Photo Restore – Fix Old Photos is an iOS app from MomentumLab for improving old, blurry or damaged photographs. Its tools sharpen details and reduce blur, add colour to black-and-white pictures, and repair scratches, tears and other damage. It can also turn a photo into a professional headshot. A before-and-after slider lets users compare an original with its enhanced version, and finished photos can be saved to the photo library. The free tier provides three photo credits each day, which reset daily. Yearly Pro costs 219.99 USD per year and includes 60 photo credits per week, no ads and HD quality. The app also supports image-to-video animation, with face animation, camera motion and lip-sync; clips can be up to five seconds long. Photo Restore supports iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later, and is not verified for macOS. MomentumLab says photos are processed through an encrypted API and are not stored on external servers. Apple's privacy disclosures say photos or videos may be collected without being linked to the user, while user content shared for customer support may be linked. MomentumLab operates from Sydney, Australia, and links to Photo Restore Lab for restoration guides and photo-preservation advice.
