It was my first time going here, and it was a great experience. The worker was friendly and explained everything with detail. I went in to develop two film rolls from 2018, she said the photos would come out a bit faded, but I don't mind. I paid a total of $24 to develop both rolls and have them sent to my email. She said I should be getting my photos by next week through a link called WeTransfer. *Update*: I received my photos 8 days later. The WeTransfer links says I have a month until the links expire to save my photos. Below I added two of my developed photos. read more

I'm not photogenic. After decades of hating photos of myself I've come to accept it. So when it was time to renew my passport I decided to go to the famous Eliz Digital to get the best possible photo of myself. I discovered them in a Gothamist article where people praised at how professional looking the photos were. I figured that this would be my best shot at not looking at a photo that I hate for the next 10 years. If you're remotely photogenic then your photo will probably look like a professional head shot. If you're like me you will accept that your eyes look like Cash Patel's because you can't see without your glasses. The photographer took a couple of photos to choose from. I deferred to her judgement about which one was best. Paid cash since it's cash only. I opted for the digital photo since I was renewing my passport online. My photo was emailed the next day. I'm a very satisfied customer even though I have crazy eyes. read more

Impressed with the quality of film prints from Eliz Digital. It's always nerve-wracking to drop off precious film to a new lab for the first time. However, Eliz Digital was friendly, well-priced, and quick! I cannot state enough how clearly my 35mm photos came out -- no grain or mistakes to be found (a problem I've had with other labs). Also, in addition to printing, they also scan the photos and email them to you! Note they are cash only. I will be back to develop more film, and to get my passport photo taken here! After seeing some people's passport photos (and seeing these same people in the flesh), I can confirm -- this place has figured out the right lighting, posing etc to create STUNNING passport photos. read more

Best place to get passport photos take period! Fair prices and super high quality with a quick turnaround time.

The photos were so clear! It was my first time using film so I thought the photos would not come out the best, but they were developed beautifully!! The woman working there was also very sweet. Will be coming back read more

One of my favorite places to develop film. I've been going for years and plan to continue. I've tried other places, but nothing compares to this place. The hospitality, the pricing, the quality, and turn around make taking the trip from Long Island worth it. They do have an option to mail your film in, however it gives me an excuse to come there and again worth it. read more

Needed a non-US passport photo, which they said they could do. But they didn't create it to specification (required for them to put information on the back of the photo, which they said they would not do) Cash only, no receipt read more

The young woman working the front counter is rude. Also the prices are not as advertised nor is the turnaround time. They have a neon sign that says 30 min photo yet she was telling me it would take a week to just get scans back. When I said I was unsure about that time line she handed me the cameras without speaking to me and I left. Extremely rude. And deceiving read more

My favorite place for film development! Eliz Digital offers reasonable prices and quick turnaround times. It's a very easy process there, they develop your film and email a really convenient WeTransfer link. You also have the option to get prints done there too! They also sell Polaroid films and other film stocks like Fujifilm, Kodak, Portra, and Cinestill. Cash only, there's an atm a few storefronts down. I normally get my 35mm film developed in high resolution which is $16, it's $11 for normal quality. My most recent film drop off took 2 days to be developed and emailed to me; the longest I've had to wait was probably 7-8 days which is rare. The staff are also very friendly and helpful! One of my rolls ended up being blank (I think it might have been an issue with how I loaded it into my camera and not an issue with Eliz Digital), the staff were kind enough to refund me $9 in cash which I had to pick up in store. A solid location for any photography lover :) read more

I had needed a passport size photos for business reason and this establishment definitely came through professionally. Hidden deep in Chinatown. I found this spot by simply Googling. Everyone in this local business definitely was busy assistant customers literally walking in and out in a timely manner. I whole heartedly believe everyone in this business deserves a raise something from the city; because not only is the prices for their photos service is fair and of high quality. It's just simply professional! My photos came out amazing. I walked in I was immediately greeted by an employee friendly and professionally! I walked out satisfied with my purchase and now a regular for this business. Thank you to everyone. Please support the locals especially this business! read more

