What RestoreThisPhoto is

RestoreThisPhoto is a web service that uses AI to draft repairs for old photographs, including scratches, fading, creases, stains, and blur. It can also add natural color to black-and-white images, but that color is an interpretation rather than a recovered fact. Users can upload one scan or a batch of damaged prints; the service works on a digital copy and says the original scan is never altered. Three free previews per connection are available each calendar month without signup. A full-resolution restoration costs $7.99 per photo, with the rate dropping to $4.49 each on the largest batches. Each purchase includes up to three restoration attempts per photo, and downloads remain available for 30 days after purchase. Severely damaged areas may be reconstructed differently from the original, and missing faces, text, and precise colors cannot be recovered as facts. The privacy policy says uploads and restorations are kept in private cloud storage and are not used to train AI models. They are automatically deleted about 30 days after upload. Customers can contact support within 14 days of purchase to request a rerun or refund if a restoration is not right.

Who it suits

RestoreThisPhoto may suit people who want to repair family photographs and preview a result before buying a full-resolution restoration. Batch uploads may help people working with several damaged prints.

Limits

Free use is limited to three photo previews per connection per calendar month. Paid restoration costs $7.99 per photo, or $4.49 each on the largest batches, allows up to three attempts per photo, and keeps downloads available for 30 days.
