About this service

Send a scan or a phone photo of an old or damaged picture, and we bring it back: we remove scratches, dust, stains, creases and small tears, even out fading and yellowing, and make blurry details clearer. On request, we colourize a black-and-white photo with natural skin, clothing and background colours. Parts that are completely lost, such as a torn-off corner or a face worn away, are recreated to fit the photo, not restored exactly. You upload up to 5 photos (PNG, JPEG or WebP), and each finished picture is made from one of them. You get PNG images of about 1.5 megapixels, e.g. 1500 x 1000 or 1000 x 1500 pixels, in the shape of your photo: good for screens, social media, marketplaces and small prints, not for large prints or billboards. The picture is redrawn, so faces stay recognizable, but small details can differ; check the result and ask for a revision.

What we need from you

Up to 5 photos as PNG, JPEG or WebP: a flat, well-lit scan or phone photo without glare works best. Tell us what to fix, whether to colourize, any colours you remember (eyes, hair, a dress, a uniform) and where the photos will be used.

We will ask you:

  • What should we fix in the photos?
  • Should we colourize black-and-white photos?
  • Where will the restored photos be used?

Questions and answers

Can you restore a badly damaged photo?

Yes, but we cannot bring back what is completely lost. Missing parts are recreated to fit the photo, so they may differ from the original; the more of the face is left, the closer the result.

Are the colours accurate when you colourize?

They look natural, but we cannot know the real colours. Tell us what you remember, such as eye colour or a dress, and we follow it.

Will the faces change?

The picture is redrawn, so faces stay recognizable, but small details, text and facial features can differ slightly. Check the result and ask for a revision if something looks off.

Can I print it large?

The pictures are about 1.5 megapixels, e.g. 1500 x 1000 pixels: good for screens, social media, marketplaces and small prints, not for large prints, posters or billboards.

Which photos won't you work with?

We do not make photos for passports, IDs, visas or other documents, and we never change documents, certificates or receipts. No nudity or sexual changes, nothing that makes minors look suggestive, and we never swap a face for a celebrity or another real person. What is completely lost in a photo is recreated, not restored exactly.

Can I send any photo?

Send only photos you have the right to use, and get the permission of the people in them. Photos you found online or of strangers are not suitable.
