Album Scanning: Utilizing patented, touchless technology, the company can capture images directly off the pages of a photo album without requiring the customer to remove the photos, mitigating the risk of damage to delicate or adhered prints.
Digital Media Transfer: The service also converts content stored on older digital storage devices, including DVDs, MiniDVDs, CDs, VCDs, memory cards (e.g., SD, SM, MMC, CF, Memory Stick, xD), and USB drives, primarily focusing on media that may have been previously digitized by YesVideo or its retail partners.

This online platform allows users to view, download, and share their digitized content across various devices. The company has a focus on cloud-based accessibility and sharing.
Google Photos Integration: A unique offering of YesVideo is its capability to directly save transferred memories into the customer???s Google Photos account, making it the only media transfer service with this specific integration.
USB Combo Drive: Customers have the option to add a USB drive to their order. This physical format allows for convenient storage, duplication, and backup of the digital files, and enables sharing without an internet connection.
Personalized DVD: An optional deliverable that transforms the raw digital content into a polished DVD experience. These DVDs are enhanced with features such as automatic smart chapters, professionally edited highlight videos, and personalization options, including a custom title, theme, and background music (where applicable).

Upon receipt at the production facility, every piece of original media is tagged with a unique barcode and tracked meticulously throughout the entire digitization process. The company emphasizes that all work is handled by its dedicated team within the USA, underscoring its commitment to security and quality control. The typical turnaround time for an order is approximately three to four weeks from the time the media is received at the facility.
