The source is usable
Start with a representative scan. If the face is tiny, heavily compressed, or hidden by glare, make a better scan before spending credits.

This page is for people who want to test one family photo before choosing a paid plan. Upload the photo first, run a watermarked browser preview, then sign in only if the result is worth saving, downloading, or restoring again.

Testing a family album scan
Checking whether a damaged photo is recoverable
Trying colorization before buying credits
Free preview is for judging quality. For framing, archive delivery, or client work, use paid credits or Pro so the download is watermark-free and higher resolution.
What the free preview should prove
Use the preview as a decision test, not as a promise that every photo in an album will behave the same way.
The person still matches
Compare the eyes, mouth, face shape, clothing, and background with the untouched scan. Cleaner is useful only when identity stays faithful.
A paid export is worth it
The preview is watermarked. Buy credits or Pro only after the visible result is good enough for the way you plan to save, share, or print it.
Before and after examples
These illustrated samples show three different jobs to try before choosing a paid export: fading, physical damage, and color interpretation.
Before
After
Faded family portrait
This illustrated example shows stronger contrast and clearer faces while keeping the composition and outdoor setting recognizable.
Before
After
Scratched school portrait
This illustrated example shows scratches, fold marks, and dust reduced without deliberately restyling the portrait.
Before
After
Black and white wedding photo
This illustrated example shows one restrained color interpretation. The original scan remains the historical reference.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need a card for the free preview? +
No. You can run one watermarked browser preview before signing in. A card is only involved if you later choose a paid option.
What happens after the free preview? +
Sign in only if you want to save the result, continue restoring with starter credits, or use paid credits or Pro for a watermark-free export.
What if the preview is not good enough? +
Do not pay for that result. Try a sharper, uncropped scan with less glare or compression, then compare again.
