Restore a photo

// How it works //

Three steps. No editing skills needed.

If you can attach a photo to an email, you can restore one.

01
Upload a scan or a phone photo
Photograph the print flat in daylight or use a scanner. JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB work, and you can add up to five photos at once and crop each one first.
02
Restore in about a minute
Tears, creases, stains and fading are repaired and faces are sharpened. Natural colour is added unless you switch on Preserve original colors. You can leave the page while it works.
Smile + Wave
03
Compare, download, animate
Drag the line across each face to check it against the original before you save. Then download the full-resolution PNG or turn it into a short video.

// Restoration //

Every kind of damage, repaired without losing who they were.

Drag the line on any photo. The left side is the print as it came out of the box; the right side is what you download.

Torn into pieces

Pieces that were taped, folded or split apart are joined again, and missing paper is filled in from what surrounds it. Faces keep the shape they had in the print.

Cracked, flaking photo of two women and a child

Cracks and flaking

Cracked emulsion, scratches and dust are lifted without smoothing away skin, hair or the weave of a dress.

Faded black-and-white photo of a brother and sister

Black and white to colour

Restore and colorize in one pass, or switch on Preserve original colors to keep the print black and white.

Water-damaged photo of three sailors in front of a ship

Water damage and stains

Tide marks, mould spots and lifted patches are cleared, and the faces underneath come back into focus. The ship behind them stays where it was.

Also fixes fading, yellowing, blur and dark exposures. 1 credit per photo.

// Family portrait //

Relatives who never shared a photo, together in one portrait.

Send one photo of each person, including someone you have lost, and choose a setting. BringBack matches the light and scale so everyone looks like they were there together.

Together, in one portrait

The photo they never got to take

A late grandfather's old black-and-white print, joined with recent photos of his son and grandchildren. You pick the setting from 24 scenes. The result is a new commemorative portrait made from your photos, not a historical photograph.

2 credits per portrait.

// Gentle Motion for Family Photos //

Watch them blink, smile and look at you once more.

Nine gentle animation styles, from a slow blink to a small wave. Each clip lasts a few seconds and stays close to the photo, so it still feels like them.

Warm Gaze

Smile + Look Around

Gentle Smile

Subtle Blink + Head Tilt

Smile + Wave

Restored first, then animated

The large clip is the couple from the top of this page, restored and then animated with Warm Gaze. Restore a damaged photo before you animate it and the faces come out clearest. Clips are silent and a few seconds long.

10 credits per animation.

// Our principles //

Restored, not replaced.

A restoration should look like the day the photo was taken, not like a new person. These are the rules every BringBack result follows.

01
The original stays the reference
Every result opens beside the photo you uploaded, with a line you can drag across each face. You decide whether it still looks like them before you download.
Kept black and white
Colour added
02
Colour only when you want it
Switch on Preserve original colors and a black-and-white or sepia print is repaired without being colorized. Leave it off for natural colour.
03
Honest about missing detail
When a face is badly faded or blurred, detail has to be rebuilt. We say so plainly, and the comparison shows you exactly what changed.

04
Your photos stay yours
Results stay in My Media until you delete them. Your family photos are not used to train general-purpose AI models.

Not sure it will work on your photos? Watch it work first.

Before you buy: family portraits and Add Person work for up to 8 people in total. In bigger groups AI distorts faces, so they aren't a good fit for large group photos.

// FAQ //

Questions families ask before they start.

Restoration, animation, privacy and pricing, answered plainly.

You upload a scan or a phone photo of the print. BringBack finds tears, cracks, stains, fading and blur, repairs them and sharpens faces while keeping the person's features. Natural colour is added unless you switch on Preserve original colors. The result opens beside the original so you can compare before you download.

Tears and missing pieces, cracks, scratches, dust, water stains, mould spots, fading, yellowing, blur, and dark or washed-out exposures. The more of a face that survives in the print, the closer the result stays to the real person.

Where a face is clearly visible, it is kept close to the original. Where it is torn away or badly blurred, detail has to be rebuilt and may not match exactly. Drag the comparison line across each face and download only when you are happy with it.

Nine: Gentle Smile, Smile + Wave, Soft Nod, Subtle Blink + Head Tilt, Smile + Look Around, Warm Gaze, Peaceful Presence, Loving Recognition and Gentle Talking. Clips are silent and a few seconds long. Gentle Talking moves the mouth but does not create a voice.

Restoration Starter is $4.99 for 4 credits, Value Pack is $9.99 for 20 credits, and Family Pack is $21.99 for 60 credits. Restoring or colorizing a photo costs 1 credit, a family portrait or adding or removing a person 2 and an animation 10. Credits never expire and there is no subscription.

JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB each, and up to five photos at once for restoration. A scan gives the best result; a flat, evenly lit phone photo of the print also works. Restored photos download as full-resolution PNG files.

Most restorations finish in about a minute. Animations take longer and keep rendering if you leave the page; finished results appear in My Media.

Photos are processed only for the tool you choose. Results stay in My Media until you delete them. Your family photos are not used to train general-purpose AI models.

Yes. Credit packs come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If a restoration fails, the credit for that photo is returned to your account automatically.
