I've been coming here for over a year to develop film via their "Film Lover's Special" and they never disappoint! I have friends and coworkers in the community of SA who also utilize their services. Today I came in to drop off more film, but this time, I also had a concern regarding a past order and Holli was super helpful and was able to assist with me it. S/O to Holli and the rest of the Digital Pro Lab! read more

I recently ordered over 30 large (24"x16" and 12"x12") metallic prints on Standout mounts from Digital Pro Lab for an astrophotography exhibition, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the start, their professionalism stood out -- communication was fast, clear, and always helpful. I truly appreciated the customized care I received, including thoughtful advice on print media choices, image preparation, and color optimization/calibration. Having had disappointing results with astrophotography prints from other online services in the past, I was quite nervous. But the final prints exceeded even my most optimistic expectations -- the quality and detail were exactly what I had envisioned. There was a very minor mix-up (one image printed twice, one missing), likely due to similar filenames I submitted, but the team resolved it immediately. The missing print was ready for pickup the very next day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality, professional photo printing with a personal touch!

DPL lab has given me great printing service over the past few years. The staff is really knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciate that they offer prints on several fun mediums and have been impressed with the vibrancy and print quality. They recently started offering prints on stone slates. I immediately ordered one and was stunned with how cool it looks. Their prices feel right and the turnaround time is usually extremely quick. read more

Originally I wrote a review about how Digital Pro Lab had lost a few of my negatives. UPDATE: The owner, Amanda reached out to me and wanted to get to the bottom of what happened to my negatives. She was friendly and truly wanted to make things right for me. She also had explained their organization process and that this is typically not something that occurs for them. Not long after our call she put all hands on deck and they were able to find the negatives for every roll of mine that was originally missing! Thank you Amanda for making things right. read more

Poor communication on turnaround time, digital copies are constantly cropped wrong/cut off, and consistently cutting film when directed not to. This has happened countless times. read more

I'll never order from here again. Their communication is poor, and their employees aren't on the same page regarding their fees or turnaround timeframes. Took a digital camera to be developed because one employee stated a rush fee was needed by 3pm and we could receive photos same day, so we paid and the fees and timeframe completely changed. read more

Local photo pick up easy to use website and one of the best parts is they have a drive thru pick up!!!

I've gotten 15+ rolls of film developed here and have been impressed with every single one. The development is consistent and the folks doing the color grading and scanning do a great job with the images you get back. The communication combined with quick turn around has made me look forward to dropping off film and getting prints made. It is about 20-30% more expensive than some other development services but in my opinion it's been worth the price. If you shoot film regularly they are worth a chance as a great local Texas lab. read more

My family found letters my father wrote to his parents and film negatives from pictures he took during World War 2. The negatives has been in a box since 1946. I took the rolls here. I was told by another place they could not be developed because they had been in to much light, sounded like BS to me. I took them here next. I was helped by the young lady with the fuzzy hair, forgot her name. She was great. She said it would not be a problem. I had 154. She asked to give them a week because of the number and some may have scratches. She asked if I wanted matt or gloss. I had no idea and told her what she judged best, and left it at that. 4 days later they were done and zero scratches. If we come across any more this will be my first and only stop. Great place and I apologise to the fuzzy hair girl for not mentioning her by name. read more

The service is really excellent. I'm learning how to use my grandads 35mm camera so I had about 12 rolls of film I needed developed. The turn around time was great and I appreciated the convenience of the text notifications and drive up window. I appreciate the helpful staff. read more

Found some 20 year old, undeveloped 35mm film in my closet. They processed the film negatives first to see if there were pics to be developed, 2/3 rolls were good and they develop them for film. The team at digital pro lab was courteous, knowledgeable and had a great turnaround time on the prints. read more

Service that exceeded expectations is a good way to summarize my experience. I was very pleased to find a place in San Antonio that processes color film and their prices are in line with everyone else but you save the postage. They have a drive thru so not only is it convenient but enables sovial distancing. I dropped my first roll of film off at 11am, guy at the window took my info and suggested it would probably wait till tomorrow for development- about an hour later I got an e-mail saying it was ready! I went and picked up my film which was wonderfully developed. I used to work in a film lab years ago s and first think I looked for was any issues with the negatives- they were nice and clean with no scratches from processing. I'm pleased and plan to return! read more

