100% Recommend. Communication was great, all of my emails were answered in a timely fashion. Pricing was straight forward and reasonable, and the job I hired the team to do was received exactly as promised. Despite their giant portfolio of large companies, I felt my tiny fraction of their business was still important to them. This was my first project with DiJiFi, a small test run digitizing (20) 1950's black and white photos and (4) negatives, to see the quality in person that I've only read about until now. With over 100 years of family photos and negatives to digitize, I am thrilled to now have a trusted partner in this daunting task. Thank you DiJiFi Team. read more

Speedy reply. Easy to deal with. Never been happier. Would love to have this guy marry my sister.

I have yet to get my film developed here but I called with an unusual request to help a friend's personal art project and they were incredibly helpful and kind. They went out of their way to support my friend's art project, call me back when they realized they found a solution, and provided such friendly and wonderful customer service. Will definitely use their services once I am back in NY! 10/10 customer service. read more

This is a great company to deal with. I love everything about them. Super professional and thoughtful. Very fair pricing. Great service at every step of the way. It's like night and day dealing with DiJiFi and the 'national' companies I've dealt with in the past. I just love DiJiFi, will continue to use them exclusively until every last print we have is digitized, which could be a long, long time from now :) read more

There's a big box of photos in my house my family has owned since before I was born. A lot of snapshots of life before the advent of digital technology. For Christmas I thought it'd be a nice present to upload those pictures and return them to my mom and her siblings. At first I tried to scan them myself with the lifetime service of my college's library. I wouldn't advise anyone else to do that. It was not only daunting by the sheer amount of photos but also, standard commercial scanners aren't equipped to handle all ranges of color and light reflection. Ultimately I settled on finding a professional and Dijifi seems to have a corner on the market. I was skeptical along every step of the way because historically, businesses never have a good reputation when it comes to holding a monopoly. The receptionist was very informative and even recommended one of the cheaper services, as it fits better to my needs. The pictures came out to around 70 cents per photo, which I think is a fair price, and the quality on every photo was exactly like staring at the picture itself (something I couldn't achieve on my college's scanner). I had 600 photos, so that came out to pricey penny. But it was all worth it when I gave out all of the photos at my grandmother's funeral. read more

Fast. Friendly. Professional. Excellent. This is the only place that I could find between Philadelphia and New York City that could do a transfer from Sony HD Cam to multiple digital files with a same day turnaround. They will now be my first stop for all of my future digital video services. read more

DiJiFi is pretty awesome. I've had a video here for 20 years that I've never seen from an event I did. It was done on a very archaic format called U-Matic. There are only so many places that can digitize U-Matic tapes, and most of those are out of state and require mailing and so forth. So, I spent a lot of time researching which place I wanted to use. DiJiFi has a great reputation, and they were pretty close in Greenpoint. I didn't really know what to expect or how long it would take ... I just picked up my digitized video. WOW. First, their prices were reasonable, and competitive. Second, there were very easy to work with. And third, the turn around was relatively fast. Sean, the video tech, was great and very friendly. Another customer came in while I was waiting for my video to be transferred to my external hard drive. Their tech guy walked them through their project and the videos files, and explained things in lay man's terms for them. And, I've just viewed the output. It's awesome. They did a really top level job on transferring this. Honestly, when I called this morning to see if it was ready, the way that Sean was talking, I felt like they really took care in their work and were making sure things were just right. I definitely recommend DiJiFi. read more

The work completed by DIJIFI is outstanding! They retrieved four years of photos from flash drives that were 18-20 years old. The photos were pulled from the flash drives and placed on an easy to use thumb drive which allowed me to instantly view and start organizing photos for family and friends. This company is professional and personable and prompt. My drives were exported and grouped by the original files on the drives which permitted me to easily download and label. An excellent company that you can trust with your files and be assured that you will receive them back in a format that allows you accessibility. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I am super happy with the service from DiJiFi, if I could give them 10 stars, I would. I had 9 carousels of slides from a post-college trip 30 years ago. They picked them up from my home, did an excellent job digitizing them, then returned my slides in sealed plastic bags and a small box (I requested that they not return the carousels as they are too bulky to store). Now, I have excellent digital images of my trip and I still have the original slides, but in a much more compact form. Not only did they give me excellent service, they also gave me a great rate. I highly recommend them, and I would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

I'm a returning customer. Both experiences have been above and beyond any reasonable expectation. They took great care of my old family photo slides, and they very easily took care of some old minidiscs I found from many years ago. Their expertise, speed, and communication is a dream, really. I'll be using DiJiFi anytime I run into some old media that needs to get restored. read more