Friendly team, good passport photos. Heads up; the photo is not available on the day. This wasn't a problem, its just good to know. Also, cash only. I'd go back read more

If you're in New York City and need to get your film developed, I'd recommended coming to Eliz Digital! Their service is amazing and they are quick with their turnaround time. I usually go to New York for a week or so and will drop off at the beginning of my trip and will get it back before I even leave the city. They keep their negatives up to two months. I forgot to get mine before I left once. I came back a month later to visit and they had it ready for me to pick up! Everyone there is kind and they value the work they do. Please continue to support small businesses. Also, BRING CASH!!!!!! CASH ONLY!!!! There is a Bank of America around the corner if you forget to bring some. read more

The place is the best. Affordable, fast, and everyone is beyond kind. I've been coming here for years to get film developed and my photos have always come out great. They also do great passport photos. Support local businesses !!! read more

My experiences with Eliz Digital haven't been so great, unfortunately. The first time I went was for a passport photo - they said their printer was down, so I had to come back a couple of days later to pick it up. When I returned, they couldn't find my print out or the digital file. The second time was for film developing & scans - I have my usual spots for this, but I popped in because I was in the area. These took a long time to come in & the scan quality was pretty subpar. I called a couple times while waiting to get an ETA but they never answer their phone. I appreciate any place that still offers photo services in the city, but they just seem really disorganized here and I'd be wary to trust them with any important rolls. read more

cheaper than most film development places, and pretty quick turnaround - though i do think they're starting to get more popular, because what used to take a couple days now takes a week or so. i love the main lady (Chunika Kesh) who owns Eliz, she's so sweet and likes to chit chat a bit. hoping my next set of film comes soon! read more

Affordable film development spot that allows you to print both digital and analog from your camera rolls.

I needed a photo scanned and printed. Luckily I found this place (on a Sunday!) the staff here was so helpful (btw they speak English). Much better than going to photo printing the pharmacy. read more

Great service, great prices, speedy turn around! I will take all of my disposable cameras here forever.

Look a little bit of time to receive but I'm assuming they were just busy with other orders. Other than that, it's a very solid place to get your films developed and on the cheaper as well! The people working there were super friendly and overall happy with what I received. read more

We went here for quick photo development and passport photos. Both were done super quickly and professionally.

Terrible and overcharged pricing will never go back. $25 for a passport electronic file only didn't even ask to have it printed to save them some work. Previous customer over 3 times never again. read more

10/10!! I got a roll of 35mm film of mine developed and couldn't be happier with the results!!! I received my photos not even 24 hours later and they're absolutely perfect! The lighting and the quality is amazing, I couldn't be any more pleased. The lady who owns the store is very nice and her prices are unmatched for the quality! read more

Absolutely in love with the service here! Love the prices and the timely manner. Got my disposables developed here and well I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. read more

Like a careless idiot, I forgot that my passport was expiring dangerously close to my upcoming international travel and needed to renew it ASAP. While gathering all the necessary documents for my passport appointment, I realized that I didn't have a valid passport picture. After hearing about some of the horror stories of getting your passport photos taken at local CVS from my friends, I decided to go to a photo studio - since I'm going to have to stare at this photo for another 10 years. I turned to Yelp for guidance on where to go, and Eliz Digital popped up. Like most reviews mentioned, the pictures are incredibly affordable ($10 for 4 at the time of writing) and the turnaround time is really quick. I stopped by during a weekday afternoon and there were some people waiting in line to get their pictures as well. The lady who took my picture was polite and she allowed me to pick my own picture out of the few she had taken. After I paid, she told me to come back in about 20 minutes. Everything was smooth until I returned and got my picture. For some odd reason, my pictures had a sepia hue to it (see attached photo for reference). Since I couldn't risk getting my picture rejected, I ended up going to another studio to take the headshot the same day. While I appreciate the timeliness and price of the services provided at Eliz Digital, I was a bit dismayed by the quality of the pictures I got from them. Because I had to get new passport pictures, it felt like my visit to Eliz Digital was a waste of time and money. With that said, I don't think I can recommend this place for passport photos wholeheartedly - especially if you are on a time crunch. read more

