Tricia S, Findlay Ohio – Walgreens in Findlay Ohio doesn’t develop film in house, but they send out taking about a week. Zachary S, Buffalo Grove, IL – I send my film out through a Walgreens in Buffalo Grove, IL (northwest suburb of Chicago) and the scans they provide are low resolution, the prints are mediocre and they don’t give me back my negatives. It took a week because they had to send it out. Overall they came out pretty good for being a drug store development. The camera expired in 2002 so I figured it would only be worthy of a drug store development! I took it on a hike with my girlfriend and took some sweet shots and took the camera right to Walgreens when it was finished! The story gets hilarious when I get to the store because no one in the store was working the “photo” department and it was a bit of work to get help. Max J – I found a disposable Kodak easyshare camera under my bed and it still had 24 exposures left. Recently their quality declined with the prints, but the photo scans would usually be decent. Some were edited for readability, some grammar and brevity.Īshley M – I will typically use Walgreens because they were the only place who would offer one hour developing. A common complaint was quality, both in scanning and printing and very long turnaround times. Because most towns have a local Walmart, they’re convenient to use for prints and film developing.Ĭons – For Film Developing, Walgreens Photo Centers doesn’t return the negatives, and as Jake from Texas puts it “The negatives are the point!”. Pros – Ranked #1 photo printing service with TopTenReviews. Walgreens film developing cannot be ordered or purchased online.

Walmart Photo Center and CVS Photo Center being the other two. For film developing, it’s been reported that Walgreens stopped film processing in house in 2015 and is now using a 3rd party service, one of the last three major retailers that even supports film developing. It’s not clear if it’s for their online or instore photo centers. For printing photos, Walgreens ranks as the #1 photo printing service of 2017 with TopTenReviews.
