    Aaron was wonderful to work with! He took excellent care of our family's old VHS tapes and DVDs. Communication was easy and smooth throughout the whole process. So glad I found his services!

    Communication is great! Aaron has been putting in a lot of extra effort with one of our tapes that is broken. The other tapes came out great. So fun to watch after so many years.

    While shopping for a VCR and a digital converter I came across “Past Forward Convert” digital converting service. It was so much cheaper than buying the equipment that I decided to try the service. And I am so glad that I did! I was a bit nervous about letting the tapes out of my possession, but when I contacted Aaron, he explained the process to me in detail and put me at ease. I dropped them off in person and 48 hours later Aaron informed me they were ready to be picked up. I received a digital copy of each tape on flash drive, and he also uploaded the files to a personal cloud folder. The resolution and quality are every bit as good as the original tapes (and even better when viewed on my phone). I was so happy with Aaron’s service and the quality of the digital videos that I am now using him to convert my Hi-8 tapes.

    Beyond impressed! I've been looking for a company to transfer my daughter's precious birthday videos on a flash drive for a while. The videos are on Hi8 tapes and I had no idea how to do this myself and of course, no spare time to learn how. Many companies offering this service were very expensive. I came across this company without actually looking for it. I reached out and got a response quickly. Aaron explained the process and my options. I handed over my precious videos, many with loved ones no longer with us and waited for the magic to happen. Aaron told me he would have my videos saved for a lifetime in the cloud and I would get a flash drive as well. He said he would have it done in a few days and he did! Excellent communication, did exactly what he said he would do. Don't hesitate, he does excellent work!

Your kind words about my communication and the peace of mind you felt mean the world to me. I'm so glad this worked out quickly for you! Thank you again for your incredible trust and recommendation.

    We recently had Aaron convert 27 of our old VHS tapes with various lengths on them, over to digital on a USB drive. It was the best thing we ever did! He did them all quickly and they turned out great on the drive he gave us! This was something I’ve been wanting to have done for a very long time. We haven’t seen some of these videos in over 30 years! Videos of our Daughter when she was a baby and now is 37! Family get togethers that have some of our dear loved ones on them that are no longer with us. We are so very grateful that Aaron could do this for us. He was absolutely wonderful to work with! Very professional, answering all my questions and concerns and the main thing is, he is someone you can genuinely trust with your precious memories too. I would highly recommend him and his service!

    I had a few old VHS tapes I hadn’t seen in years and figured I’d finally get them converted. Aaron didn’t just do the job, he really went above and beyond. He made the whole process simple from the start, answered all my questions, and even double-checked the files before sending them back. I got everything on a USB and also a backup link, which I didn’t expect but really appreciated. You can tell he actually cares about the memories he’s helping preserve. It didn’t feel like a service, it felt like someone taking care of something that mattered to me. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants their tapes handled with real care!
