Quality and service makes this lab my top choice! Since I live locally I get to pick-up and have the best customer service, seeing how they will do all that they can for their customers! read more

This is where I go when I need Quality prints of my photos. You order online and either pick up or have them mailed to you! It is a little more expensive than some online photo printing options but definitely worth the extra money for the quality. read more

Always friendly, helpful and mostly print our pictures and have them ready as promised. I can't say enough good things about them.

Definitely my new go-to spot for digital B&W photog. I usu. like to support our local photolab in town but when they do digital B&W I wanted a dedicated B&W printer. Excellent communication and turn around time via snail mail (well packaged). Would definitely use again. Reasonable prices, many options, IMO. read more

Very well priced beautifully printed photos on quality paper. I love this hidden gem of a business. It's all online so and pick up is quick and easy. Have used them a few times for printing engagement and wedding photos. Baby photos next! :) These are the photos you are proud frame and display. read more

Found this place online! Easy to spot and lots of parking! I needed to print wedding photos that were really high quality for a parent album. Immediately upon walking in, I was greeted. One gentlemen even sat down and helped me upload my photos and answered all my questions! The service here is great! I really appreciated him taking the time to sit down and look at my photos and file size and give me his honest opinion! He also informed me that I couldve done everything online! The pictures were ready in 24hrs but you can pay to have them printed faster. I print 266 photos for $86!!!!!!!!! I was blown away by the price. I had called for quotes from other places and they charged $1.10 per 4x6 print. This place charges less the more you print so I spent about 30cents per print The quality of these photos was incredible. I am beyond satisfied with the service and product I recieved. I drive 20mins to Fromex and back and it was 100% worth it. I cannot wait to use this place for my photography needs! Thank you so much!!!!! read more

Best photo lab in San Diego. I've been using them for over 10 years and always have my prints done quickly and very high quality. They aren't a kinkos or Costco, they are a HIGH END PROFESSIONAL photo processing company. 5 read more

I know this is the age of technology but for those of us who still develop film this place ROCKS! I've been going to the same location for about 15 years, possibly more. The prices are good and the quality is superb. They do everything: enlargements, copies, putting on disc, Christmas cards, birth announcements. You name it. The customer service is excellent. For the ladies, the manager is a cutie, great blue eyes. For the fellas, couple of the girls are hotties...your day would be made. ;-) read more

I you want a passport photo don't bother!!! These clowns can't do the most basic functions of fitting a photo into a 2 inch frame. I brought in a perfect image that was professionally taken and cropped with a blank (photo shopped) background. They uploaded it into their worthless system and couldn't move it 1 MILLIMETER to make it fit inside the frame, and would NOT EVEN TRY to come up with a solution. What kind of print shop can't do basic Microsoft paint level photo adjustments?? The only reason I even bothered with this crap hole is because it's blocks from my house. Next time I will take the drive to a REAL PHOTO LAB. read more

The prints here are great and you can't find a print shop in town with a faster turn around... But the lady at the front desk is AWFUL!! And thats putting it politely. She is not helpful, rude and unapologetic. I have used Fromex several times to print invitations and like I said, their turn around is great (sometimes, even same day). But no short turn around is worth the terrible front desk lady... The straw that broke the camels back was when I recently printed a shower invitation at Fromex. When I went to pick them up, the women was more unpleasant then ever. When she finally handed me the invitations, I realized that they had been printed incorrectly (the front and back were printed different directions). I politely commented on the incorrect printing, and she responded by saying something like, "Well, thats the way you ordered them". I told her they were defiantly not ordered facing two different directions and asked her if she was the one who processed the order. She told me she was not... so how do you know that was the way if was ordered? She offered me no consolation... she didn't even offer to reprint them. Needless to say, I am not a fan. I would not recommend them to anyone unless its an emergency and you need something printed in less then a day. Because lets be honest if it's an emergency... you are probably not going to be upset that they are printed upside-down. read more

I've been a commercial photography hack for 30 years, and rarely make prints. I have a small wall in the studio for personal snapshots and I always use Fromex. Nice folks, they understand the business and always work hard to be sure my work is printed and mounted properly. The ROES system works well, and if I (or they) have any questions, their service and attitude on the phone is excellent. My highest recommendation. read more

21 star customer service every time I go there. Their photo enlargement is clear this is the best place to have any photos enlarged and matted read more

I took an old photograph of my grandfather, a WWII vet and had it restored from it's poor state to its' original glory. Friendly staff and quick service. I will be back again for my other printing needs. read more

Fast service, good prices, and friendly, understanding service! I got my photos printed at the time in only 10 minutes and the employees explained everything clearly and well and I really felt like I got the best deal for what I paid and what I got. read more

Working with this place is like going cow-tipping. Not worth the effort. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because they finally did get the scan right. I brought in a 35mm negative to be scanned for a print magazine cover. I had it scanned before but needed higher res and had a deadline. The exposure on the first scan I received had been altered significantly (I knew this because I had the original scan). When I called and asked it to be re-scanned without these extreme adjustments, the guy on the phone insisted it hadn't been changed. It wasn't until I sent him the original scan to show him the difference that he was like "oh yeah, well that I did change. But it looks way better." 1) No it didn't. 2) This isn't your grade school art project. Sadly, everyone I inteacted with in-store and on the phone was rude. I endured too much mansplaining to ever go back. It's a shame, though, because after 3-4 more tries they finally got the scan right. read more

Friendly and quick service. Quality headshot prints ($1.85 each x's minimum 10). However, they print any type of photograph. Nice!

