Like CVS, Walgreens is a pharmacy that also offers a range of photo services, including photo restoration.
And with thousands of locations across the country, it can be a convenient option – you can easily walk into a nearby Walgreens and get old family photos touched up and looking as good as new. But is Walgreens’ photo restoration actually any good?
While the pharmacy chain does a decent job at photo restorations, their overall service is easily surpassed by more professional outfits.
Read on to find out why professional image restorations are best left to experts like us, or head over to our order page to get started immediately!

What Is Walgreens' Photo Restoration Service Like?
Walgreens’s photo center offers same-day photo prints, passport photos, gift cards, canvas prints, and photo book customization. Most of these can be done either in-store or online.
The Walgreen’s Photo Center website
In most cases, you can simply upload your photos online, do some basic editing – cropping, adding filters, etc. – and send them off to be printed by your local branch. Simple prints, cards, and photo books can all be picked up in about a day.
Walgreens’ photo restoration, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated. Here’s why:
In-Store Only Service (At Limited Branches)
If you’re looking for online photo restoration, Walgreens falls short on that front – you won’t find any options for photo restorations on their website. Not all shops offer in-store restorations either, so you’ll have to call your nearest Walgreens to find out where you can bring your pictures.
Meanwhile, at Image Restoration Center, you can have your photos restored online and in three simple steps:
- Upload your photos to our server
- Wait 24 to 72 hours while we get to work
- Receive your products via email
It’s that easy!
Outsourced Photo Restoration Service 👎
If you do find a nearby Walgreens that restores photos, you aren’t assured of the kind of service you’ll get. This is because Walgreens outsources to an outside vendor who takes on the heavy Photoshop restoration responsibilities.
Not only does this add a layer of uncertainty to the quality of your restorations, but it also means it can take longer to get your images. According to some Walgreens photo restoration reviews online, it can take about a week to receive the finished product.
3 Reasons To Choose Image Restoration Center Instead
1. Expert Care, Always
Walgreens is a pharmacy that focuses on health and wellness products. While photo editing is commonplace in US pharmacies, it doesn’t mean they employ experts.
Because photo restorations are our bread and butter, we’ve put together a diverse team of photographers, colorizers, and historical advisors – some of whom have over 20 years of experience in photo restorations, repair, and enhancement.
