<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">Photo Printing &amp; Photo Restorations at CVS Pharmacy</h2>
&nbsp;
CVS Photo Centers offer a range of services to help print out your pictures. From mini-prints and collages to height charts and banner prints, CVS handles a lot of quick printing jobs. And when I say quick, I mean same-day pickup quick for most projects. Now, I will give credit where credit is due. CVS is a great place to get a lot of not-so-old photos printed out; they'll even develop 35mm film or disposable camera cartridges. They have a great reputation for a reason, and we&rsquo;re definitely not looking to bad mouth them here.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
The question is, should you trust them with all of your printing needs? Personally and professionally, I would not trust them with wedding/family photos or any other photos of sentimental value. Especially if that image needs any restoration. I would go to a company that specializes in creating beautiful works of art, like Forever Studios.
The fact is, CVS is great for the quick stuff. If you just need basic prints for photos that don&rsquo;t need much (if any) work, then by all means, they&rsquo;ll get the job done for you. But if you need ultra-high quality prints that are for decoration, display, or archiving, they&rsquo;re not the right choice. Especially if the photo needs fixing or restoration. That&rsquo;s where your friends at Forever Studios come in.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">Why Are CVS Photo Kiosks So Popular?</h2>
&nbsp;
CVS Photo kiosks, like many other national photo retailers (I'm looking at you, Walgreens Photo, Walmart Photo, and Nations Photo Lab), are popular options because you can get your photos within a couple of hours. Sometimes, it can even be done within one hour (depending on the choice of paper type: glossy vs. matte and size print). And they offer such a wide selection:
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="font-family: Montserrat;">
Photo books
</li>
<li style="font-family: Montserrat;">
Wall decor
</li>
<li style="font-family: Montserrat;">
Passport photos
</li>
<li style="font-family: Montserrat;">
Cards
</li>
<li style="font-family: Montserrat;">
Larger prints
</li>
<li style="font-family: Montserrat;">
Pamphlets, etc.
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: left;">ARE CVS PHOTO CENTER SERVICES WORTH THE COST?</h3>
&nbsp;
Generally speaking, the results are satisfactory. But honestly, that&rsquo;s pretty much the most you should expect - a fairly good product for a somewhat reasonable price. There are a lot of companies that can provide the same online services with better quality. And CVS doesn't even have the lowest prices; there are more affordable options.
&nbsp;
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcKj261-DbV7H4PccZkR8sQC3-6iziCsnyUGHONS22arHqEEHLWGpG9K7SgLiyqfqmwpW4dMYNuZBeBxOEb15b-JG5cCpokHGUTxaLEpI-bbMrcFdyN7_-7Hm9VdLV4J16ob_pwTQ?key=WtrtTjeSPcbzxOG0wELpGEVu" alt="Taking a photo with a phone" width="624" height="328">
CVS Photo is the place to go when your phone's photo gallery is full.
&nbsp;
CVS photo is pretty middle ground quality-wise. For every positive review I saw online, there were reviews stating that the color saturation was off or the image was blurry and streaked. In all fairness, the original image files might've been low resolution. Regardless, CVS is the place to go when you want to get a lot of stuff printed when your phone's photo gallery or Google Photos is full.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">Does CVS Offer Photo Restoration and Color Correction Services?</h2>
&nbsp;
The short answer is, no it does not appear that CVS offers Photo Restoration at this point in time in 2025.
The long answer is that Google and various other websites say that CVS does offer photo restoration services and color correction, but this is likely a remnant of previous points in time where they have offered it in the past. Despite all of my best efforts, I can't find a legitimate direct link for photo restoration on the CVS website.
Even if they have offered photo restoration in the past, it would not have been done by CVS themselves. Typically a major retailer like CVS, Walgreens or Costco will make a deal with a 3rd party provider to rebrand their services and offer them through their photo centers.
Unfortunately this tends to add a significant layer of confusion and delays onto the process, and is why most of the deals that had existed to offer either digitizing or restoration through these major retailers have fallen through.
