This family-owned business is hands down the best film photo lab in NYC. I've been coming here for over five years to have my film developed and scanned, and every visit has been consistently excellent. From the moment I walk in the door, I feel genuinely welcomed. On my most recent visit, I had the chance to speak with the owner, Nisha, who couldn't have been kinder or more warm. She even surprised me with a delicious bottle of wine as a thank-you for being a long-time customer, which honestly says everything about how much they value the people who support them. Their turnaround time is always fast, and I love that they use WeTransfer to deliver scans directly to my email. The quality of their work is remarkable, and I truly can't imagine trusting my film to any other lab. Thank you, Bleeker Digital Solutions, and congratulations on 26 years in business. Well deserved. read more

Unfortunately, my experience here was disappointing. I found Anil Kumar, the owner, to be unprofessional and dismissive from the start. His tone was demanding, and I felt spoken down to rather than treated respectfully as a customer. After doing some research, I learned he has owned this business for 38 years, which made the lack of professionalism even more surprising. The pricing also raised concerns. The costs were very high, and the math did not seem to add up. It felt as though some customers are being overcharged. I also noticed inconsistent service--one individual regularly drops off large amounts of film and receives it almost immediately, while others wait an excessive amount of time, even when their orders appear to be ready. That said, the staff members working here are clearly hardworking, and the cashier was kind and respectful. I appreciate the effort of the employees and do not fault them. While this place benefits from its tourist location and social media attention, my personal experience did not reflect the hype. With improved professionalism, fair pricing, and more consistent turnaround times, this business could be much better. As it stands, I would rate it 2/5. read more

I always make it a point to bring my film in physically since I love chatting with everyone behind the counter. I cannot say enough good about this business, and how consistent they are. I typically send my film in for digital scans only and to always get my scans back two days later. Everything about this business is great, I would strongly recommend them. read more

This is one of the few true pro-level film labs left in the city, and they've consistently delivered great results with both my C-41 and E-6 rolls. The owners are wonderful to work with, and they've even turned around rush jobs when I needed them. Absolutely worth recommending. They also handle specialty scans, including wide 35mm panoramas from cameras like the Hasselblad XPan. read more

Do NOT go here for a passport picture. Photographer is extremely, extremely rude. Such a shame because they develop good film.

Best film lab in the whole east coast. Level of professionalism, and careful care with your film is unmatched. You couldn't find this customer service anywhere else from NY TO MIAMI! Also amazing with framing prints, making prints and of course developing and scanning film! They also have 120 & 35mm film for any last minute needs. read more

Excellent Service and Very friendly staff. The work is first rate. They have been doing printing for me from FILM and they get it SPOT ON! Wonderful to find a lab that works so well with actual FILM in the city. A gem to discover! read more

Wishing this family-owned lab a Happy 25th Anniversary!! I've been coming to get my photos developed at Bleeker Digital solutions for 6 years now, ever since Covid, when they were one of the only places open! I continue to make the commute from Queens into the city just to get my photos developed by them. They are simply the best! The owners are always so kind and helpful! The quality of the photos, affordability and quickness in which they are able to get them back to me is also a major factor on why I will keep coming back for years to come! If you're looking for somewhere to get your disposable cameras developed, I highly recommend this place! read more

I've been shooting film for years, and this is the lab I've ever trusted with my rolls. I've been going here for 3 years, and the team here genuinely cares about film - every scan is crisp, beautifully toned, and true to the character of each stock. Turnaround times are quick (3 days max), communication is always clear, and they treat even the most beat-up rolls with care. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or just starting, this place makes you feel like part of a creative community. Every time I get my scans back, it reminds me why I love shooting film in the first place. I highly recommend it. Your photos (and your heart) will thank you. read more

It's hard to find a friendly mom and pop business of any type in NYC that does outstanding professional work, but to find a film processing place like that is near impossible. Bleeker Digital Solutions always delivers. They're one of the few places that will develop E6 processing for your slide film and will also scan and email you your files if you'd like. I've been going to them for years and have never been disappointed. read more