I had a very specific deadline for my VHS Tape to be converted by and they did an outstanding job!! The staff are all very nice and helpful with any and all questions and not only did they repair my tape, but it was ready for pickup after only 3 days of being dropped off. The email updates were also very helpful and I felt like my material was truly being handled with care. They clearly label the file in its own folder on your device and let you look at it to ensure you are completely satisfied. I will definitely be returning to them in the future even if it is a hike out there but it's worth it. If you want highly professional quality work then you won't be disappointed with their business. A++ all around. read more

DiJiFi - VHS Tape that needed to be converted to a digital file by a very specific deadline. - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Fantastic, fast service. I brought by 9 50-70 year old slides to get digitized for my grandfather's virtual memorial service. I was a bit last minute and needed them within 48 hours - they got it taken care of in less than 24 hours. The price was $28 for 9, so about $3 per slide, very fairly priced. The images came out beautifully and I'm so glad to have them in a format I can share with the whole family. read more

I had a set of very rare books that I needed scanned for a work project. The books required being unbound, scanned, and rebound. DiJiFi oversaw them entire process beginning to end, was always available for questions, used the most reputable book binder in the business--all things that gave me great confidence. It was obviously a super involved project and then BAM--right in the middle of the project COVID hit. The communication could not have been better and Jim not only got me the digital files by mailing me a USB to Washington, DC but he also personally drove the rebound books to their owner in Jersey City after going above and beyond to get the project finished safely. Could not be more grateful and would not hesitate to hire them for a project again. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Outstanding quality of digitization work and outstanding personal care for one's work. I highly recommend Dijifi for all photo and/or slide needs. read more

I went to this location to inquire about a simple CD to mp3 transfer for less than 2 minutes of audio. Not only was their quote ridiculously expensive and unfair, but the front desk staff was very rude and dismissive to boot. I'll never step into this location ever again. read more

As a filmmaker, I've been involved with film labs since 1978. Dijifi stands out as something of a relic from the glory days of another era, when expert knowledge and humility went hand in hand. I'm so impressed with the professionalism of Dijifi in all my interactions, up to and including their helpfulness with the follow-through even after having picked up a job. New York needs more people like the ones at Dijifi, experts who also have a commitment to truly being of service. read more

DiJiFi handled the conversion / transfer of my 33 year old 8mm sound wedding movies on time, at a reasonable cost and delivered to my office. Excellent service. Andriana, who took the order, was a pleasure to deal with. Doesn't get better than that. read more

If you value PRIVACY - go somewhere else!!! Worst Customer Service! I brought in childhood VHS tapes to convert to digital. Intake was fine, estimate was expensive, and turn around time was long but they were upfront about it. When the project was finally done the invoice reflected an additional tape that they said was miscounted during the intake. Except when I watched the tapes...that extra tape was actually SOMEONE ELSE'S home movie!!!! Watching someone else's family on vacation was certainly interesting but terrifying that this company didn't even know. Even worse, when I contacted them to inform them they didn't care at all that they were giving private and personal property to the WRONG PEOPLE, they just gave me the run around. It took several "customer service" people and almost two months to issue a small refund. Go somewhere else, your privacy is worth it! read more

These guys are the absolute best. They took my negatives that were 3 diff size and made great high quality scans for me

I am posting here because I found DiJiFi from Yelp and read other helpful reviews. It is good Karma to give back and contribute. I had 8 mini video (can't remember what they are called) and one VHS tape of me and my friends during our college days transferred to .mov I had an amazing experience with them. A bit expensive $300+ but great quality. Everyone there was professional and courteous. I even made some last minute changes. They used Uber Delivery to drop the finished products off to me so I didn't have to trek back there. Helpful hint was to take the 7 and get off at Vernon Blvd - Jackson Ave and walk across the bridge. read more

literally come here for all your video needs. you will not regret it! I wanted to gift my parents something that is memorable to them, and what memorable gift is there than old camcorder footage? I went to DiJiFi to convert the old footage into usb files and they were so professional and quick. My parents cried while looking at the old videos and memories that they thought were lost forever. Thank you so much for making it possible. read more

Although I'm still a fan - I would say be *sure* that you clarify the fees/costs with the team before an order. If not, your wallet may bleed a little. We provided two thumb drives. The reason was solely in case the first drive was full. However, they did duplicates of the same order on both drives and charged us double. The assumption was that we wanted the photos copied twice. So, again, just specify what you want and be very clear. read more

This place is truly a gem in NYC. I had 400+ photos that I needed digitized and DiJiFi handled the task with great communication, excellent customer service, and in the end, a quality product that will allow me to clear up more space in my apartment. From the moment you call them, they guide you through the process with ease. If you are on the fence about using them, jump right over. read more

