At iMetaFilm we make it possible to discover your hidden gems.

Our innovative MetaViewer enables a preview of the film at a fraction of the price of a conventional scan. This allows you to assess the film’s content, quality and condition before proceeding to full digitisation.

Our processes do not require any film preparation whatsoever, meaning we take a film straight ‘from can to scan’. Our entire workflow has been designed around the safety and security of your film reels. We have developed the first ever patent-protected, completely sprocket-free system which ensures that your film – however old and fragile – is always scanned safely.

Each day we lose priceless content due to film decay. It is iMetaFilm’s mission to save the world’s moving image heritage before it is lost forever.

Our revolutionary scanning technology ensures that film collections can be unlocked and reactivated in the safest, most cost-effective way, and to the highest quality standards.

We capture images at 4K and above and our software-led approach to film digitisation ensures we’re able to provide the sharpest and steadiest image possible. Further restoration functions such as colour grading heighten the quality of the digitised films even further.

iMetaFilm have also developed pioneering software in terms of sound, becoming the first company in the world to retrieve optical sound from the film image itself. We are able to access the film’s soundtrack after just one scan, with no stress on the film whatsoever.

iMetaFilm’s unique and patented method of storing metadata allows films to become fully searchable, multi-lingual and accessible.

We can easily store subtitles, multiple languages, soundtracks, advertising and tagging information in the same image, allowing us to offer deep digitisation in a practical way.

This method of embedding metadata enables your films to realise their full potential and to be distributed to a global audience.
