Microfilm conversion services
Microfilm and microfiche were at one time the best options for backing up critical data, accessing information, and reducing the need for paper file storage. However, in the age of ever advancing digital technology, these microformats have proven to be obsolete. Image retrieval from microfilm and microfiche takes a long time and requires the use of bulky, out-of-date readers. Plus, the film itself is vulnerable to decay and loss. Converting this legacy data to searchable digital files has tremendous benefits and is often a requirement for companies and government agencies to look for the best option for microfiche scanning.

Our unique experience, specialized equipment and proven microfilm & document imaging process services will accommodate all of your microfilm and microfiche conversion needs on time and within budget.
What methods do we use for microfilm scanning?
Microfilm scanning services
Our microfilm scanning service offers high quality conversion to digital formats. Capable of scanning a variety of microfilm types, we meet diverse digital transformation needs.
Utilizing our specialist microfilm scanners, we produce high-resolution images from microfilm reels. Subsequently, these images are digitised using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which extracts and identifies text from the images. The resulting digital versions can be saved as text-searchable PDFs, TIFFs, JPEGs, and other formats. Our services are suitable for various microfilm formats, such as:
- 16mm Microfilm (commonly for A4 documents)
- 35mm microfilm (for larger items like drawings, plans, and newspaper archives).
