How to send us film

Add a set of 6 × 4 printed photographs in gloss or matt, borderless or with a white border. These are real C-Type photographic prints made on light-sensitive paper, not inkjet. Printed-photograph orders always include sleeved negatives. For 120 film, printed photographs are six inches high and the width follows the film format.

Not sure which digital images / scans to choose?

Choose the type and resolution that suit what you plan to do.

JPEG and TIFF are digital image / scan types. Medium and High describe the resolution.

More resolution

High JPEG

Choose High for larger printed photographs, cropping or closer inspection.

Editing and archive

16-bit TIFF

Choose TIFF for maximum tonal information, heavier editing or an archival master.

Our usual recommendation

Medium JPEG is right for many customers.

We do not offer a low-resolution option. For 35mm, Medium JPEG is 3024 pixels wide—well suited to websites and printed photographs up to 12 × 8 inches, and nearly three times Instagram’s standard image width. Choose High JPEG when you need more resolution for larger printing or cropping, or 16-bit TIFF for greater editing flexibility.

Questions people ask us

Film developing prices FAQ

Do digital images / scan prices include developing?

Yes. Every digital images / scans price shown includes film developing. Develop-only prices are listed separately.

Should I choose Medium or High JPEG?

For 35mm, Medium JPEG is 3024 pixels wide and is well suited to websites and printed photographs up to 12 × 8 inches. High JPEG provides more resolution for larger printing, cropping or closer inspection.

What is a 16-bit TIFF?

A 16-bit TIFF retains substantially more tonal information for demanding editing and archival use, but the digital image / scan files are much larger.

Do these prices cover 35mm, 120 and disposable cameras?

Yes. The same developing prices apply. Customers with a disposable camera should use the dedicated disposable-camera guide near the top of this page.

Are sleeved negatives included?

Yes. The main digital images / scans prices include sleeved negatives. A lower price is shown when no negatives or printed photographs are required. Develop-only and printed-photographs-only orders include sleeved negatives.

What printed photographs can I add?

Add a set of 6 × 4 photographic prints for £8 to any digital images / scans option, or choose printed photographs without digital images / scans. Printed-photograph orders always include sleeved negatives. These are real C-Type prints made on light-sensitive photographic paper, not inkjet. Choose gloss or matt, borderless or with a white border. For 120 film, printed photographs are six inches high and their width follows the film format.

What are the fast-service cut-off times?

Same-day cut-off is 1pm. Medium JPEG and develop-only work can be ready in one hour when received by 4.30pm. High JPEG and all TIFF fast services take two hours and should be received by 3.30pm.