Went here to get a shuttle pass for my apartment. The lady wasn't mean but wasn't very pleasant. The picture turned out really nice and it only cost me $7. I saw other pictures people had ordered for weddings and other events and man that was some nice quality work. read more

Had pictures of my kids taken at one of the places at the mall. I bought a package with the CD. Needed more prints for family this weekend and they wanted to charge me $18 a sheet! I found this place online. The order was ready in 24 hours. The prices are comparable to the drug stores (and much cheaper than the place that took the pictures) but the quality and the service is leaps and bounds above the stores. I will never use the drug stores or any other place again! read more

I needed a place to take my passport photo at, and I found this place on yelp. If it wasn't for the good reviews, I'd probably wouldn't even step foot in here. Honestly it looks pretty sketchy outside. But the workers were very nice. Customer service was great. While waiting for the woman who took my photo to fix the flash on her dslr I was looking around and I saw some pretty amazing photos that were taken. I probably wouldn't mind getting other photos done here. read more

Don't let their small storefront fool you- this is the top-notch professional photo lab in San Diego. I've been using this particular Fromex for years. I'm a pro photographer and they're work is among the best in San Diego, or nationally. They can process your RAW image captures, or simply make great prints or scans. They have the whole range of products from gallery canvas wraps to standout prints, metallic paper, albums or photo banners. They can mount your photos onto a thin board or onto foam core as well. The whole team at Fromex is great. Competitive prices and great custom work. They'll do your passport photos too. read more

I was looking forward to giving the place a shot due to other good ratings . Yelp usually never lets me down but the lady at the counter was pretty rude . As soon as I came in she gave a look like I was of inconvenience to her . When I asked for help about getting a passport photo done for my boards she was rude and not helpful whatsoever, making a snarty face and smirk . No thank you ! So I left . read more

I spent 2 hours here with my fiancé trying to get our save the dates edited and printed off. I didn't even get the guy's name but he was so patient with us and allowed us to use Adobe Photoshop. Luckily we were able to get it the way we wanted it to. He made a few fixes and they were printed out perfectly within an hour! Thank you guys so much! read more

You can't beat their service. I have been using their services for years. Great prices and great quality and great turnaround.

I wanted to print my pictures from my trip in Europe to put in a scrap book and I found Fromex on google and checked them out on Yelp. At first I just printed a few pictures to see the quality and when I picked them up they were so amazing I just had to order the rest of my pictures right away! I forgot the name of the guy who was there helping me out but he was nice and friendly and he showed me the scrapbook option instead of printing all my pictures in a 4x6 size. I just picked my order today and they look really great! I still have a few more prints to order and now I'm thinking if I should re-print my pictures from my other trip! It's really hard to find a place that prints good quality pictures these days and finding this place makes me feel I hit the jackpot! Thanks Fromex! read more

i want to start off this review about the women who works the front desk....my god she was helpful and funny.. she knew what she was talking about and was just great to talk and deal with...i am an amateur photographer and was afraid to take my pictures in for touch up but it was refreshing to have someone bright and happy to help me out.. the one downside to this place was the pricing....film processing was way more then any other place in town....$6.50 to scan a negative? are u kidding me?...thats outrageous even if it includes the cd with the photos on them....who ever the owner is needs to learn better pricing techniques and lower them...this is a good photolab dont get me wrong but some of the prices are way way out there....so again to the owner.....loosen up! read more

I absolutely loved the service here!! I went in last Friday to get a picture restored, as part of my husband's father's day present. Of course it was last minute, so I wasn't holding my breath for dame day service!! Maria was awesome!! She made sure I was completely happy with the picture restoration. She even added the name on the picture. I walked in, requested what I wanted, and picked it up after work. It was exactly what I wanted, and very inexpensive for the excellent service I received. Definitely recommend this place, and I will be returning!!! read more

I am a professional photographer and I get quite a few of my prints done here when I need a quick, local turnaround. They do a fantastic job with the color balance and they are priced very fairly for the high-quality they offer. The ordering is pretty easy with their online interface. I recommend them to my photo clients when they want to get their personal photos done. read more

