FedEx/Kinkos Photo Restoration and Printing: What to Expect

FedEx Office (formerly Kinkos) is widely accessible — over 2,000 locations across the US — and many people associate it with document and photo printing. Here's what FedEx Office actually offers for old family photographs, and how to use it as part of a restoration and printing workflow.

Does FedEx Office Restore Old Photos?

FedEx Office does not offer photo restoration services. It is a print and document services center — it prints what you provide, at the quality you provide it.

If you upload a faded, scratched old photo to FedEx Office's print service, it prints the faded, scratched photo. The restoration needs to happen before printing.

Where FedEx Office Shines for Photo Projects

Large format for memorial displays: FedEx Office's large format printing (18×24, 24×36 poster size) is one of the most accessible options for memorial service portrait displays and photo boards. Restored portrait photographs print well at poster size from HD files.

Same-day availability for urgent needs: For memorial services, family reunions, or other events where the printing is needed today, FedEx Office's wide availability and same-day service is a genuine advantage.

Canvas wraps: Some FedEx Office locations offer canvas wraps, which work well for restored portrait photographs for home display.

Color accuracy: FedEx Office's print quality is generally calibrated and consistent — restored photographs print with accurate colors when the file quality is high.

FedEx Office is priced higher than pharmacy photo kiosks and higher than Walmart/Costco for standard sizes. The premium is for large format availability, quality, and same-day service.
