What if my lab isn't on Filmara yet?

Ask them. The button on this page sends them a short message from you, and it takes a minute. Once they're on Filmara, every roll they scan for you gets its own page, with a direct line to them.

I use a few different labs. Does that work?

Yes. Every roll from every lab on Filmara sits on one page, grouped by lab, from a link we email you. No account, no password.

Yes. Download any roll whenever you like. The downloads are the full-resolution originals your lab sent.

Is it really free for me?

Yes. Your lab pays for Filmara. Opening, saving and asking about your rolls costs you nothing.

How long are my rolls kept?

For as long as your lab is on Filmara. If a lab ever leaves, you're emailed first and have 90 days to download everything.

What if Filmara shuts down?

You'd get 90 days' notice and time to download everything. It's in our privacy policy.

Are my photos used to train AI?

No. Your photos are never used to train AI, and never sold.

Every roll, every lab, one place.

No more expired links, lost zips or asking strangers. Your rolls stay in one place, and your lab is one question away. Free for photographers.

hey! did you get my 3 rolls?

any news on them?

Seen Tuesday

Ask your lab, not strangers.

Mark the spot on any photo and ask. The person who scanned your film answers, and you get an email when they do.

Every lab you use, kept together.

Use more than one lab? Every roll from every lab on Filmara sits on one page, from a link in your inbox. No account, no password.

Other photographers have asked.

Ask them. The button on this page sends them a short message from you, and it takes a minute. Once they're on Filmara, every roll they scan for you gets its own page, with a direct line to them.

Hi, I'm Owen.

Designer and film photographer

I shoot film, have done for 7 years or so. As we know, the film process is fragmented. That's what gave me the idea for Filmara: one place for the photographer and the lab.

A way for everyone involved in shooting, developing, and scanning a roll to connect and communicate better. If you shoot film and have thoughts on what Filmara should be, send me a message.

Prefer the formal route?

Want this for your next roll?

Your lab pays for Filmara. You open, save and ask about every roll for free. We'll write the message to your lab, you just send it.