I have bounced around different photo labs in San Diego and I'm so lucky to have found Fromex Photo. I am super picky on the quality of my printing and this lab has really made my work look exceptional. They have always been very accommodating on any of my special request in customizing my work.They offer a variety of different products including canvas gallery wraps,metal prints and press printed cards. Ron, Maria and all the Fromex staff have been very pleasant to work with and I look forward to many more years with with them. read more

Like a typical guy, I waited until the day before valentine's day to remember that my someone special wanted some really nice prints of us together. So at 2pm...on the 13th...I began searching for a place that could do good prints quick. I looked at some 1-hour photo places like Walmart and other retailers but none could do larger 11x14 prints. I found this place through my trusty wingman through all this (Google) and went on their website. Used the ROES tool and in a matter of minutes, my order was placed. I didn't specify "Rush" for the extra $5, but put a note on the order pleading my desperation for quick prints. Not even 2 hours later, I get a confirmation Email that the order was complete ... Could it be that quick? Maybe it just meant the order was completely received, processing? I was skeptical. Then my phone rings. The order was ready for pickup. I hauled-a** over there (within legal speed limits of course) and paid a very reasonable rate and was really amazed with how great the prints look. I opted for the Fuji Pearl finish, which gave elements of the image a very professional, metallic sheen to them. Overall, a wonderful experience. Great quality, fair pricing, super quick turnaround. And, I'm not sure if the "lady behind the counter" is the same as ones others have referenced in their reviews, but the counter person was polite, friendly, and capped off a great experience. read more

I went in for passport pictures, took an hour or so (wish I knew then, Walgreens is cheaper). There is a lady there, white-Hispanic, snobbish and condescending when I asked prices for different products. I left the store feeling sour. Pictures were good. read more

I had some color 120 film processed and printed here and they did a beautiful job on my prints! Not sure if they scan negatives for extra cost, but they're a great place to get your film done! read more

Excellent! Took our digital photo files in to have large movie-type posters made for our wedding. Ron resized and manipulated them right before our eyes to get them just right. Came in later to pick up, and they were perfect! Very reasonable cost as well. GREAT overall experience. read more

Maria is awesome! She does everything to perfection and very quick service. Thanks again and I will most definitely be coming back!

Friendly, professional service and they did a first class job. Fast too. They gave me a fair price, and it turned out I wanted a couple of extra services (can you do it right now while I wait) they put down what they were working on and got me taken care of. Honestly, my requests were not exactly reasonable under the circumstances but I was friendly and acknowledged I was asking a lot. Their attitude was, we can squeeze it in, so why not? They did everything I asked, did great work and were complelely courteous. They do all kinds of pro printing work here - canvers gallery wraps, printing on metal and tile, probably commercial and artsy services I don't even know about. If you have an important photo printing job to do, I'd recommend them. read more

I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for Maria. Once again she saves the day always takes my orders and gets them done with perfection and most times same day service. She's always there with a friendly smile gives great customer service. She is the reason why I continue to go there . it's always nice to have a local place to count on. read more

My first experience with fromex was great so I thought I would return to them with more business... Sadly today when I went in the girl was not in a good mood. She was very unhelpful and when I wasn't sure of what size I wanted my panoramic picture to me she sighed and mad me feel like an idiot. I asked if she could show me what sizes there were and she made it seem like I was a bother. I told her I would go somewhere else since it seemed like I was bothering her and she never apologized. I will never print pictures or go into fromex ever again. Bummed that their service was so rude and unhelpful. read more

Bad Service and awful photo quality. Do not bring your film to be developed here. I'm pretty sure they just go from film to digital and then print out the digital photo. It defeats the purpose of film. read more

I'm a photographer and always need good quality prints. My friend took me to Fromex and I'm in love! Maria is the best ever! She will tweek your prints if need be and get you going. She's has tons of knowledge and patience. I highly recommend Fromex for your prints!!! read more

I was in a rush to get shower invitations printed and in desperate need of a local printer, stumbled across them online and so glad I did. They printed shower invites, thank you cards and another item for me with very quick turnaround time and they looked amazing on Pearl White Linen paper. Already received compliments on the invites. Found all of their staff on the phone and in person to be great. The easy uploader was quick and easy and received emails when the jobs were done. Highly recommend them. Their printing for photos/canvas looks amazing as well. read more

I took some Xmas pictures here to have them enlarged for my wife for a present. First they helped me size them on their computer and made sure everything looked right. They told me it would be a 2 day turn around which seemed good compared to a few places I called around the holidays. When I went to pick the photos up they were not ready because their printer had broke the day prior. I was a little annoyed because had driven quite a ways but figured I should have called first, and it really was not their fault the printer broke. When I came in the next day to get my pics they again apologized for the delay, and only made me pay for half of my order. I thought this was impressive because I really didn't even complain about them not making the deadline. It seems to me they really understand what good customer service is supposed to be about. I will definely be a returning customer. The pictures came out great too!!!!! read more
