About SnapCache
Founded in Mason City, Iowa, SnapCache was built on one simple mission — to help families rediscover and protect the memories that matter most. After digitizing old photos and tapes for loved ones who had passed, I realized how powerful and meaningful this work truly is. What began as a small side project in my basement over 15 years ago has grown into a dedicated retail space designed to elevate your entire digitizing experience.
From film reels and VHS tapes to slides, negatives, and photos, we digitize each item with care using format-correct equipment and personal attention every step of the way. Whether you drop off locally or mail in from afar, you’ll always receive clear communication, fast turnaround, and the reassurance of knowing your memories are handled right here in North Iowa.

Ryan with SnapCache helped us preserve our family VHS videos and we have nothing but positive feedback! Great turn around time, professional and communicated efficiently! We are so excited to have these memories to be able to share with our families in the years to come!
Jodie D - Klemme, IA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My wife and I had looked for years for someone to take care of our Treasures and I was able to meet Ryan. He introduced himself and explained his process and had excellent communication throughout the process. Best of all, his work on bringing our old video cassettes back to life in a digital format was second to none and our family have greatly enjoyed looking back at these wonderful memories. We literally trusted him with some of our most valuable possessions and are grateful that he did such a great job! Highly recommended!
Tom O - Mason City, IA
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I took in about 17 high 8 tapes of my daughter's travel & HS basketball games from the late 1990's thru 2005. The price was great as was the quality. Ryan did a fantastic job of transferring them to a thumb drive as well as allowing me to copy them from a link in his cloud storage to my Google storage account. Had them all done in less than 2 weeks.
