Curtis Media Transfer is dedicated to digitizing old home movies, audio tapes, and photos, making it easy to relive the memories you haven't experienced in years. Quality transfers and outstanding customer service is our top priority. We have been doing this for the past 20 years and have a lot of experience. We are a family-owned and operated small business located in Ohio. Our first website was Reel 2 Reel 2 CD and was mail order only. We have since grown into a brick-and-mortar walk-in business along with our mail-order services. We have studied similar services and built our business to be better than the rest. We have done our homework and believe you will not find a better media transfer service anywhere walk-in or mail order. If you see an area we could improve, please let us know so we can continue to be the best.

If your media is blank, we will refund the purchase price of that media. If it is damaged, we will fix it at no extra cost. If your media cannot be transferred, which is rare, we will refund your purchase price.
