That box of tapes
isn't getting any younger.

VHS degrades a little more every year. I transfer your tapes, slides, and photos to USB right here in Carroll County. Hand them to me in the morning, watch them on your TV that night.

Book a drop-off

Three steps. That's it.

1

Bring your tapes

I'm in a different town each morning. Find your closest spot, hand me the bag. Takes two minutes, no appointment needed.

2

I transfer them

Everything stays right here in the county. I do it myself—no warehouse, no strangers, no assembly line.

3

Pick them up

You get your originals back plus a USB you can plug into any TV or computer. As fast as the same evening.

Where to find me

Same spot, same day, every week. Pick whatever's closest.

You've probably looked into the mail-in services.

They want you to ship your only copy across the country

These are irreplaceable. Grandma's 80th birthday, the kids' first steps, Christmas 1993. There's one copy. Putting it in a FedEx box feels wrong because it is wrong.

Then you wait 4-6 weeks and wonder

Where's my stuff? Who's handling it? Are they watching my family's home movies in a warehouse? With me, you get them back yourself—as soon as the same evening. From the same person you handed them to.

Then the bill has extras you didn't expect

Cloud subscription. Enhancement fee. Shipping both ways. The "$9 per tape" in the ad turns into $35. My price is what you see below. USB drive included. No account to cancel later.

Hi, I'm Stephen.

I grew up in Carroll County and went to Carroll Community College. After years in tech, I kept running into the same problem: people with boxes of irreplaceable family tapes who didn't trust shipping them across the country to strangers.

So I built Rewound. When you hand me your tapes at the Westminster pickup, I'm the one who digitizes them. When you pick them up the following week, you're getting them back from the same person. No warehouse. No assembly line. Just a neighbor with the right equipment and the time to do it right.

Your memories never leave Carroll County.

Questions you probably have

What if a tape is damaged or won't play?

I'll text you a photo and let you decide. If I can't transfer it, you don't pay for that tape. I won't throw anything away without asking.

What's actually on the USB drive?

MP4 video files, one per tape. Named clearly so you can find them. Plug it into your TV's USB port, a laptop, anything. No special software needed.

I don't know how many tapes I have or what format they are

Bring what you've got. I'll count them, identify them, and give you an exact price before you leave anything with me. No surprises.

What if I need to change my count or cancel?

Show up with more tapes? I'll adjust the price on the spot. Need to cancel? Just let me know. No penalty, no hassle.

Let's get those tapes off the shelf.

Pick a day, tell me what you're bringing. Two minutes from now you'll have a time and place to show up. That's all it takes.

Select a drop-off time, then a pickup time after it.

Bring more tapes than expected? I'll adjust the price when you show up. Fewer? I'll refund the difference. No risk either way.
