Restore one photo. Or your whole family's history.

Most restoration tools give you back one photo and send you on your way. PhotoHeirloom lets you restore as many as you need and keep them organized in a private album your whole family can enjoy — not just a single downloaded file.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?+

Yes — every account starts with 3 free restorations and 2GB of storage, no credit card required. Paid plans unlock more restorations and storage if you need them.

Will the result look natural, or too “AI”?+

We aim for a faithful, natural-looking restoration — true to the original photo, not an artificial or over-processed look. When we add color to a black-and-white photo, we use natural tones that are true to the time period. The goal is a photo that looks like it was always in color, not one that looks retouched.

Is my photo private?+

Yes. Your photos are never shared, sold, or used to train other AI models. Albums are private by default and only visible to people you invite.

Can I keep my photos stored for free?+

Yes. Every free account includes 2GB of storage, and your restored photos stay in your album for as long as you keep the account — no expiry, no credit card. If you outgrow 2GB, paid plans add more space.

Can I share my album with family members?+

Yes. Albums are private by default, and you can invite family with a simple link that works well in WhatsApp. They can view the photos you share — and contribute their own if you let them.

Can I also bring a photo to life as a short video?+

Yes — PhotoHeirloom can animate a restored photo into a short, gentle video clip.
