AI photo restoration app
AI Photo Restoration App
Bring back the old photo your family still talks about, right from your phone.
Free to try. Start with one photo.
iPhone and web
First restore free
Built for family photos
A stained family portrait cleaned up while keeping the older photo feeling intact.
Choose the right path
Use the app when the photo is in your hand. Use web when the file is already digital.
The best starting point depends on where the memory lives today. The result should feel simple either way.
Photo in a frame or album: open the iPhone app and scan it.
Photo already on desktop: upload it in the browser.
Android phone today: use the web restore while the Android app is not live.
Large family archive: test one photo first, then choose credits or a membership.
Direct answer
PhotoScanRestore is an AI photo restoration app for families with old prints, damaged scans, faded color photos, black-and-white portraits, and pictures that feel too important to leave in a box. Use the iPhone app when you want the scan-and-restore flow in one place, or start in your browser if the photo is already on your computer or Android phone. The first restore is free, so you can see whether the photo comes back naturally before choosing credits or a membership for the rest.
Real examples

These examples show the kinds of photos people try first: stains, tears, black-and-white portraits, faded color, and soft detail. The safest way to judge quality is to restore one photo before paying for the rest.
How it works
How the AI photo restoration app works
Step 1
Choose
Pick the old print, scan, or camera-roll image you most want your family to see again.
Step 2
Restore
Bring back fading, stains, scratches, tears, colour, and soft detail where the source still has enough information.
Step 3
Keep
Save the restored photo, then decide whether the rest of the archive is worth restoring.
App pricing
Try the first restore free, then choose credits or membership
Start with one photo before committing to a family archive. Paid options are simple: one-off Photo credits for a small batch, or Monthly / Annual Membership for steady archive work.
One-off credits
$14.99
10 non-expiring Photo credits for a small family batch.
Before you upload
Know what the app can and cannot do.
Will it make old photos look fake?
The goal is a natural family-photo result, not a plastic portrait. Very damaged photos can still show limits, which is why the first restore is free.
Is this only for iPhone?
No. The iPhone app gives the smoothest scan-and-restore flow, but the browser restore works on desktop, Android, iPad, and other modern browsers.
Can it fix torn or stained photos?
Small and moderate damage can often be improved. Severe missing faces, heavy mold, or fragile physical originals may need a specialist retoucher or conservator.
Can it colorize black-and-white photos?
Yes, when the source image has enough detail. Colorized results should still be checked by the family because clothing, rooms, and objects may not have known original colors.
What if the photo is already a scan?
Upload the scan in the browser or app. A sharper scan usually gives the restoration more detail to work with than a compressed screenshot.
Do I have to subscribe?
No. You can start with one free restore and use one-off Photo credits if you only have a small batch.
FAQ
AI photo restoration app questions.
What is an AI photo restoration app?
An AI photo restoration app helps repair old or damaged photos by improving fading, scratches, stains, softness, colour, and contrast in a digital image.
Is PhotoScanRestore available on iPhone?
Yes. PhotoScanRestore has an iPhone app, and you can also use the browser restore if your photo is already on desktop, Android, or another device.
Can I restore one old photo free?
Yes. Start with one free restore so you can see whether the result feels natural before choosing a paid Photo credit pack or membership.
Does the app scan printed photos?
The iPhone app is built for a phone-first scan-and-restore flow. You can also upload existing scans or camera-roll photos.
Is AI photo restoration as good as a professional retoucher?
Not always. PhotoScanRestore is faster and simpler for everyday family photos. Severe missing detail, museum-grade work, or fragile originals may need a professional.
How much does PhotoScanRestore cost?
You can try one restore free. Paid options include a $3.99 Single Photo, a $14.99 Starter Pack with 10 Photo credits, a $49 Archive Pack with 100 non-expiring Photo credits, a $19.99 Monthly plan with 50 Photo credits, and a $149 Annual plan with 500 Photo credits.
Can I use it on Android?
Use the browser restore on Android for now. The iPhone app is the native app currently promoted on the site.
What kind of photo should I test first?
Start with one meaningful photo that has fading, stains, scratches, a tear, or soft detail but still has visible faces and enough information to restore.
