What customers say
I brought an exposed film roll to Gelatin Labs and they did a wonderful job recovering my images! Most of the images I was crossing my fingers to be saved were! And they were so quick with sending my scans the following business day. My scans came out beautifully, I'm so pleased!
First time working with Gelatin Labs - they just opened this location in east village making dropping off and picking up super easy. They are family owned and very professional. I felt the film I dropped off was well taken care of and in trustful hands.
I discovered this store through a photographer who shared his positive experience with the development and scanning of his film. Since then, I’ve been following Gelatin Labs on Instagram, and I finally had the opportunity to scan my photos in their New York store. My experience here was absolutely amazing.
After using Gelatin for almost the past 3 years, I am continuously impressed with the quality of work and customer service they provide. Everyone I have come across at the lab is passionate about photography and treat my film/scans as if it were their own.
