AirLoom: Digitize VHS Tapes

Your memories deserve better than a cardboard box under the stairs.
AirLoom is a Mac app for digitising and restoring VHS, Video8, and camcorder footage. It was built in Scotland, for people who'd like to relive their wedding / first steps / hellish 1994 caravan holiday before the tapes complete their slow collapse into brown dust.

Plug in your capture device. Press record. That's it.
Behind the one-button simplicity is a restoration engine built and tuned specifically for difficult analogue footage, by people who've spent decades watching tapes go wrong.

What AirLoom does
- Captures straight from analogue sources, or imports files you've already rescued
- Irons out interlacing combs, flicker and wobble
- Strips noise and grain without softening the life out of things
- Brings faded and distorted colour back from the dead
- Sharpens honestly – tape still looks like tape, just less like it's been through a war
- Upscales to modern, high definition, digital files to keep and share forever.

What, so no AI?
Nope. The truth is that old analogue formats just don't carry enough detail for AI to work well — at best, you're going to get Uncle Jimmy looking like a melted waxwork, or at worst, a full-blown hallucinatory nightmare. AirLoom is built for more honest restoration, guided by a love of old analogue film.

Your footage stays yours.
Not keen on some mysterious server farm in Nevada getting a good long look at your precious family dance party? No, us neither. With AirLoom, your footage stays on your Mac.

One purchase. Yours forever.
No subscriptions, and free updates as they come out.
