Upload one scan of an old photograph and repair the damage, recover the faces, add colour or enlarge it for printing — in about a minute a step.

Every frame here came from the scan above, each step working on the output of the last. Step through them and watch what each treatment actually changed — and what it left alone.
As it was scannedThe scan as it arrived — a crease through the middle, a torn corner, and faces gone soft.
Drop in a scan, tick the treatments, and the cost is on screen before you commit. The order is not yours to pick, because there is a right one — colouring in a tear before repairing it helps nobody.
Flat, straight on, the whole print in frame.
Tick any of the four. They sort themselves.
Each step works on the last one's output.
Full resolution JPG. Print it, share it, keep it.
Face restoration is held at 0.85 fidelity to the original pixels instead of being turned loose. Turned loose it produces a sharper, better-looking face — belonging to somebody else. A softer result that is the right person is the trade we make every time.
Grain, border and tonal range survive. The output should look like the photograph you own, not like it was taken last Tuesday.
Where the emulsion is gone entirely there is nothing to recover from, and what comes back is invention. We would rather tell you that than let you frame it unknowingly.
Standard JPGs at full resolution. No watermark, no export tier, and the original scan is never posted anywhere — it stays in your account and goes nowhere but the model.
A human retoucher still wins on the hard ones — a face half torn away, a photograph that matters enormously, anything where somebody needs to make a judgement about what was really there. Pay for that when it is the only copy of someone. This is for the other four hundred photographs in the box.
Nobody is going to pay a studio to restore four hundred snapshots. The ones that matter get done properly; the rest can at least stop fading in a drawer.
You need one good photograph of someone, at print size, by the weekend — and the only copy is small, creased and behind glass in someone's hallway.
Scans handed down through relatives arrive as low-resolution phone photos of prints. Sharpening the faces is often the difference between a name and a person.
One credit charge per finished step. Tick what your photograph needs to price it.
Steps always run in this order. Picking them in a different one would mean colouring in a tear before repairing it.
All 4 treatments on one photograph costs 12 credits — less than a studio charges to look at it. Steps that fail or are cancelled are not charged.
A flat, evenly lit scan or phone photo of the whole print, shot straight on. Include the full photograph rather than cropping in. Glare from a phone flash and a print photographed at an angle are the two things that hurt results most.
That is the thing we optimise for, and it is the reason results are sometimes softer than they could be. Face restoration is held at high fidelity to the original pixels rather than turned loose, because a sharp photograph of somebody who is not your grandmother is a failed restoration, not a good one.
Repair rebuilds torn areas, creases, stains and emulsion loss from what surrounds them. Where a face or an object is entirely missing there is nothing to rebuild from, and what comes back is an invention — plausible, but not recovered. Treat those results as a reconstruction rather than a record.
Yes. Tick as many as you want and they run as a chain, each one working on the output of the last. They always run in the same order — repair, sharpen, colourise, enlarge — because that is the order that works. Each step is billed separately.
A single treatment finishes in well under a minute. A full chain of all four takes a few minutes, and the photograph is saved as soon as the last step lands.
No. PhotoRevive uses credits you buy as needed, and you are only charged for steps that complete. Failed and cancelled steps cost nothing.
Yes. Your photographs are yours and so are the restored versions. You are responsible for having the right to upload the scan — most family snapshots are fine, but a studio portrait may still be the photographer's copyright even if the print is yours.
It is stored so your restorations can be reviewed or run again, and it is sent to the model that performs each treatment. It is not used to train anything. Deleting a restoration removes the upload behind it.
