Super 8 to digital in Melbourne

We scan your reels at 605-607 High Street, Kew East, opposite the Harp Hotel. We've been at this address since January 2020. Your originals stay in the shop.

Our 16mm, 8mm & Super 8mm Transfer and Conversions page covers the other cine film gauges.

Regular 8 and Super 8 film is scanned frame by frame. Every single frame is captured separately. Our technicians monitor the transfer and adjust colour, density and sharpness in real time.

Our frame-by-frame film scanner is belt driven. The system incorporates LED lighting rather than hot lamps. Before transfer, we clean the reels, check for damage and resplice bad joins where necessary, with cleaning and resplicing included.

Film that is falling apart may need a separate quote to rectify it before transfer. If your reels have broken sprocket holes, discuss the damage with us when you bring them in.

Choose digital files on USB or hard drive, DVD disc or Blu-ray Disc. Standard-definition output is available with a high-definition option. Film Reels to DVD covers the DVD option.

If you'd like to know how much it costs to have your Super 8 reels transferred to DVD or digital files, call PhotoQ on (03) 9855 0006 for a quote. Film transfer is quoted on the reels. Prices are fixed and agreed at the counter before work starts, with no hidden fees.

Turnaround depends on how many reels there are, their condition and how busy we are. A rush job is never charged extra.

We're open Monday to Thursday 10.00am to 5.00pm and Friday 10.00am to 4.00pm, closed weekends. Tram route 48 has stop 39 right out the front. There are public car parks near the shop in Valerie Street and Strathalbyn Street.

No appointment is needed for Super 8 to digital in Melbourne. You don't have to label the reels yourself; we do the labelling. Every job is identified with a unique four digit sticker.
