Common questions

Is old photo restoration free to try? +

Yes. You can run one no-sign-in watermarked browser preview per device. Sign in to save results, continue restoring, and use 3 starter credits. Paid credits or Pro remove the watermark.

Do I need to sign in before uploading? +

No. You can upload a photo or choose a sample first. Visitors can try one watermarked browser preview before sign-in. Sign-in is used for saved results, downloads, more credits, and paid exports.

Which file types are supported? +

JPG, PNG, and WEBP are supported up to 10 MB. HEIC is not promised in the first release because that format needs extra conversion checks across browsers and phones.

Will the restored photo change faces? +

The tool is designed to preserve identity, pose, clothing, expression, and the original scene. Very damaged or tiny faces can still be uncertain, so use the before/after slider before relying on a result.

Can it colorize black and white photos? +

Yes. The Colorize page focuses on natural, period-aware color. It should not modernize clothes, backgrounds, or skin tones, but old prints with missing detail may still need a manual editor.
