Watch: 5 Best Photo Printing Services in Toronto (2026)

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually rated the business, ranked against others in this search. Confidence weighs the rating by how many reviews back it up, and recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does a passport or photo print cost in Toronto?

Pricing varies by print size, quantity, and whether you need a digital copy alongside the physical print. General photo prints at a print shop or camera lab are usually priced per print or per order, separate from passport-specific packages.

JobTypical price
Passport photos, 2 prints (Passport Photo Toronto)$24.99
Passport photos, digital copy only$24.99
Passport photos, prints plus digital copy$39.99

Pricing published on Passport Photo Toronto’s own site, verified July 2026, plus HST. General photo printing and passport-photo pricing varies by shop and print size, so confirm directly for larger runs or same-day printing elsewhere in this list.

Photo printing across Toronto

These five cluster around downtown, from Dundas and Queen St through to King St and Yonge St, so a search for photo printing near me or passport photos near me downtown should turn up at least one within a short walk.

What to ask before you book a photo printing service

  • Is the photo guaranteed to meet passport or visa specifications, or will I be retaken for free if it’s rejected?
  • How long does the appointment or walk-in visit take?
  • Do I get a digital copy as well as prints?
  • What print sizes and paper types are available for general photo prints?
  • Do you need an appointment, or is it walk-in only?
  • What’s the turnaround for larger print orders?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We ranked every photo printing, passport photo and photo lab business that appeared for this search by real Google rating, review volume and how recently customers were still reviewing.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data and published pricing verified in July 2026, and gets refreshed as ratings and prices change.

Do I need an appointment for a passport photo?

Most of these shops accept walk-ins, but calling ahead is worth it during busy periods like summer travel season.

What’s the difference between a photo lab and a general print shop?

A dedicated photo lab like Downtown Camera’s DC Lab focuses on photo-specific printing and finishing, while a general print shop like Print Xpress also handles documents, flyers and business cards, with photo prints as one of several services.

The bottom line

For passport or visa photos specifically, A1 Photo Studio is the safe default on rating and review volume. For general photo prints alongside camera gear, Downtown Camera is the better fit. Either way, confirm the guarantee on government photo compliance before you leave.