Digital Pro Lab - drive thru drop off is open - Photographers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Love this location and the staff, they are very informative and is the only place left in San Antonio that print 35mm film! So naturally I went and at first purchased a bundle they offer to have your 35mm pints imported onto a DVD, was such a great service that I kept going back until all my film was printed. The front desk admins were very courteous and did not try to up-sale me anything, they did their job and were very prompt and gave me that great service with a smile. Will definitely go back and do business with them again :) read more

Great experience. Super crazy expensive though! I got film developed in Virginia for literally 1/4 of the price. Don't expect this to be cheap. read more

I took in a photo to be developed in a large odd size. This place is quick and professional with great quality of service. I will definitely be using this place again in the future. You are probably wondering why i didn't give them 5 stars since I really liked there work... well... Location, location, location. Their parking is very limited in space and the entrance / exits out to San Pedro can be a little tricky. I know, this really doesn't affect their quality of work, but location and access are KEY for people finding the business, and this, well, it can be tricky. read more

Dropped off 20 old school films that my family had stored for ages! They took care of developing and they also digitalized them for me. Family Memories are Worth every penny! Will recommend this place to any one! read more

Amanda is an absolute treasure! I have a piece of glass advertising from my many-great grandparents' store that is well over a century old, and I wanted to make a copy for my sister to have as well. I carried the precious family piece up to Digital Pro Lab and they came through beautifully with a high resolution image printed on durable acrylic, one for my sister and one for me. Now I can lock the piece of history away but still enjoy seeing it hanging in my kitchen. I know this was an challenge due to the project's unusual shape and size, not to mention its age, but everyone at Digital Pro Lab was excellent to deal with. So happy I chose to go with them!! read more

I needed several pictures made for a big collage frame. I stopped here thinking it would be expensive but I wanted nice prints. Customer service was amazing. Everyone is super helpful. They helped me transfer my pics from my phone to their computer. They had the prints ready for me the same day and at literally a fraction of what I expected to pay. I definitely recommend this place and will use it again. read more

I've never been disappointed with their turnaround time or the quality of the finished product. Customer service is outstanding every time.

the home of film lovers special and the nicest most accommodating staff love it here. as long as im in satx this is my go to for any photo needs. bonus they will heel about your new cameras and give you advice and hold you like family. they are the best. if you're new to photography there's a home for you at digital pro lab read more

Over charge and under preformed. My elderly mother had brought in a photo to be "professional scanned" the service claims to include editing and touch ups. The photo instead was just scanned and zero editing. I spent 5 minutes in photoshop to fix. The kicker is they charged 2x what the website claimed to my elderly mother. The photo was being used go be lazer etched into a granite grave stone for my father who just passed. It was very sub par work and drastically over charged even based on their own websites listed prices for this exact service which wasn't rendered. read more

Great service, tons to choose from, pictures turn out beautiful. Staff is very helpful with explaining services. Location has good parking. Wait time for reviewing prints is normal. Quality of prints is on point. read more

I was visiting San Antonio and needed a one-hour film developing and processing (C-41) service. I found Photo Express DPL to accomplish that task. I don't remember if they process medium format film in an hour though. I had some 35mm film with the sprockets exposed taken with my Diana camera, and they were able to develop the film, but were not able to scan the film with sprockets visible. They have different scanning options a medium and high quality. They do have a lot of digital imaging processing, but I'm still shooting with film and was happy that they were able to process and print my images with vibrant colors. read more

I've visited/used Digital Pro Lab several times over the last year. I've always found the staff to be knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating (especially Amanda). I'm a semi-pro photographer and appreciate the level of experience and advice the staff provides to help me provide the best product to my client. This same great service is provided to all of their customers. As the saying goes 'Quality is Priceless'. You may (emphasis on may) save a little by going to your local big box retailer - the same one who sells everything under the sun - but you will not be able to even come close to the quality of the finished products offered by Digital Pro Lab let alone being able to tap into years and years of photography experience from their staff. read more

