What customers say
PhotoHQ is the best! I use them consistently for developing and scanning film — 35mm and medium format, BW and color. The small team is kind and knowledgeable. The develop and scan quality is professional (standard scans are good enough to see nice grain, but you can pay extra for raw and higher resolution).
Had the nicest experience dropping off my film and chatting with the associate. My film was all developed in only 1 day at a good rate, especially compared to other stores in Seattle. The quality was great too!
Amazing! Dropped my photos off at 11:30am and had 7 rolls of film developed and digitally sent to me by 3pm. I couldn’t believe it! Also so much cheaper than all the other places that quoted me. Will definitely be doing all my photo developing from here. Thank you to Jeremy (I believe that was his name) who helped me.
I <3 Photo HQ!!! And I recommend them to all. Super convenient to not have to go down to Seattle to get my film developed. They've gotten scans back to me same day, are pretty affordable, and held onto my negatives beyond 30 days after I forgot to pick them up. Thank you Photo HQ!
