous about checking in on how to handle delicate or damaged photos. Reasonably priced. Newton location not the easiest place to find & parking limited although off hrs (not rush hr) never had trouble finding one space out of 3.”
“I worked with a very nice woman to put some tape onto a thumbdrive. It wasn't clear how much of the tape was any good. I was told that I wouldn't be charged for any tape that was unclear but there was quite a bit that wasn't, that was included in the thumbdrive. I wouldv'e preferred not to have minutes of red video that couldn't be seen. that is why I'm giving an acceptable but not good rating.”
Lee, thank you for sharing this with us. When tapes are blank or completely unintelligible, we are one of the only companies I know of about that does not charge full price for those tapes. But in instances like this where much of the tape is good, but there are also many unavoidably damaged or red sections, we proceed with the digitizing so you can enjoy the good footage. Unfortunately, when we are charging under $30 per transfer to USB/DVD, we are not able to offer full editing and cleanup of the tape to weed out all mediocre footage. We offer the service for $80/hour, but we don't impose it on everyone as it would become expensive given that the average tape is over one hour long and the editor would have to watch most of the tape. All that said, if you have already taken the time to identify where you see footage you don't like, please feel free to call us about a small editing project to clean up the footage, which we may be able to do in less than an hour given your preparation, or to ask our advice for free editing software.
“Tia did a great job walking me through the process for converting my photos to digital. I visited in person. I found her very knowledgable and in a short time we were able to get the process going. Many thanks to her for her help! If there was a category called “Excellent” I would have used it.

“I had been holding onto 40 VCR tapes wondering what to do with them, toss them is what I decided. But I made one last ditch effort to convert to digital and found EverPresent. After a couple of test tapes, I brought in the whole batch. And finally got these memories preserved and readily viewable as DVDs and digital video files to play on my PC.
Everpresent did a great job, and converted everything so the results were professional and beautiful. After many years, my video 'project' is finally done!!”
“The team has made the many memories leftover from my parents manageable and much more easy to digest! We look forward to sharing with future generations.”