Forever Studios has never taken one of these deals, specifically due to the fact that it tends to badly compromise the customer experience. We&rsquo;d rather you found your way to us and used our platform, so we can make absolutely certain that you get the right experience and service.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: left;">AMERICAN PHOTO RESTORATION &amp; THE COST:</h3>
&nbsp;
The closest thing I can find to a service partner that has some sort of association between them and CVS is the company American Photo Restoration, which mentions CVS in their brand literature. Perhaps they are the most recent partner CVS has used in an attempt to provide photo restoration services (but we can&rsquo;t confirm this).
For $39, the minimum cost, you can get your photo "completely restored" or colorized. You get two 5x7 or one 8x10 photo print(s) and a CD with digital files.
It sounds like a great deal, but would you really trust CVS or its associate company to restore your vintage photos? No! You should go to a photo restoration expert. Because results matter. A good deal isn&rsquo;t a &ldquo;good deal&rdquo; if the product isn&rsquo;t great.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">Should I Trust a Quick Service Photo Editing Company or App?</h2>
&nbsp;
Another &ldquo;solution&rdquo; you may come across for photo restoration is the host of new quick services and apps on smartphone marketplaces. Any restoration services provided by a quick photo editing company or app depend on AI-generated alterations.
Often, such shortcuts create odd changes that are not historically accurate, offer poor quality results, or worse: the finished digital image may veer off into uncanny valley territory. And no, I'm not just hating on that questionable American Photo Restoration website.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">Forever Studios: A Trustworthy Professional Photo Restoration Company</h2>
&nbsp;
If you need <a href="https://foreverstudios.com/old-photo-restoration/">photo restorations</a>, you should go to a company that has actual artists who are trained in quality digital photo repairs. Regardless of the original condition: unwanted backgrounds, skin blemishes, sun damage, scratches, dust particles, mold damage, etc., we can handle it all. At Forever Studios, our professional photo restoration experts deliver museum-quality results in just 2 days. And these results are not auto-generated AI &ldquo;slop&rdquo;. This is real serious work by serious people.
&nbsp;
<h3 style="text-align: left;">WHAT SETS FOREVER STUDIOS APART?</h3>
&nbsp;
Unlike online photo service companies like iMemories, ScanCafe, and MemoryCherish, Forever Studios doesn't lean on photo restoration AI enhancements. Our experienced artists use advanced photo editing software and historical image references to digitally restore, <a href="https://foreverstudios.com/colorize-black-and-white-photos/">colorize</a>, and enhance your damaged photos.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">How to Restore a Photo at Forever Studios:</h2>
&nbsp;
At FS, the photo restoration process is made easy. Just upload a high-quality scan of the original photo (or you can send your photo by mail with our Pro Scan Kit), give us a brief description of what you want to be done (after all, there are countless editing options), and sit back as our team works their magic. And if you're not in love with the first round of changes, our artists will work with you to create a work of art that you will be proud to display.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">How Much Does it Cost to Restore a Photo at Forever Studios?</h2>
&nbsp;
Photo restorations cost $35 per image, while colorization is $55. If you want our lead artist, Olivia, to work on your restoration project, it&rsquo;s an additional $20. Unlimited revisions and digital downloads come with the price. And if you&rsquo;re thrilled with the final result (which you will be), we can print and frame it for you! (They make great gifts for families, too!)

<h3 style="text-align: left;">A GREAT REVIEW FOR FOREVER STUDIOS:</h3>
&nbsp;
Don't believe me? Well, don't just take my word for it. Here's a review from one of our satisfied customers:
"Unbelievable is all I can say. We couldn't be more pleased. We wanted a photo of my wife's parents and could only find a group black and white picture from our wedding back in 1967. I took a picture of it with my phone and then cropped it so it only had her parents. We sent that to Forever Studios, and they did their magic. I totally recommend them based on what they were able to accomplish and their outstanding personal and professional customer service."

&nbsp;
<h2 class="anchor" style="text-align: left;">Final Thoughts</h2>
&nbsp;
There are tons of "professional photo restoration services" out there, but don't let all of the extra frills, cheap online photo restoration tools, colorize features, and "stylish trim options" fool you into wasting your money on poor image quality.
Only Forever Studios can provide you with beautiful results that will stand the test of time, for an affordable price, in 1 to 3 days. Our team of experts will make sure your precious memories become treasured family heirlooms for future generations.