Got my 35mm and 120mm film developed here for the first time after going to Luster. It was half the price at Eli's and they emailed my scans right to me less than 48 hours later. It's cash only, keep that in mind. They were very polite, I will definitely go back. such a good experience. read more

I've exposed my films here just twice! They're extremely efficient and I get my digital scans really quick - usually in one or two business days. They're usually quote you a couple days but turnaround is quick. Quality wise I can't really comment. I've never tried any other place, but sometimes my pictures are blurry/fuzzy or has there's lines but I'm not sure if it's my film/camera or what. I'm ok with them so far minus the really blurry ones! But not sure if that's just my friends shaky hands or the lack or flash used. Overall, I had a great experience. I learned how to load my first roll of film here and lmao figured out how a completed roll of film sounds (rookie life) and they were always willing to answer all my questions. I also but my 35mm film here and they have a couple options. They've been giving me the same film type when I ask but next time I might change it up! I've paid in cash only so far. read more

Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE quality. I paid extra $16 for high quality photos and you can't even make out any faces in them. What the hell happened here? read more

Got my pictures back quickly and the quality was amazing ! Will definitely be going back

Cash only! I got 3 rolls of 35mm film developed. I came in about half hour before closing on a Friday and My photo scans were emailed to me by the next afternoon, so less than 24 hours. Not sure why there are some complaints about the quality- it's film after all. Part of the lure of using it is the surprise and also the "filter" look. I'm very pleased with the way my photos turned out. For $10 a roll, fast processing, one click downloads, and a friendly staff, I will be using them for my film from now on. Happy to support an AAPI, woman-owned business! read more

$11.50 to develop a roll and get scans in normal quality. $16 for HD quality. Way more affordable than many of the other film shops in NYC. Last time I went, I got my photos within 24 hours via WeTransfer. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the inside looks so old school! Make sure to bring cash! read more

This place does the job if you're looking for a quick and cheap place to take your passport photos. It's only $10 for 4 picks and the people here are really nice and the whole process only took me about 15 - 20 min tops. They also do other stuff here such as developing films, digital pics, or social media pics as well so that's pretty cool. They are definitely professional and I'm so glad my friend recommended me to go here to save me the trouble of looking else where. read more

Got my photos scanned and digitally sent to me only 20 minutes after I dropped them off! They are so kind and helpful, and also make sure you get the most bang for your buck for sure. 10/10 read more

Came here for a passport picture - it was quick, affordable and turned out great. This is definitely no frills with just a white wall as the background, but for the price (cash only), it's worth it! The lady who takes the pic will slightly adjust you, and then snap, you're done! It took around 20 min after the picture was taken for the photos to be ready. Easy peasy. read more

Eliz Digital is my go-to for all my photography needs. The owners are nice and knowledgeable. They treat you like you're part of the family. And the prices are fair, if not on the lower end. I recently tried their high quality film development option and the roll came out awesome. Highly recommend! read more

We had two disposable cameras we used on our trip in March and finally got it developed at Eliz last weekend. We got it scanned which was about $10 per disposable camera (~27 photos). If we wanted to get it printed it would be $0.30 per photo. We decided to wait since we weren't sure how the photos would turned out. My bf wrote down his email address and the next day he received the scanned photos. The quality was pretty good. It is a bit grainy but I think it just adds to the vintage feel/look. Will definitely be back for other photo developing in the future! read more

I love coming here! The owners are super sweet and this is one of the last remaining inexpensive photo development shops in the city! Due to their growing popularity, they are taking longer to do orders. I was able to get my roll developed within half a day but now it's 1-2 days which is still very fast! read more
