Stephanie Csornok, owner of Digital Downsizing, is in the business of preserving history — transforming aging, analog media into digital formats that last forever. Whether it’s old photos, slides, 8 or 16 millimeter film, vinyl records or even 8-tracks, Stephanie handles it all with a professional approach and an unwavering commitment to quality.
“I take in pretty much every form of analog media,” said Stephanie, sharing her wide range of services. Stephanie’s meticulous attention to detail and professional expertise allow her to deliver exceptional results even in challenging situations. “I never give up on a project,” she said. “Even when the media is in poor condition, I always do my best to recover it. I’ll always give it the old ‘college try’ — I’m not one to quit easily.”
She’s also passionate about sounding the alarm of how urgent it is to preserve these memories before it’s too late. “Everything analog has an expiration date,” she explained. “VHS tapes degrade by 10 to 20 percent every decade, while slides and photos are susceptible to microbial damage over time. Even 8 millimeter film can develop what’s called vinegar syndrome, where the acetate breaks down and starts to rot.” Stephanie urges people in the Black Hills to digitize their memories sooner rather than later. “Time is ticking, and the sooner people get their media digitized, the better.”
For Stephanie, Digital Downsizing is more than just a service — it’s a way to help people safeguard irreplaceable memories. With her dedication and technical know-how, she ensures that every project is handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Whether it’s a box of old photos or a stack of deteriorating tapes, Stephanie is your trusted expert for making sure these memories are preserved for future generations.
