Frequently asked questions

How many credits does a restoration cost?

Three credits per photograph, charged only when a restored file is produced.

Will it change how people look?

No. The restoration is instructed to keep identities, poses, clothing and era unchanged and only repair damage.

What should I upload?

The clearest scan or photo of the print you have, in PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 10 MB.

Can it also add colour?

Use the colourisation tool for that — it is a separate three-credit run designed specifically for black-and-white photographs.