I had a great first experience with Bleeker! I've been using disposable cameras over the past few months and needed to get them developed. After reading reviews, it seemed like coming here would be faster and yield better results than dropping my cameras at a CVS or Walgreens. The reviews were right! I dropped my cameras off on Monday and got my photos emailed to me by Wednesday afternoon, just as they promised! You can also pay extra for the film and print copies, which I decided to do. The development quality speaks for itself! You can tell they do a great job, I'm glad I didn't chance it by going to a CVS or Walgreens. One note - the store is tiny and has two registers. Because of this, two customers are allowed in the store at a time. Both times I visited this week there were short lines, so just be prepared for the possibility of that! read more

Bleeker Digital Solutions - Fuji-film disposable camera film developed at Bleeker Digital! - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - New York, New York

Bleeker is a family-run lab that I've been using for film development now for 10 years. Many photographers in this city consider them family. They are the nicest people in the business. The service is great, not one complaint after dropping off thousands of rolls. I would highly recommend them for their services. read more

I've used many film labs in NYC and Bleeker Digital really is the best. Their development and scans are amazing and consistent. The quality of their TIFF scans are excellent! They are a family-owned business and extremely helpful and knowledgeable with all my questions. Whenever I am there they are always courteous and professional. I am a fitness and fashion photographer and I rely on them for my business. They make me feel at home and NYC is lucky to have them. read more

Bleeker street Digital Solutions beats all other photo shops in the area! Bleeker Street Digital was able to seamlessly develop photos from my most recent vacation; taken on a Fuji Film underwater camera! For $15 they will ship your prints back to you. I also opted for uploads of my images, emailed back to me within two days! Next time I have a disposable camera that needs to be developed I will use their mail in service, or drop off again :) read more

Such speedy photo processing!! It was $38 to develop two disposable cameras of 27 photos each with emailed scans - which is a bit more than what I'm used to in Brooklyn but it's a prime location and they do things so fast. Big respect! read more

Picked up my developed film and upon reviewing at home I noticed that they missed a scan so I brought back the negatives showing which one exactly was missed. They claimed they need the envelope because it had pertinent information on it. Instead of apologizing and trying to rectify the situation immediately they made it difficult for me and said to pick it up again the next day. It would've appreciated if they fixed it right then and there versus making me come back the next day. Waste of my time. read more

Been going here since I moved to lower Manhattan 5 years ago - they do an amazing job and are always quick and reliable.

Thank you to Bleeker Digital for giving me the best scans the city has to offer! I had tried a few other places and none of them even came close to the level of quality, care, and friendliness found in your store. Your employees have shown me where I went wrong, have helped my insane requests, and made me feel like a professional photographer. Anytime I see someone I know who is interested in getting film, one of the things I need to tell them is to get their film scanned at Bleeker Digital on 85 Kenmare St. read more

Very nicely developed photos with a quick turnout rate (2 days). $18.5 for a colored roll! read more

Bleeker is a family-run business that is trusted by many professional photographers for developing, scanning and printing their work. If you are into film photography, there is no better place in the city for taking care of your processing needs. The service is honest and friendly, and they generally accommodate your requests for faster processing with a smile. The prices are on the middle to higher end relative to other labs, but the quality of their services is unquestionably the best. I have not been doing much on film lately but whether it is 35 or 120 film, I will be sure to return to Bleeker. read more

Absolutely don't go here unless u are desperate. way to expensive. cheaper places near by in Chinatown for much better prices.