It appears to me that Dijify is perfectly set up for the non-professional user, as can be seen by the excellent reviews. My experience with them was terrible. After calling them three times to set up test scans, I was told to simply come when it was convenient. Upon doing so, they did a few flatbed scans at the wrong settings, and then proceeded to charge me a $25 rush fee and failed to even subtract their posted discount for "no post-production/ICE". My lack of acceptance for this was simply ignored. An E-Mail the following day drawing their attention to this was responded to as follows: "We refuse to do any further business with you. I will refund your last order amount of ..." I do thousands of dollars in scanning each year, and have never experienced anything like this. I hope it is just an anomaly. (To help this obstinate owner understand, my problem is not that people were not nice (or patient), but rather that they were incompetent and unaccountable in this case.) read more

DiJiFi met and exceeded all of my expectations regarding the transfer of our family's Super 8 video (filmed in the 1950s) to a digital format. The customer service was exceptional each step of the way and I recommend them without reservation to anyone looking to save precious family videos and films. read more

I recently used DiJiFi to scan a number of old family photos (~150) and was very impressed by the service and the price. The staff was very communicative and easy to reach, delivery and pick up were timely and the scanned pictures came out very nicely. I didn't give them the last star for one reason and that is because their website may be a bit misleading about the services they provide. When you read the Photo Scanning section of their website, they seem to imply that they will always do some correcting of the photograph to make the scan better than the original. However, I saw none of that in the photos I got back. There were no "originals vs corrected" folders and I have been going through the photos myself and making color adjustments on my own sadly lacking photo editing software. I may be at fault for not specifying that was something I was looking for, but still feel like the website was misleading about this. Basically, expect very good and workable scans of your photos but you will not be blown away by any increase in quality. read more

I recently used their services to digitize 3 VHS cassettes. Customer service here is prompt and super-friendly. I sent an enquiry Sunday night and received a nice response detailing their service early the next day. The facility is a bit of a trek to get to, but was worth the trip. My job was finished on schedule and quality seems to be excellent. Would repeat. Keywords: VHS, DVD, Digital, Convert, Conversion, Antonio Krastev read more

I am responsible for a tape library of about 1200 items of various formats from VHS to Beta 60, to DV-Cam, etc, and shopped around for quotes from the various NYC digitizers. These guys came in way below their competition so I was a little hesitant at first but since my budget was my primary concern I went with them. I went by their shop and saw their operation and spoke with Jesse and Matt and gave them the green light. We broke it into two batches over a 1 year period and I couldn't have been happier with the results, their professionalism, the quality, and their customer service. Processing time on the first batch was about a month, the second maybe 2. Invoicing was easy and everything worked out well. My main challenge was in getting nearly 10TB of data from them but I ended up just drop shipping 2 and 3TB drives to them which they sent back carefully with my order. they hung onto my data for as long as i needed to ingest it and do a QA check. Great guys to work with. Highly recommended. read more

I've had photos scanned in the past by these guys and recently just had some old 8mm film reels, ranging from the late '50s to the early '70s, digitized by these guys. I was super impressed with the HD transfer that came back. I couldn't believe 55 year old footage could possibly look that good. Matt was very patient with my questions regarding the transfer and file format. He also allowed me to have a thumb drive mailed to them to store the films on, because I couldn't get one before the scheduled pickup. Price was very fair (especially with the combined Yelp deal). However, seeing actual footage of my grandparents and other family members who are long since passed, was priceless. If you have any films laying around, they'll be in good hands with Matt and his staff. read more

So happy to have found them. I have shoebox filled with old Super 8 film and haven't had a chance to see this stuff for years. I found Dijifi, via searching on the internet and glad to have found them. With a few questions asked in a message, they responded quickly with answers. Although I am not a professional film maker, they treated me and my little project with respect. Can't wait to work on more projects. Thanks Dijifi, much appreciated. This is one of many little films http://youtu.be/OQP7eX7j-gs. read more

These guys seriously rock!! Walking into their office is like entering a geek's paradise. I found a huge stack of old 8mm films in my parent's basement from when my mom was a kid. I stumbled across DiJiFi while looking for a place to convert them. The process takes a while, so know that going in. But it is really just a testament to how popular they are. I got the video back (on my hard drive) in time for the holidays and it was incredible. My family screens films with a projector for Thanksgiving and this year we watched one of my mom when she was 5, from over 50 years ago! I can't even begin to describe how cool that it is. All in all, the service cannot be beat. Folks there are friendly and attentive and happy to tell you about the process and how everything works. The quality of service and the excellence of the finished product don't come cheap but are worth every penny. Thanks for your hard work! read more

