Obviously, they have to receive real film to process. The online part of it is their scanning service. They scan your negatives and slides to digital files and deliver them over the Internet. HOW they deliver them varies by lab. Most labs also offer various printing services, which you can feed by uploading your images from home over the Internet. OR, if you send them film, they can hold the images on their server and let you order from a thumbnail you find on their site.

98% of image use in 2024 is digital/virtual. Nearly all film images get converted to digital to be used. They even get converted to digital to be printed. The very best printing processes are all high-end pigment inkjet-based. That process gives you access to hundreds of different papers, canvases, and other substrates, and the inks last about five times longer than traditional silver halide chromogenic prints.

Replicolor in Salt Lake City does a good job of processing. I've never used their scanning service, as I have my own scanner.

I’ve used Memphis Film Lab and am quite satisfied with their results and pricing.

If you're willing to mail it you could try Black Lab Imaging in Flemington, NJ. It's been a while since I used them so check online to make sure they're still open. https://www.blacklabimaging.com or (908)751-5131. If you ship unprocessed film make sure the shipper does not X-ray it!

My experience with a few online film processors is they tend to land at the same overall price, but the results can be quite different. Overall price includes who pays the shipping back n forth, how much is each individual roll for development and what pixel resolution are the scans? Are the scans posted online only for download, or does a physical CD arrive back with the negatives? Personally, if you're shooting film in 2024, you need to consider the pixel resolution of the resulting scanned JPEGs. You should get at least 16MP. The scans -- and therefore all the associated costs -- are worthless for scanned images less than 16MP in the results. And, I mean 16MP for 35mm. If shooting larger format, the scans need more pixel resolution too.
