Microfilm & Microfiche Conversion to Digital Services
All Types of Microfiche or Microfilm Conversion to Digital Format
Microfilm
Digital Records Management offers expert microfilm conversion to digital services in Van Nuys, Canoga Park, and surrounding areas in Los Angeles. Whether you have historical data, archived records, or sensitive data, we can convert your microfilm, microfiche, or aperture cards into fully searchable digital files.
Typically, we convert microfilm images to PDF, TIFF, or JPEG—or any other digital format that fits your organization’s needs. We can even improve image quality during the scanning process, making them clean enough for OCR (Optical Character Recognition). This means your digitized documents are not just images—they can be used for full text searches.
After we scan your microfilm or microfiche, your digitized files can be delivered on CDs, DVDs, external hard drives, or via our secure DRM-SecureFile cloud system, making access easy and secure.
Our high-end scanning equipment and processes ensure your microfilm scanning project is smooth, cost-effective, and handled with care. We specialize in the digitization of all major formats including:
- Microfilm (16mm or 35mm roll film) – Ideal for archiving important information or historical data
- 3M cartridge film – Easily digitized into searchable computer files
- Microfiche (jacketed, COM, aperture cards) – We provide complete microfiche conversion to digital
- Aperture cards – Perfect for engineering drawings, plans, or large documents
Each film or fiche is scanned with precision, ensuring high image quality and long-term digital storage benefits.
Our Microfilm Digitization Process Includes:
- Despeckling: Removing isolated speckles from an image file to enhance readability
- Annotations: Adding custom graphics or notes to enhance documents
- Deskewing: Aligning images that are slanted or misaligned
- Image rotation and cropping: Manual or automated trimming for a clean and professional output
