Where to Develop 35mm Film: Online Processing Photo Labs
A Near Definitive List of Film Scanning + Developing Photo Labs Near You
You don't need me to tell you that finding a photo film processing lab that will stick around long enough for you to grow as a film photographer, let alone one nearby, is getting harder and harder by the day. 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 on the internet dot com: the usual suspects, hidden gems, and everything in between, divided by region but in no particular order.
I'm based in Los Angeles, California so naturally, I included more film labs in L.A. compared to other regions. Still, it's always a good idea to check your in neighborhood — punch in "film lab" on Google Maps and you might be surprised on what you'll find. Also check your local CVS, Walmart, and Costco, because some are surprisingly still developing film. And if don't see your local photo lab listed here, let me know and I will add it to the list.
