What It Actually Fixes

Five kinds of damage, each handled by a model trained for it rather than one filter applied to everything.

Scratches and cracks

Found automatically and healed without touching the rest of the picture. The repair matches the paper grain around it, so it does not read as a patch.

Stains, tears and worn corners

Damaged areas are rebuilt from the surrounding texture. Missing corners and creases across a face are the cases people assume are unrecoverable.

Faded and blurry faces

A dedicated face model works on each face separately, up to 16 in one photograph. It recovers the features that are there rather than inventing a new face.

Colour from black and white

Colourisation that understands skin, sky, fabric and foliage, so the result is plausible rather than tinted. Works on faded colour photos too.

Resolution

Enlarge a small scan for printing, with the restoration applied first so the model is not amplifying scratches into features.

Before and after

Every result sits beside the original. Restoration is a judgement call, and the comparison is how you make it.

Your family photographs never leave the device

Photo restoration usually means uploading pictures of your family to somebody's server. This one runs the models on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

No account, no sign-in, no upload.
Works with no network connection at all - on a plane, or in a room with a scanner and no Wi-Fi.
Originals are never modified. Every restoration is saved as a new file.
Nothing is kept after you close the app, and no telemetry is sent about what you restored.
