Quick answer

How do you turn a restored photo into wall art?

Restore the photo, download the file without the watermark, preferably in 4K, and take it to a print shop or frame store to print and frame. RestauraAI delivers only the digital file; printing, framing, price, and turnaround belong to the shop you choose.

What to do with the file

Three pieces a restored photo can become

  • A portrait for the living room

    A family photo front and center, in the frame you choose at the store.

  • A wall of several photos

    Restore photos from different eras and build a gallery wall with several frames.

  • A framed gift

    Hand over the finished piece or just the file, so they can print it the way they prefer.

Before you print

Four things to agree with the print shop

  • Choose the finish

    Print shops usually offer photo paper and canvas prints, plus frames; some also print on acrylic. Each option has its own price and turnaround.

  • Download in 4K to enlarge

    4K keeps more detail for large sizes. How sharp it looks on the wall also depends on the original photo.

  • Ask about resolution and file type

    Every print shop has a minimum requirement. Ask first and check that it accepts the file you downloaded.

  • Check the cropping

    An old photo may have different proportions than the frame. Ask to see how the crop looks before printing.

Questions

Questions about printing wall art

Is 4K enough for a large print?

4K is the most detailed file RestauraAI delivers. For how large it prints well, ask the print shop; the result also depends on how much the original photo kept.

Do I need a scanned photo?

No. Photograph the paper print with your phone, in natural light and without glare, and upload it. If you have a scanner, a scanned file works too.

Does RestauraAI print or frame?

No. We deliver the digital file. Printing, framing, price, and turnaround are up to the print shop or store you choose.

How much does it cost?

The first preview is free, with a watermark. The file without the watermark starts at US$2.99. One photo costs 1 coin at 2K or 2 coins at 4K.
