Best Post-Production Companies in Stockholm (2026)

Introduction

Stockholm has six full-service post-production companies worth a close look in 2026, ranging from Chimney, which has finished Swedish advertising and film since 1995, to small studios that grade and mix documentaries for SVT. Each one offers several stages of finishing under one roof, typically editing, online, colour and sound.

The city’s post market is busy with scripted drama for SVT, TV4, Viaplay, HBO Max and SkyShowtime, alongside a steady flow of commercials for Swedish brands. The largest change this year came at Chimney, which merged with fellow Stockholm house One Post to form Chimney Studios, added an AI studio, and named producer Sebastian Martinez as its next CEO from 1 January. Specialist VFX, grading, editing and sound houses have their own pages in this series, so this list keeps to companies that cover the full finishing chain.

Every company here has a working studio in Greater Stockholm in 2026. The list is shorter than others in the series because only these six could be verified as active full-service houses, and it is unranked, since the right partner depends on format, budget and schedule.

The best post-production companies in Stockholm

1. Chimney

Privately held · Stockholm · chimney.se

Chimney opened in Stockholm in 1995 and grew from a trailer and commercials finishing house into one of the best-known post names in northern Europe. Stockholm remains its headquarters, with satellite offices in Poland and a representative in Los Angeles. In 2026 it merged with One Post to form Chimney Studios, and Sebastian Martinez, founder of On Nox Pictures, takes over as CEO from founder Henric Larsson on 1 January.

The company covers VFX, sound design, colour grading and editing, with separate teams for advertising, scripted work and co-production. Its newer AI studio works alongside live action: Chimney handled post on ATG’s V85 launch film, which placed horses at Sergels torg. Larger productions should ask which parts of the merged group will staff their job.

2. Nordic United

Privately held · Vasastan · nordicunited.se

Nordic United is a post house on Döbelnsgatan with more than 20 years in TV and film and 22 studios at its Stockholm headquarters, plus further facilities in Gothenburg and Trollhättan. It offers edit and Avid suites, online and mastering, colour grading, VFX, and sound design including ADR and foley, with post-producers who manage the whole chain.

Its credits lean heavily on Swedish drama series: Heder and Veronika for Bigster, The Åre Murders for SF Studios, Bäckström for Yellow Bird, Mörkt hjärta for HBO Max and Jägarna for Harmonica Films. It also finished the feature Super Charlie for Nordisk Film. It suits multi-episode drama that needs predictable delivery.

3. The Line

Privately held · Östermalm · theline.se

The Line is a post-production house on Valhallavägen working across commercials, feature films and documentaries. The in-house team covers offline editing (Björn Clausen and Sara Hagwall), online (Anders Bergén), colour grading with senior colourist Rickard Ahlbäck, and sound design and music composition by Olle Ljungman.

The company also runs The Line Production, a production partner for commercials and scripted drama with links to Gotland and northern Sweden. VFX is not listed among its post services, so projects with heavy compositing will need a partner studio.

4. Tint

Privately held · Hornstull · tintpost.se

Tint runs its main Stockholm facility at Hornsgatan 174, with a sister office a few doors along at number 178 and a second location in Gothenburg. The Stockholm studio covers colour, editing, VFX, online, post producing, sound design and sound mix, which makes it one of the few houses in the city to keep every finishing stage in-house.

Featured work includes the features Triangle of Sadness, Julie Keeps Quiet and Tron: Ares, the series Skiftet, and a Volvo commercial, “Moments”. The showreel spans all departments, so ask which teams worked on the titles closest to your project.

5. Swiss

Privately held · Hammarby Sjöstad · swiss.se

Swiss (Swiss International AB) is a Stockholm studio focused on VFX, 3D, animation and colour for advertising, film, TV and music videos. It is the most effects-led company on this list, and it works for international clients from its studio on Hammarbybacken.

Recent work shown on its site includes Volvo’s EX60 film, Carlsberg Group’s Tourtel Twist and Oriflame’s Garden Symphony. It fits commercial jobs where VFX and the grade need to be handled by the same team.

6. Moment 22

Privately held · Södermalm · moment22.se

Moment 22 was founded in 1999 and works from Slipgatan on Södermalm, near Reimersholme. It produces film and TV itself, and also sells individual post services: offline editing, colour grading, sound mixing, and online finishing and mastering, along with remote editing set-ups for distributed teams.

Clients and collaborators include SVT, TV4, FLX, Fremantle, Discovery, Warner Bros. Sverige and Kungliga Operan. Lead cinematographer and colourist Andreas Söderberg has worked in the industry since 1994. It is a practical choice for broadcast and concert work that needs shooting and finishing from the same supplier.

What to look for in a Stockholm post-production company

Start with format. Stockholm’s larger houses are set up for drama series with fixed delivery specifications for broadcasters and streamers, while smaller studios are better suited to documentaries, where a single colourist and mixer may stay with the film from first assembly to DCP. Commercial work sits somewhere in between and often needs fast turnarounds on several versions and aspect ratios.

Check what is in-house. “Full service” can mean anything from a single Resolve suite with a sound room to a building of edit suites, grading theatres and a VFX floor. Ask which stages are done by staff and which are passed to partners, and whether the same people will stay on the project through each round.

Ask about deliverables early. Swedish broadcasters, international streamers and cinema distributors each have their own technical specs, and late changes to aspect ratio, loudness or subtitle formats are expensive. A good post producer will raise these at the start and build them into the schedule.

Finally, agree how material and feedback will move. Drama and commercials generate large camera originals, proxies, conform lists and many review cuts, and comments from directors, agencies and broadcasters can scatter across email. A single place for current versions, with feedback attached to exact timecodes, saves time on every round.

How Fabric helps post-production teams

Fabric gives a post team one workspace for media, project files, client feedback and notes, with AI search across all of it. Camera originals, proxies and renders sit in Fabric’s cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space, and heavy video files open without a full download. Shared team folders keep everyone on the latest version, and there is more on handling lightweight copies in what a proxy workflow is.

Search works by meaning across documents, images and transcribed recordings, and results jump to the page or timestamp. Audio and video transcription covers MP4, MOV, WAV and other common formats, which helps editors find a line of dialogue or an interview answer across a full season of rushes.

Review runs through sharing. A cut, a grade still or a mix can be shared with a director, agency or broadcaster as a commenter through a link that works without sign-up. Commenters leave timestamped comments on video and audio, draw on a video frame to point at a problem, and draw on images with a comment attached, and the team marks each comment completed once the fix is in. The annotations feature and collaboration tools cover how this works, and the review and approval guide sets out the workflow.

For final delivery, folders can carry password protection, and link analytics shows when each named recipient opened a link and how long they spent with it. Files are protected with AES-256 encryption, Fabric holds CASA Tier 2 certification, and workspace data is not used to train AI models.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.
