What VanceAI Photo Restorer is

VanceAI Photo Restorer repairs common damage in old photographs, including scratches, tears, stains and creases. Its automatic workflow also corrects faded color and sharpens facial details. After restoration, users can optionally make a separate colorized copy of a black-and-white photo or send the result to a separate upscaler for a larger reprint.

The web app processes one image at a time, while VanceAI for PC on Windows supports batch work and processes files locally. Web users can begin with free credits and preview a result without a watermark or credit card; each completed restoration uses credits. Web uploads can be up to 10MB and 34MP, and paid web plans provide results without watermarks. Uploaded images are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours. Local PC processing uses no credits, has no queue and accepts images of any size. The pricing note lists paid access from $9/mo (annual).