Now a days it is hard to find a great photo lab that does almost everything, especially when you need something other than a 4x6 or 5x7. I was in need of making a small print (roughly 3x2) from a 8x10 photo. I ran around San Antonio from Walgreens, CVS, Walmart and HEB to find they only had the kiosk that made horrible, pixelated prints and cropping just a portion of the photo. This was the only photo studio I found close by that could do the job. Went in asking if they could develop my photo and they said it would be ready Monday. I needed it Sunday and was willing to pick up Saturday but they do not count the weekends as working business days. With a little extra money, they were willing to develop the photos day of. All in all, I was able to get my photos within 5 hours and the picture quality was fabulous. They even corrected the color of my photo with no extra charge. I was able to get two prints of the size that I wanted 3x2 for about $13. I would say that is a bit pricey, but same day service for a great quality I can't complain. read more

I took some film to this lab for developing. When I picked it up from the lab, the film was completely ruined. They opened the film canister in the light and exposed the film, ruining it. Do not take film to this place for developing. They cannot be trusted with your product. Beware. read more

This place is incredible! Outstanding customer service and the quality of their work is so much better than any of the online sites. I walked in with my photos on a flash drive and one of the employees helped me with everything I needed to create a poster size print out for my frame. In the past they have also helped me with several other orders and their work is always top notch. I highly recommend this place for any sort of prints or unique customized gifts. read more

This place must have the most complicated software as the staff takes forever to get anything processed on their computers. The staff is. Or photo savvy, but what to expect when it's a world of selfies and a camera in everyones phone? This place is really made for suburban moms wanting to get their kids pic onto a magnet. Need to find another lab. I've done work at finer works dot com and they are far superior to these neophytes. read more

Shirley is a helpful employee at Digital Pro Lab and always answers my film questions and anything related to my order. Always satisfied with my results here! read more

Never had a bad experience here. My prints have always come out looking great. Even when I'm sure the shot I took looked awful. How? They're secretly magicians. read more

I love going to digital pro lab to develop my film. The staff is always so friendly and informative. My film is developed and scanned promptly and pristinely. I couldn't ask for a better experience! read more

Walked in to inquire about prices for 15 4x6 photos and 5 5x7 photos I had on my cellphone. The female clerk who served me was very rude and short with me. The prices are 3 times that of Walgreens and the entire store and staff had a very snobby vibe so I left. Their services may be good, I dont know because the staff and vibe of the store did not feel welcoming so I left, I guess I will never know. Walgreens offers the same exact products for a third of the price. read more

Every time I get something printed here the results are hit or miss. They've also turned away my business once for what One can only assume was a personal reason. I now take all my work to SAPL here in town and always get complete satisfaction. read more

Stephanie and Shirley are great! I love getting my prints done here. Well worth the price because the service is awesome. My photos are printed in a timely fashion and I can always come in on a Saturday to pick them up. My only complaint is I wish Saturdays were open the full day because we all deserve to be closed on Sunday in the retail world. I work long hours, so they always mail my items to me without a problem. Worth the money! read more

Fast, affordable and great quality! The website is fantastic and easy to navigate for ordering. I ordered prints late one night and they called the very next morning to alert that they were ready for pickup. Also, affordable price for such great quality. Highly recommend! Couldn't be happier. read more

Great group of people who are dedicated to supporting the photography community and provide an excellent product.

This is a top notch photo lab that does excellent work. They have always provided pro quality at competitive prices and turn everything around very quickly. Digital Pro Lab is my only recommendation for clients looking to have prints done, and my first choice for photo lab work. Their knowledgeable staff is always ready to help with whatever question or need I have. read more

With my mothers passing on wed and my needing an enlarged photo for her memorial on sunday, digitalprolab generously provided compassionate service and an expert product. I didn't need to go in as they have a drive up window and I looked as bad as I felt it was an added comfort. A huge burden on a long list was quickly painlessly lifted. Thankyou so, so much. read more

To start off with, I rarely write reviews, positive or negative. However, I have to give 5 stars to my recent experience with Digital Pro Lab. I had a picture I took on a African Safari that I wanted to put on a 30x40 canvas. I had done my editing in LR from a RAW image and took there to see what could be done with it. Ray, over 19 years experience, walked me thru the process, gave me guidance and helped produce an awesome result. The staff was great to work with and the quality of the product is outstanding. I am not sure if the amount of time I got to spend with Ray was typical but when I needed some extra assistance, Ray stepped in to help out. I did not shop around for costs but it is great to have a local company that you can talk to about our project. The end result is priceless. I will definitely be going back with future projects read more
