CD, DVD & Memory Card to USB/Digital Transfer – Stourbridge
Future-Proof Your Photos, Videos & Audio Files
CDs, DVDs, and memory cards were once the go-to for storing family photos, home videos, music, and documents—but they're becoming obsolete and unreliable. Scratches, degradation, or unreadable drives can mean losing precious memories forever.
At Portraits by Hart in Lye, Stourbridge, we specialize in safely transferring your files to modern, durable formats: MP3/WAV for audio, MP4 for video, JPEG for images—onto USB sticks or portable hard drives for easy access, sharing, and long-term storage.
With 68+ years of family expertise in preservation, every conversion is handled personally in-house—no outsourcing, no risk to your originals.
