Where to Develop 35mm Film: Online Processing Photo Labs
A Near Complete List of Film Scanning + Developing Photo Labs Near You
You don't need me to tell you that finding a quality lab that will stick around long enough for you to grow as a film photographer, let alone one nearby, is getting harder and harder these days. And while it’s impossible to list every single film lab out there, this is about as close to a definitive list as you’ll find: the usual suspects, hidden gems, and everything in between, divided by region but in no particular order.
I’m based in Los Angeles so naturally, I included more labs in my area. Still, always a good idea to check your neighborhood—just punch in "film lab" into Google Maps and you might be surprised. Also check your local CVS, Walmart, and Costco, as some surprisingly still develop film. And if don't see your local photo lab listed here, let me know and I will add it to the list.
