AI Photo Restoration: Revive Old Photos
PhotoRestore.ai is an online service for repairing and enhancing old photographs. Its publisher describes scratch and stain removal, repair of tears, colorization, and face enhancement. You upload a digital image, review a generated restoration, and download the result.
Prepare a scan for restoration
The site advertises a free trial without sign-up or a credit card. Its upload interface lists JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, and BMP. The workflow combines scratch repair, color reconstruction, and face enhancement in one pass, according to the publisher.
For a damaged print, retain an untouched scan before requesting edits. PhotoRestore.ai recommends scanning at 600 DPI to give its model more detail. It also identifies source quality as the biggest factor in restoration quality and suggests rescanning or adjusting brightness and contrast if the result disappoints.
Review reconstructed details and color
The publisher describes filling missing patterns and sharpening faces. Those are generated reconstructions, so compare important features with the original and with other known photographs where possible. Colorization should be treated as an interpretation unless you have a reference for the original colors.
The site promotes historically accurate color and faithful recovery, but the captured pages do not document a verification method for those claims. A visually clear face or repaired region does not by itself establish historical accuracy. This distinction matters when an image will become an archive record or a research illustration rather than a decorative family print.
Read pack prices and expiry together
The pricing page says each restoration uses one credit regardless of image size or damage. It lists a $5 Starter pack for five restorations, a $19.90 Popular pack for thirty, a $39.90 Family pack for eighty, and a $186 Archive pack for five hundred.
Starter credits remain valid for twelve months. Other listed one-time packs do not expire. The page also describes subscriptions with monthly credits that remain valid while the subscription is active, with unused credits available until the billing cycle ends after cancellation. It does not show subscription amounts in the captured text, so confirm the selected offer at checkout.
The publisher positions the service for family collections and professional restoration work. Review current privacy and usage terms before uploading private photographs or accepting a client job, since the captured pages do not explain retention or commercial-use terms in detail.
