Common questions
Does it only work on black and white?
No. Color photos benefit from the same cleanup, but the tonal reset is tuned for the grey fade unique to monochrome prints.
Can I colorize the photo after restoring?
Yes—once scratch removal finishes you can toggle Colorize to see a realistic palette instantly and download both versions.
Do I need to mail prints to you?
No shipping required. Upload a scan or phone photo, approve the result, and download the files instantly from your browser.
