In the age of digital dominance, our most cherished memories often reside in the analog realm—printed photos, film reels, and videotapes capturing moments of our lives. Recognizing the importance of preserving these treasures in the digital age, Fujifilm has introduced a groundbreaking service under its Printlife branding: Capture Canada.

Digitizing Analog Treasures

Capture Canada offers Canadian residents the opportunity to seamlessly digitize their prints, film, slides, and videotapes by simply mailing them in. This innovative service caters to the diverse needs of consumers, providing a hassle-free solution to transform analog memories into high-quality digital files.

Simple Process, Remarkable Results

The process is straightforward: customers place an order on the Capture Canada website, selecting from various packages and service options tailored to their needs. Once the order is placed, customers package their items and send them via Canada Post to the Printlife team. Utilizing their expertise, the Printlife staff works their magic to digitize the materials, enhancing the images while preserving their authenticity.

Enhanced Convenience

Capture Canada prioritizes convenience for its customers. Regardless of the package chosen, the digitized files are seamlessly integrated into the user's Google Photos library. Additionally, customers have the option to receive physical media, such as a USB stick or DVD, for an extra fee. Fujifilm recommends including a prepaid label in the package for easy return shipping, ensuring a hassle-free experience from start to finish.

Comprehensive Services

Capture Canada isn't limited to prints and slides; it also accepts various film and video formats, including VHS, MiniDV, and more. The service goes beyond mere digitization, offering repairs for damaged videotapes and film reels as part of the process. With options for continuous playback, DVD chapters, and personalized trailers, Capture Canada ensures that every memory is preserved and presented with care.

Transparent Pricing

Fujifilm has streamlined the pricing structure, making it transparent and accessible to all. Prices start at $39.99 CAD for up to 50 prints or slides, with additional charges based on the length of film reels or videotapes. The straightforward pricing model ensures that customers know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees or surprises.

Looking Ahead

While Capture Canada currently operates independently, Fujifilm remains open to future collaborations with brick-and-mortar partners to enhance the service further.

Additionally, the company continues to explore opportunities for expanding the range of services and options available to customers, ensuring that Capture Canada remains at the forefront of analog-to-digital conversion.

Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future
