Printed photographs
Choose the size and finish.
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.
Everyday digital images / scans
Medium JPEG
A detailed, versatile scan. 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.
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.

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.

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.