I recently had a project at work that needed 140+ video tapes to be converted to digital video files. After scouring the 'net looking for companies in the greater NYC area to do this work, I settled on DiJiFi in Brooklyn. Basically every part of my experience with them was outstanding. I delivered the tapes to them in Brooklyn, sorted and labeled, and reviewed everything with them one-on-one. There was a line out the door when I arrived, but they expediently worked through the line and took their time with everyone. Their studio surprised me, as it's much bigger than I had expected, and filled with a gazillion geeky tools and machines. These guys are serious pro's. Long story short, they converted 140+ mixed video tapes (VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, etc, etc) to digital files, named and organized them onto an external hard drive (which they can provide, or you can). The files were all named according to our labels/inventory sheet, and any extra blank space on tapes was edited out. They came in just under budget, and took an extra day or two, which in the end didn't matter too much as the tapes had been sitting in boxes for 15-20 years. In the end, I was very, very pleased with their work. Not only would I use them again, but I've recommended them to friends/clients already (and we just sent them a big box of audio tapes that need to be converted to mp3's). If you need any type of digital transfer/conversion (on audio, video, photos, etc) these guys are professionals. They will deliver what they promise, do it at a fair price, and will be pleasant to work with. read more

I had my parents' entire super 8 film collection from the mid-1960's transferred onto a hard drive by these guys and I could not be happier with the price, the quality and the level of customer service that DiJiFi offered. I tried to do it myself with an old projector and video camera but found a huge loss of quality not being handled by the professionals. But I was curious how they did it and so I went to their lab in Greenpoint and they physically show me step by step how they do it and I was very impressed. I paid about $400 to get 20 rolls of film (1,500 ft) transferred. I called several places in the NYC area and they were the cheapest by far. Several people suggested I go to PAC Color in Manhattan and they quoted me $620 for the same job. And I didn't want to mail all those home movies to some unknown company far away. This was a completely good experience; no problems, no issues. read more

These folks do a great job and really care about the work that they are doing. Not only was I treated with the utmost respect and my detailed requests listened to and followed but while I was waiting I was able to hear them doing the same thing for many people, even reaching out rather than being prompted to do so. Its a hassle for me to get here from Manhattan but I won't go anywhere else because they hooked me with great work and service! read more

This place is much larger than I expect. Easy to get there too. There are also plenty of parking if driving. Even my job is really small and with various types of source, it was perfect and in a timely manner as promised. They called me with some issues with my slides. My job was kind of a rush job, they called me when the job is done. I noticed a lot of reviews are from personal jobs. Mine was a commercial job, I was happy too. read more

Thank You. If every company was as professional and courteous as DiJiFi we wouldn't need Yelp. I had twenty years of different format videos to be transferred to a hard drive. I walked into the office and was treated like I was bringing a child to the doctor. Kind and courteous reception. Understanding that they were taking possession of twenty years of memories and assured me the transfer would be better then the original. Not only did DiJiFi transferred all of the videos, they called me to tell me 3 of my vcr tapes were just children TV shows. In addition they filed all of the videos chronologically. I just plugged the hard drive into the computer and spent the last four hours going through videos. Awesome job. read more

Excellent service, and seemingly excellent transferals. I gave then a variety of different media,and they transferred them perfectly to a hard drive. I would definitely use them again. Also, they didn't charge me for transferring two tapes that were blank, they just marked them as blank. I really appreciate that. Finally, they accurately labeled both the files and even the tapes themselves, making it very easy to tell what was what. As others say on here: if everyone were as professional as this company, the world would be a lot better off. read more

A few years ago, I gathered some old family photos with the intention of getting them transferred to digital media. Of course, I procrastinated and never seemed to get around to the task at hand. I searched for companies that specialized in transferring stills to digital and stumbled upon the Yelp reviews for DiJiFi. I just received the second of two batches of photos and DiJiFi did a phenomenal job!! Both of my jobs were completed within a week and some of my pictures required restoration. The staff is friendly, attentive and dedicated to their craft. Protip: Follow DiJiFi on Facebook or Twitter and you can tap into some pretty good discounts. I would give DiJiFi my highest recommendation. read more

I have been using Dijifi for about 2 years. This has been for scanning medium format film, digitizing old 8 mm movies and transferring old video tapes to disc. I have always been impressed by there great attitude and skill as well as their diversity of services. They are good people with a great local business. read more

Let me get my complaint out of the way. It was a hike for me to get to DiJiFi. I know now that they have a service to pick up the film. I wish I had known that at the time. Other than that, I am so happy with the service I got from DiJiFi. I am only on the East Coast part of the time and they were very patient with me. I had a range of media to convert digitally, VHS, film, 8mm, and some other cassette I couldn't identify. The 8mm film was shot by my mother in 1969 and I can't believe they turned out so well! I had 12 reels of 8mm, and at first, only transferred one reel. The DiJiFi people were very cooperative looking over the film and helping me to assess whether to convert the remaining reels. When I was in a rush to complete some digitizing from multiple media, DiJiFi was very helpful. They were easy to negotiate not only a acceptable time table, and also a reasonable fee for this rush job. My editor was very happy with the results by DiJiFi and to receive the digital feed on time. read more
