From the family album to your phone
Photo Restoration App (No Download)
No new app to make room for. The planned restoration tool will work in your browser, with a photo from your phone or a saved scan.

How it will work
From tucked away
to treasured again.
- 01
Start with a digital copy
Scan your print or take a clear photo. Keep your original safely tucked away.
- 02
Take a closer look
Compare an AI-restored preview with the original. Add color only if you want to.
- 03
Keep your favorite
Choose a paid high-resolution download, or leave after your free preview.
A thoughtful approach
A little clarity.
A lot of history.
A browser workflow for your phone
The planned tool is a website rather than an app-store download. You will open it in a modern iPhone or Android browser, choose a photo, and inspect a free preview before deciding about a paid file. It will not require an account for that first preview. This early marketing version explains the workflow; its upload area is a placeholder and does not request access to your library or camera. Keep your best original file ready for when processing opens.
Photograph a print in even light
Lay a stable print on a flat surface near indirect daylight and hold the camera parallel to it. Move yourself or the light if you see reflections rather than using a flash that creates glare. Include all four corners, then check the copy before putting the print away. A phone scanning feature may help crop the border, but avoid filters that remove detail. Do not flatten curled or fragile photographs by force; handling the original safely comes first.
Keep the full-size file
Messaging and social apps may shrink photos when you share them. If a relative sends you a scan, ask for the original file or a full-size transfer option. Keep it in a folder you can find from your browser's file picker. A screenshot of the picture is usually a poorer starting point. File support and size limits will be displayed when the upload service is available, rather than asking you to guess whether a phone format is accepted.
Review comfortably on a small screen
A phone screen can make a result look convincing at a glance. Take time to compare expressions, edges, and damaged areas. Rotate the screen or use a larger display if that makes the comparison easier. Save your original separately from any AI-restored download, and avoid sharing a private link in a public post. The planned service keeps photos private, does not use them for training, and deletes them after seven days with an option to delete sooner.

A few things to know
Your questions,
answered.
Do I need to install an iPhone app?
No app-store download is planned. Restoration will run through the website in a supported browser. Photo processing is not yet enabled in this early version, so there is no app installation or upload to complete today.
Will the site work on Android?
The planned browser workflow is designed for both Android phones and iPhones. The marketing pages already use a responsive layout. The full upload and preview flow will be tested on mobile as part of the next milestone.
Can I take a photo instead of scanning?
Yes, a carefully taken digital copy can be a useful starting point. Use even light, keep the phone parallel to the print, and check for blur. A flatbed scan may still capture more detail when one is available.
Does this restore the physical print?
No. A browser tool edits a digital copy. It does not repair paper, remove mold, or preserve a fragile original. Ask a conservation specialist about physical damage and safe storage.
Will my whole photo library be uploaded?
The intended workflow processes only the file you explicitly choose. This early version has no active file picker and collects no photographs. The privacy policy explains the planned storage and deletion approach.
