Frequently asked questions
How can I restore an old photo on my iPhone?
Photograph the print with the in-app scanner (it crops and straightens automatically), then let the AI repair damage, sharpen detail, and revive the tones. No Photoshop, no desktop, no scanner hardware.
Learn moreCan black and white photos be colorized realistically?
Yes, modern AI predicts plausible natural colors from context: skin, sky, foliage, and fabric. Good colorization aims for believable, not flashy. It is always optional here; restoration and colorization are separate choices.
Learn moreCan a blurry old photo be fixed?
Usually, within honest limits. AI sharpening recovers soft focus, camera shake, and print fading very well. What is truly not in the photo cannot be invented without changing the person, which is exactly what this app refuses to do.
Learn moreWhat is the best way to digitize a whole photo album?
Use your phone camera with a steady technique: indirect light, straight-on angle, one photo at a time. Then restore the ones that matter most. A full guide with the exact workflow is below.
Learn moreWill it change my relative's face?
No, and this is the app's core promise. Most enhancers rebuild faces until the person looks like a polished stranger. This app repairs damage and keeps the real features: the same eyes, the same smile.
Is there a free restore?
Yes, one free restore so you can see your own photo come back to life before paying anything. After that it is one simple weekly plan, clearly priced, cancel anytime. No fake free trials.
