How can I make my Polaroid picture better?

Polaroid pictures develop best between 55-82 °F (13-28 °C), so if you’re planning a long day out in the sun, keep your film out of the heat until you’re ready to shoot–we like to use a cooler bag with a few ice packs inside–and keep your shots face-down away from any bright light or warm rays as they develop.

Why are my Polaroids coming out dark?

In most cases, photos turn out underexposed because there’s insufficient light. Instant cameras thrive in bright and sunny environments. If you’re shooting indoors, it’s best to use flash.
