The world changes so quickly, and time moves fast. It seems like just yesterday you said “I do”, and here you are celebrating anniversaries of many years spent together. You watched your children and grandchildren take their first steps, and now these grown young adults are driving off to college.
You’ve collected decades of your family memories. The fun times, the sentimental, the embarrassing – all treasured memories that you deeply cherish. Our goal is to help your family relive, share and celebrate the special moments in life that deserve to be preserved.
For 20 years, YesVideo has helped families protect and share generations of memories. We are the largest and most trusted transfer service worldwide, and believe in developing a service that we would trust to preserve our own special memories.
YesVideo is dedicated to:
Our founder, Sai-Wai Fu, had a visionary concept to enable consumers to view and enjoy their analog memories online, which we called webcasting back then.
We started by digitizing videotapes to CDs at our processing facility in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Recognizing the lack of online business at the time, we knew a retail supply chain was necessary to reach consumers.
In May 2001, we took our first step into retail with independent camera stores through Kodak Processing Labs, and then expanded to large retail chains through Kodak and Fujifilm.
Rapid expansion led us to servicing over 25k retail locations by 2004, including Walgreens, Target, Rite Aid, and more through Kodak/Qualex and Fujifilm’s logistics.
In 2003, YesVideo expanded to transfer movie film, slides, and prints to CD and DVD. As YesVideo grew, Kodak/Qualex was enabled to capture on site using YesVideo's platform, eliminating the need to send customer media on an additional journey to the processing lab.
In the same year, YesVideo launched minilabs behind the Geek squad desk in key Best Buy stores, which ultimately found its best fit in Ritz Camera stores.
In 2002-2006, YesVideo expanded globally through licensing their patented technology in Canada and Japan, as well as partnering with key retailers in Asia, Europe, and beyond.
We opened logistics in Puerto Rico in 2006 to service Walgreens and other retailers.
In 2009, we started allowing customers to prepare their orders at home and drop them off at one of over 30,000 retail locations for processing. We also opened a second processing facility in on the east coast.
That same year, we launched our cloud storage platform, MemorySafe, which enabled private online access for viewing and sharing of videos and photos.
MemorySafe was an add-on feature to DVD offering, and it was available at Bartell Drugs, CVS/Pharmacy, and Walgreens stores nationwide.
In 2010, YesVideo began working directly with major retailers such as Costco, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Best Buy and others, servicing approximately 85% of photo counters in the US.
That same year, we launched HD video to Blu-ray conversion service and MemoryEditor, a feature of its online archival service MemorySafe, allowing users to mix video segments and create custom video collages that can be published onto DVDs and shared online.
In July 2011, we launched a DTC business with 34k retail locations, building our brand as a stand-alone entity.
With new investment in the company, and a new leadership team, YesVideo was able to deepen relationships with national retailers and build new products to help people share their personal video and photo memories in the cloud.
YesVideo had several innovated product offerings between 2010 and 2016, such as an innovation award at Rootstech, Facebook Timeline integration, an iOS app to stream transferred videos, and a Snapshot feature, etc.
By 2014, we had served over 8 million families in the past 15 years of helping to preserve memories.
In 2018, YesVideo was invited to pilot a new partner program with Google Photos, allowing consumers to have their newly digitized memories seamlessly added to their Google Photos account.
As of 2019, YesVideo has helped unlock the memories of 12 million families.
YesVideo has partnered with the world's leading retailers, find our services at:
YesVideo also licenses our technology internationally, with operations in Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Portugal, and the Netherlands.
YesVideo is a featured product partner on Military Makeover airing on Lifetime TV! Military Makeover is America’s leading reality show that focuses on hope and lending a helping hand here on the home front to members of our military and their loved ones. We joined with Photo Repair Pro to create The Memory Makeover Project on the show to help families preserve their fading photo, film, and video memories.
YesVideo is on the leading edge of technology and holds over 16 patents that cover everything from processing, editing, and scene detection to scanning and composing. Providing high quality, publish-ready digitized content via the cloud with Google Photos is making everyone’s photo timeline accessible at the touch of a button.
