How it works

Keep capture simple, then let PhotoScanRestore handle the cleanup and sharing.

What early beta families are saying.

I digitized four generations of family albums in a weekend. The restorations brought my grandparents’ wedding photos back to life.

Their family album is now digitized with restored color, sharper faces, and a private place to share it all.

My dad cried when he saw the color revived in his childhood negatives. Sharing the timeline kept our whole family connected.

FAQ

Common questions about digitizing and restoration

How clear should my uploads be?
Aim for a clean, sharp capture where faces and text stay crisp when you zoom in or print. Use bright, even light, keep your phone parallel, and avoid flash.
Do I need a flatbed scanner?
No. Your iPhone or Android plus steady lighting is enough. A flatbed only helps with delicate or curled items.
Can you fix fading and scratches?
Yes. After upload, we can bring back color, reduce glare, and soften scratches so faces still look like your family.
Is my family archive private?
Yes. Your timeline stays private, invite-only, and you can revoke access anytime.
How much does it cost?
Simple plans with a free trial are listed on the pricing page. Start restoring before you pay.
How is this different from apps like Photomyne or Remini?
Photomyne and Remini are mobile apps. PhotoScanRestore is a web app: you digitize with your phone camera or scanner, upload, then restore and share privately with family.
