Common questions

What does it actually fix?
Surface damage: scratches, creases, tears, foxing, dust and the general fading of an old print. It does not reframe the picture, invent people who were cut off at the edge, or turn a black and white photograph into a colour one — colouring is a separate tool.
How should I scan the print?
Flat, evenly lit and as large as your scanner will give you. A phone photograph works too if you avoid a hard shadow and the reflection of the light. The more of the print the file holds, the more there is to work with.
How many photos a day?
Three without an account — these runs cost us more than the other tools. With a free account there is no daily limit and each photo costs one credit.
Do you keep my photograph?
No. It is sent to the model, the result comes back to your browser, and nothing is stored. Only when you are signed in does the result go to your own history, because that is what an account is for.
