Before

Restored

Color recovered. Faces unchanged.

Your photographs are yours. We don't train models on them.

They're never shared with anyone, and we delete the originals you upload whenever you ask. Restoring them for you is the only thing we ever use them for.

Why I built this.

My grandmother kept her photographs in a shoebox under her bed. After she passed, my mother and I sat on the floor and went through them. Some were stuck together. Some had faded so far we couldn't make out the faces. A few were just gone.

I tried the apps. They gave me back strangers — people who looked vaguely like my grandmother but weren't her. I tried the mail-in scanners. They charged like a studio and treated the prints like inventory.

So I built what I wanted to exist: a careful service that restores what time faded without changing who was in the photograph. Faces stay yours. The work is done in small batches, reviewed by hand when it needs to be, and never used to train anything.

If you send me a photo of your father, you get back your father.

FAQ

Questions & Answers

No. Our restoration enhances what’s already in the photograph — it doesn’t generate new faces from training data. Every wrinkle, smile line, and characteristic feature is preserved. Grandma still looks like grandma.

Absolutely. Snap a photo of the print with your phone camera and upload it directly. No scanners, no cables, no special equipment. For best results, use good lighting and lay the photograph flat — our pipeline handles the rest.

Start with one photograph for $1.50. Standard restoration is $8 per photograph; volume pricing kicks in automatically (51–200 photographs at $5 each, 201–500 at $3 each). For 500+ photographs, our archive packages (Family / Estate / Heritage) bundle the whole collection at a fixed price.

You can download all your restored photographs at full resolution anytime during the 30 days — they’re yours to keep. After 30 days, your downloads remain on your devices. If you want ongoing cloud storage and family sharing, ask us about the vault — it’s how we keep the collection accessible from anywhere.

Your vault is designed to be shared with the people you choose. Each viewer gets their own access from any device — no app required, just a web browser. The email-invitation flow is rolling out gradually; reach out if you want to share a vault with family right now and we’ll set it up by hand.

Yes — for sizes up to 11x14 inches, the digital files we deliver are well-suited to home or print-shop printing. For fine-art prints at 16x20 or larger, we offer a hand-finished print preparation tier: we work the photograph in our Conservator workspace, prepare a print master at archival quality, and coordinate with our print lab. Reach out for a quote on a specific large print.

Consumer apps apply a single generic filter to every photograph. We run a precision pipeline focused on identity preservation: AI handles color and tonal restoration with strict identity-check guardrails, and a human Conservator hand-finishes any photograph our damage-check flags as difficult. The difference is most visible on faces — your family looks like your family, not a generated approximation.

Most orders are completed within 24–48 hours. Larger orders (100+ photographs) may take up to 72 hours. You’ll receive an email notification the moment your photographs are ready.

Yes. Our colorization analyzes the era, clothing, setting, and context of the photograph to apply historically faithful colors. The results read as natural — not the garish tints you see from basic colorization tools.

JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. If you’re photographing prints with your phone, save as JPEG — most camera apps do this by default. We handle the rest.

Yes. Photographs are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We never use your photographs for AI training, marketing, or any purpose other than your restoration order. You own your photographs — period.

If you’re not happy with a restoration, we’ll re-process it with adjusted settings at no charge. If you’re still unsatisfied, we offer a full refund — reach out and we’ll make it right.
