About Us

Hi, I'm John, the founder of PhotoCoffer, a film transfer service & media conversion service. The inspiration behind starting this media conversion business stems from a conversation I had with a friend of mine named Eric. Eric shared a story that struck a chord deep within me. In 2017, Eric's father's house was tragically consumed by the Santa Rosa Tubbs fire, and amidst the devastation, the loss that affected Eric the most was the destruction of generations' worth of family pictures. He expressed how those irreplaceable memories held immense sentimental value.

Eric's story made me realize that while insurance can cover the material aspects of our lives such as cars and homes, it falls short when it comes to preserving the priceless moments captured in family memorabilia. The realization that family memorabilia included in photographs, VHS tapes, and film reels hold an immeasurable value beyond any monetary worth inspired me to create a solution.

At PhotoCoffer, we specialize in digitizing family memorabilia to ensure their preservation for future generations. Our high-quality services cover photographs, tapes, film, and more. We provide a secure and reliable way to safeguard cherished memories. With a background in the armed services, our commitment to attention to detail and dedication is unwavering. Join us in creating a digital legacy that lasts. Welcome to PhotoCoffer.
