If we can't do it justice, we won't send it.
Some photographs are too far gone for an honest restoration — and we'll never invent a face, or a detail, that wasn't there. If yours is one we can't do right by, we'll tell you, and you won't be charged.
How we restore your photos
Your photo is restored using professional, AI-assisted tools, then quality-checked and finished by a real person before it reaches you.
We restore what's there — we never invent a face, or a detail, that wasn't in your original. Your physical photograph stays with you; we only ever work on a digital copy.
Questions
Good to know.
Is my original safe?
Always. We only ever work on a digital copy — your physical photo never leaves your hands.
How do I send it?
Take a picture with your phone or upload a scan. 600 DPI is ideal, but a clear phone photo works too.
How long does it take?
Digital restorations are returned within 24 hours. Printed copies are posted and arrive in roughly 5–8 days.
What if it's not right?
We'll redo it or refund you. And if a photo is too damaged to do justice, you're not charged at all.