The family & team at Bleeker Digital are simply the best at what they do. I had several negative... no pun intended... experiences at other labs throughout the city from processing to customer service and the folks at Bleeker provide great customer service, professional and trustworthy processing and scanning across the board. If you're a film shooter, professional or hobbyist, it's so crucially important to be able to trust your film lab. The things you create are completely in their hands. Bleeker has never let me down. They've been my choice lab for two years so far, hundreds of rolls, and hopefully thousands more. Highly recommended! read more

My go-to shop for film development! I've been going here for the past 5 years to develop my 35mm photos and the staff is always so friendly. On top of that, the photos are produced quickly and smoothly. I've also taken my passport photo here and it came out really professional and beautiful! Keep up the good work! read more

Have been coming back to Bleeker Digital for 35mm film development, scans and prints since 2021. It's great quality every time, always fast and friendly. I like that I can send the rolls via post and get them sent back to me, it's so easy. I also recommended this store to all my friends who shoot film. read more

Please note website indicates this business can perform baby passports photos, even references specific photo requirements for babies less than 6 months. However, to be clear the business is only capable of/willing to photograph babies who can sit up independently (therefore at earliest 6-9 months), not all babies. I was informed this misunderstanding was my own fault for not calling to clarify what was advertised on their website, rather than their misleading reporting of their own services. Please modify your website so that it accurately indicates what services you are capable of/comfortable performing as a customer should not have to call in order to confirm what is reported as possible is in fact true before patronizing your business. Really disappointing customer service and overall experience. read more

Been getting my film developed and scanned at Bleeker for a few years now and have always received amazing service and results. The people at Bleeker are friendly and knowlegable about film and the services they provide. You will always get great service and amazing results bringing your film and business to Bleeker. read more

I have been shooting film for almost 2 decades, but had shied away from color for a while after getting burned one too many times by labs scratching my negatives or poorly developing them. I discovered Bleeker about 2 years ago and gave them a shot and am happy to say that my photos turn out beautifully developed, and negatives intact (no scratches!) every time. I've developed dozens of rolls with them since. I recommend them to anyone looking to get film developed whether they're just starting out or a professional who needs a new spot. read more

I am a regular here - very loyal to this spot. The quality is always perfect, and the turnover is quick. I highly recommend getting your film developed here. read more

I have been in film photography for 14 years and since my first exposed roll of film I have been using Bleecker Digital. To be honest I have never had a problem with them and never considered trying another film lab. They are very reliable and the developing and scanning have been excellent. read more

I have been going to Bleeker Digital Solutions since it was on Bleeker Street in the 90s. As a kid, I would go get my passport pictures done there then get free wonton strips from the Chinese spot next door while I waited for the pictures to develop. I started getting into photography of my own at around 9 years old, and I've developed and printed around 110 rolls with them through the years (I'm currently archiving my pictures, which is why I know that number). I am endlessly grateful that Bleeker Digital has been my go-to for the bulk of my photographic needs. During university, I searched for a photo shop to temporarily replace Bleeker Digital, and shop after shop delivered subpar service (the only shop w similar quality charged nearly $50 to print and develop a roll). I am not sure if there is a dearth of quality photo services in the entire city of Montreal, or if I had just gotten used to the high standards of Bleeker Digital - instinct tells me it might be the latter. Now that I am dusting off boxes and boxes of photographs and negatives, I just want to say THANK YOU to Bleeker Digital for taking care of my work when I didn't even realize I needed to. All of my negatives are in pristine condition. My specifications of single print, matte, 5x7 have never once been misunderstood. My negative sheets from days where I forayed into developing on my own are beautiful. Also, Neil and his wife are so sweet! I don't know the guys name who started working w them around 2010-ish, but he is great too (and he has amazing handwriting, haha). You guys are the best!! THANK YOU!! Btw - they typically do not print photos that are super, super dark, or the half-photos that sometimes happen at the beginning of a roll. You just need to ask them to print all, and they will. read more

The customer service was absolutely terrible. I went into the store unfamiliar with film but needed to pick some up for a shoot and the staff was extremely rude and demeaning. They acted like I was stupid and crazy for asking questions regarding what I was buying. read more

Great for US Visa photos, compliant with the rules every time and available within 20min.

There has never been a day when I am not greeted by the welcoming face of Anil each and every time I enter his lab. The friendly service given by him and his staff is always professional. I have been going to him for over 20 years for my photography and video needs and have never been disappointed. I give him the highest recommendation with thanks and gratitude. read more
