About the lab

How the lab works.

Droproll is a film camera that lives on your phone. Load one of 21 stocks and shoot 36 frames. No previews, no deletes · the roll stays sealed on your phone until you send it to the lab.

Developing is free.

Standard lab: $0 · back in minutes
Express lab: $8 · usually under 15 minutes

Both lanes need a sign-in: an email for the standard lab, a wallet for Express.

Launch · every roll back in minutes until 100 members have joined · 9 so far

The wait

You don't get to peek.

There is no preview screen and no delete button. Every frame goes straight into the roll and stays there. You find out what you got on the day the lab hands it back · that is the point.

36 frames per roll: Shoot them over an afternoon or over three weeks. The roll waits with you.
0 previews: No screen, no chimping, no deleting the bad ones. What you shot is what develops.
MINUTES at the lab: Launch: standard developing is free and goes straight through, until 100 members have joined. The waiting comes back then.

How it works

From loading to pick-up.

Load a film

Pick one of 21 stocks. Colour, black and white, slide or cinema · each one develops with its own character.

Shoot 36 frames

One tap, one frame, like the real thing. The counter goes up and nothing appears on screen. The roll stays loaded on this phone for as long as you need it to.

Send it to the lab

When the roll is full (or whenever you run out of patience), send it in. Standard is free and takes minutes. Express is $8 and comes back usually under 15 minutes.

See what you got

The developed roll is waiting in your profile. Download every frame at full resolution, keep them, share the roll. Want an email when it lands? Turn it on in Settings.

The lab

Two ways to develop.

Standard lab

Free

Back in minutes

Launch · every roll back in minutes until 100 members have joined · 9 so far

Every roll, every stock, no charge and no limit. Your frames join the queue and come back with the stock's own colour and grain. Your roll lands in your profile. Want an email too? Turn it on in Settings.

Express lab

$8 a roll

Back usually under 15 minutes

Same 36 frames, back the same day you send them. Pays for the rush and for a machine develop that pulls detail out of hard light. Paid in USDC on Base or Solana, from a wallet you sign in with.

Both lanes hand back full-resolution frames. Yours to keep.

The other door

Shot it on something else?

Send frames from your camera roll through the same developing. Pick a stock, drop in up to 36, and they come back with the same treatment · standard free, express $8.

Community stocks

Or mix your own.

Bring a .cube and the lab develops on it: it builds the box, puts your name on it and puts it on the shelf for anybody to load. The house stocks stay where they are.

Load your first roll.
