Fromex is a gem! I do not know of many places that still develop film and I am glad they are local. I shoot with a Cannon AE1 Program here and there and develop about a roll per month. The pricing is great, though I don't know who to compare it to. They also offer a Digital scan. Developing and printing two rolls with a scanned file was only 50 something dollars. Scans are emailed to you within a few days and you can pick up the prints in less than a week. Great service and quality work. read more

I had 3 pre edited pictures on my iPhone that I wanted to get printed. When I walked in, I was greeted by their friendly staff and they had me email the pictures to their store email address and they then confirmed sizing. The pictures were ready in less than an hour and the prints were high quality on Fuji paper for a 11 by 14, 8 by 10 and 4 by 6. They showed the finished product when it was done. Overall, excellent experience, fair prices, and I'll definitely be back in the near future. read more

Fast service! I drop off my disposable cameras and they're usually ready within 2 business days which I really appreciate. You have the option of coming back to pick up the film, if not as long as you open the email within 2 weeks and download your photos, you're good to go! It is $10 per disposable, but given the quality of my pictures, I do think it's well worth the price. The parking in this plaza is terrible so I suggest coming during an off time or having someone drive so you can just drop it off really quickly and not worry about parking. read more

The best lab around SGV, affordable prices, quick turn around very friendly. Nothing else beats it! They also carry a good selection of film. My go to spot for developing film. read more

Came here to get some passport photos done. They will take photos for you according to what is needed, and are quick and friendly. I actually lost the email where they sent digital copies, but they were able to figure out which picture was mine even after 5 months, and were really helpful in getting me additional photos that I needed. This is going to be my to-go photo place in the future. read more

This is favorite photo shop to get my 35mm film developed as a photographer. Although the turnaround time has been pushed to about 3 days from the drop off date, I don't mind because they've kept the prices to $10/roll and digital scans sent via email (for no additional cost unlike most shops) for the past handful of years I've been coming here. The older woman with short gray hair has helped me at the counter the most over the past few months and I always leave with my smile on my face. She's so sweet and personable and I always love getting helped by her when I'm picking up negatives or dropping off. I really appreciate her and the energy she exudes. So grateful for a consistent and wonderful shop in the SGV!! read more

Called 3 times around 5:40pm, and wanted to make sure they were not closed.. but no one picked up the phone. Paid $20 for 2 passport photos (later I found out UPS and libraries are $15) for my daughter, then were not accepted and had to retake when applied for the passport. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! They are so kind and happy every time I walk in. It is the cheapest place I've found for developing film ($10) and the turn around time is usually next day. The only place I go to develop my film! read more

This is our first time taking passport photos at Fromex. It's in a plaza on Valley and San Gabriel Blvd (same plaza as Popeyes). We want to get better quality passport pics rather than taking them at CVS and we found this place on Yelp when we were in the area. We got there when they just opened at about 10 am on Sunday. It costs $18 for a set of 2 passport pics and our whole family's passports are almost expired so we all took pics. There's a photo shoot area at the back of the store. Her husband was the photographer and was patient to take photos for us. He also asked us if we were satisfied and showed us the photos. We waited about 15 minutes to receive all our passport photos (4 sets= 8 pics) for $72 and took us only 30 minutes in the store. We like our passport photos and it was worth spending $72. read more

Took my headshot here for visa application. As usual, they'd take a few pictures for you and you select the one you want, then they'll give you a printed copy + electronics copy. So. The printed copy they gave me was a different version with the electronics copy. Trying to use this for visa, of course I'd want them to be the same version. Went back to the place, asked them to print the right one for me. The asshole old dude in there gave me a really bad attitude and tried to charge $3 for it, even though it was clearly their mistake, no matter how I explained it. Reporting this bs to BBB. read more

Most reliable photo developer ,I drive all the way from Silverlake cause they are usually done within a few days which is rare now.

i used to go there for my passport photos，this time is for my baby but since my baby crys a lot，they ask me to take photo at home and they can edit for me， I went back and the women at front desk wanted to charge $25 for edit passport photo，I told her it's for baby no need to edit or i can edit. after all ， the photo wasn't edit and she charged me $15 for 2 photos just to print， when i said it's very pricy just to print out，the women told me "you can go walgreen and cvs" That's how they treat return customer. The service was really bad ，since it's holiday，i don't want to argue.I paid for the stubit money. but not gonna recommend any more read more

I have gotten 35mm film developed here twice! Service has been great, and they send the digitals to your email which is nice. I have not yet gotten physical prints so I cannot speak to that. My only issue is that they do not answer the phone, I have called several times on different days. It seems you just have to go in person for any questions. read more

the only place i come to develop my film -- insert your film rolls into an envelope, write your name, email, and phone number, and pay at the end. it usually only takes about 2-5 days depending on how many you're developing! they'll send an email with a wetransfer link that expires in about a few weeks. i also purchase new rolls (the 3 pack one: 36 in total) here. i calculated and it's roughly $2 per photo -- a bit $ but all my memories are worth it! very nice staff; always quick and affordable services :) read more

