About

Our Founder, Chris Coppolo

Coppolo Studios is a family-owned and operated digital transfer service based in Miami, Florida. Founded by Chris Coppolo, who brings over 35 years of experience in the film and video industry, our studio blends professional expertise with the personal touch of a family business.

We specialize in transforming your most precious home movies, videotapes, and audio recordings into high-quality digital formats that are easy to view, share, and preserve for generations to come. From 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film reels to VHS, Hi8, MiniDV, audio cassettes, and more, every format is treated with the same level of care and precision.

Unlike many transfer houses, we never outsource any part of our process. Every stage—inspection, cleaning, repair, transfer, enhancement, and packaging—is performed in-house at our studio. This ensures complete quality control and allows us to maintain the highest standards while safeguarding your irreplaceable memories.

Personal Service, Not a Warehouse Experience
What sets Coppolo Studios apart is the personal touch we bring to every project. We’re not a big-box operation with a warehouse full of employees where your memories become just another order number—and where calling means endless hold music instead of a real person. With us, you always get direct, one-on-one service. Have a question before, during, or after your project? Call us—we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Because digitizing family memories isn’t just another task, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime investment in your family’s history.

If you live in the South Florida area, we offer convenient pick-up and delivery service right to your door. For customers outside our local area, simply ship your home movies, videotapes, and audio recordings to our studio by mail, and we will carefully digitize and enhance them so you can easily share your memories with family and friends.

    Restore and Transfer

    We clean, restore, digitize, and enhance your memories with expert care. Our process goes beyond simple transfers—we clean, remove dust, correct colors, reduce noise, and enhance details. Even if your video or audio tapes have mold and mildew, or the tape has been cut, we carefully clean and restore them before digitizing. From decades-old film to fragile audio tapes, we bring new life to your family treasures.

Whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, computer, or TV, you can relive and share your memories anytime, anywhere.

    Here’s astep-by-step packing guide:

    You don’t need to buy a special box from us. Just follow these simple steps:

    1. Choose a sturdy box – Use any good-quality shipping box that’s large enough for your items without being oversized.

    2. Wrap each item – Protect tapes, reels, or records with bubble wrap, packing paper, or even soft cloths to prevent movement and scratches.

    3. Fill empty space – Use packing peanuts, air pillows, or crumpled paper to keep everything snug and secure.

    4. Label your items (optional) – If you’d like, you can place a note on each video tape, film reel, or audio media with a title or description. When we transfer that item, we’ll use the title you provide so your digital files are clearly named.

    5. Include your order form – Download and print our Customer Order Form from the Coppolo Studios website. Use it to check off the items you’re sending and provide your contact details and return shipping address. Place the completed form inside your box, and be sure to keep a copy for your own records.

    6. Ship to our studio – Drop your package at any USPS, UPS, or FedEx location and send it to Coppolo Studios.
