How much does it cost? Is there a subscription?

$7.99 to download one restored photo — paid once, no subscription, nothing to cancel. Photo-restoration studios charge $35–$99 per photo and take days; this takes about a minute. If you have several photos, a small credit balance brings each one down to $5.

Will it still look like the real person?

The Restore option is faithful — it repairs and sharpens while preserving identity. The Colorize option adds color to black-and-white photos and is more interpretive: it produces a believable color version but can gently reinterpret fine details. Preview both free and keep the one you prefer.

Do I have to pay before I see the result?

No. Every restoration is previewed free (watermarked, full quality) so you see exactly what you’d get. You only pay for the one you love — and if you’re not happy after downloading, we’ll refund you.

Yes. Uploads are processed securely, never shared or sold, and automatically deleted. The clean file is only accessible to you after you unlock it.

What photos work best?

Old family photos, scanned prints, faded or scratched pictures, and black-and-white portraits. It’s especially strong on faces.

What “museum-grade” means here

Most one-click restorers run a single model and call it done. Museum-grade chains several specialized models in one pass: first it repairs damage and reconstructs faces, then — if you choose — it colorizes a black-and-white photo, and finally it upscales the result to a crisp 4K file you can print or frame. More steps, each doing one thing well, is what separates a quick clean-up from a restoration you’d actually hang on a wall.

What you can use it for

Repair damaged & scratched photos

Remove scratches, creases, dust and water damage from prints that have aged in a drawer.

Bring black-and-white to life

Add natural, historically plausible color to black-and-white photos — optional, on by your choice.

Reconstruct faded faces

Rebuild facial detail lost to age, fading and low resolution while keeping the person recognizable.

Print & frame quality

Get a 4K, full-resolution file crisp enough to reprint, frame or gift.

No subscription, no surprises

The popular restoration apps hook you with a result, then bill you weekly or auto-charge a trial — and reviews are full of people who couldn’t cancel. We don’t do any of that. You preview every restoration free, pay $7.99 once for the photo you want, and that’s it. No account to cancel, no recurring charge, and a full refund if you’re not happy.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the basic photo restorer?: The basic restorer does a single quick face-repair pass for $1.99. Museum-grade runs a full multi-step pipeline — repair and face reconstruction, optional colorization, and a 4K upscale — for a noticeably deeper, print-quality result. Use basic for a fast fix; use museum-grade for a precious photo you want to keep or frame.