I came in for a passport photo and had a smooth experience. The staff member helped adjust my hair and posture then took a few headshots for me to choose from. They even had tops available in case yours isn't suitable. $25 for both the physical photos and a digital copy which was emailed to me within 20 minutes. The service was quick and efficient! read more

For exacting to specs passport photos, this is the go to place for me as Mike is absolutely knowledgeable to the requirements of our important documents. He is a quick and efficient professional photographer ,...got my photos plus an emailed digital one processed in 20 minutes. I had my Passport renewal photos before by another shop and had to redo due to glaring. So I highly recommend recommend Fromex to get their photos for passport renewals/applications approved without glitches ! read more

I've been coming go fromex for years now after I was introduced to this little gem by a good friend. The staff is incredible and always so kind, not to mention the fast service. I dropped a roll in a creek and was nervous the photos were ruined- they quickly scanned to see if my photos were salvageable and only charged me for that service. Thankfully they were and I got my photos quick and easy like always. So thankful to have found my forever photo place! read more

Came in clutch when I needed digital passport photos and physical copies. Quick and seamless. It cost about $25 all in, had digital backups emailed to me and put on a thumb drive. For passport photos, highly recommend. BONUS: You can grab some pho next door while they process your photos too. read more

Support your local camera and film businesses! I used to go to Walgreens to develop film, and the returned film was always super dark / blurry. I thought there was something wrong with the film, but it ended up being where I got it developed that was the problem. Went to fromex and the developed images were stunning (and cheaper than Walgreens!) The people who work here are also so kind and very helpful. read more

Great place to do your film processing, Affordable price, and great customer service. Highly recommended!!!

Dropped off a roll for development and scan for the first time, was emailed the link to download within 1.5 hours - insanely fast service and reasonable price ($10). Will be sure to get all my future film developed here, thank you Fromex! Workers were friendly as well. read more

He showed us the picture before he printed it because we were nervous it would be blurry (we tried printing it at CVS and it was blurry) and then he printed it and it was ready within 5 minutes. Our 11x14 print was perfect quality and we were very happy. Great service and great staff. read more

SOLID choice for anyone looking for international passport photos. They know exactly the specifications and requirements needed. They even have a wardrobe of jackets and shirts to put on if you're not wearing the correct color or neckline of clothing. Post office & pharmacy photo are only good for US passport photos. I was needing Canadian passport photos and had tried so many different places - finally the post office referred me here. Sooo glad. The photos were ready in like 20 mins. Highly highly recommend. read more

Super quick services. They said 15 mins for passport photos but it was like 5 mins for printing. They also let you look at the photo before hand to choose. Super grateful for the quick service and price. $25 for digital and physical! read more

Great for passport photos. Takes less than one hour to get the passport photo taken and printed. $18 for 2 photos.

The only shop I trust to develop my film now. Super affordable ($9.90 per roll) and quick turnaround - I dropped off 7 rolls on a Sunday, got a WeTransfer with all of the scanned photos by mid-day Thursday. Not only are they fast, but the quality/outcome is amazing. They're also super clear and easy to work with when dropping off. They hold onto your negatives for 3 months. read more

Great hole in a wall photo friendly store! Located in a corner in the same small plaza with Popeyes. Parking lot is small but should have no trouble to find available space. This store seems to be pretty busy as there was constant walk in and photo pick ups. I had to take some passport pictures and was recommended to this store. 2 passport pictures for $16. Only took about 10-15 mins for my pictures to be ready. Overall great local photo store if you are in need to take pictures or develop your films read more

Quick place to buy and develop film. Not sure of any other place in SGV, but I always come here to develop my film. It usually costs $9.90 to develop a roll of 35mm film, which usually gets emailed to me the same or next day. You're able to pick up your developed film too. They sell rolls of Fujifilm X-TRA 400, Kodak Ultramax 400, and Kodak Portra 400. I wish they had more options, but it's good if you need to buy film quickly. read more

Service and quality of work was great! They did a great job from a digital file from 2004. They cleaned up the background, enlarged the photo, and brightened the colors. They had it completed as promised on the date. Also, they gave us a freebie mini photo. The only bad part was going to the shop 3times because the quality of the digital files and photos had to be a certain size. Other than that, I would use their service again. read more

I found some ancient rolls of film and wasn't sure what I'd find, so I brought them to Fromex. The man there explained how I could choose to get files digitally or decide on prints. And he even told me if they were blank I would get $5 each blank roll, which I really appreciated. Pricing was up front and you don't have to be from the neighborhood to feel like they will take care of you professionally. (The rolls turned out to be blank so I was informed through text) Thank you, Fromex! Will definitely be coming back if I need great service! read more

I've recently been really into disposables and have always gone here to get them developed. They're always super fast and kind. I even get my rolls back in a day or two sometimes! It usually really depends on how backed up they are. I receive the pictures through WeTransfer and get a few weeks to save the photos. Honestly don't think I'll go anywhere else to get my photos developed. Can't really beat the speed and price! read more
