Verified Customer from WALD ZHDecember 10, 2025

We are very satisfied with the result of the film digitization.

J. KuchenApril 28, 2025

I can highly recommend FilmFix. Since it was my first time having films digitized and I had very old 16mm and also 8mm films, I wanted a consultation first. Marco Hobi answered all my questions competently and quickly via email. The digitization was done in very good quality. I was impressed by how you were able to transfer films that are over ninety years old in such good quality. J. Kuchen

Very trustworthy and personable, clean and efficient handling. Very good work. 16 mm film and video cassettes now digital. I can recommend FilmFix to everyone. Thank you very much. S. Naef

Verified Customer from BaselDecember 16, 2021

Prompt service and good quality in transferring a 16mm film to a digital medium. I highly recommend FilmFix. HP

Verified Customer from Davos PlatzOctober 1, 2021

I can highly recommend the service from FilmFix. We found 16mm films and audio reel tapes in the company archive and had them digitized by Mr. Hobi and his team. Luckily, there are still companies like FilmFix that have taken on obsolete media and made their content accessible to us again. Thank you very much!
