How to photograph an old photo with your phone
The picture you take is all the AI gets. Four details matter more than your phone model.
Daylight, no flash
Place the photo near a window, in indirect light. The flash leaves a white spot the AI can't undo.
No glare
Take the photo out of its plastic sleeve or glass frame. If it still shines, tilt your phone slightly until the glare is gone.
Straight and whole in the frame
Hold the phone parallel to the photo and frame all four edges without cropping anything. The AI works with what's in the frame.
Focus, no zoom
Move the phone closer instead of zooming, and tap the screen to focus. Digital zoom loses detail before the restoration even starts.
Browser, not an app
Everything happens in your phone's browser
RestauraAI is a website. You open it in Safari or Chrome, like any page.
Nothing to install
It takes no space on your phone and doesn't ask for access to your photos. You pick the photo you want to upload, one at a time or several.
Camera or gallery
When uploading, pick the photo from your phone's gallery; on many phones you can also take it on the spot. iPhone photos in HEIC are accepted too.
The result stays in your account
The restored photo stays in your account's gallery, behind a login. Before your first purchase, each photo is kept for 30 days; after it, the gallery keeps it with no time limit. Download it to your phone to print, keep or send to family.
How it works

Questions
Questions about restoring photos with your phone
The most common questions from people who want to do it all on their phone.
How do I restore old photos with my phone?
In your phone's browser, without downloading any app. Photograph the old photo in good light, open RestauraAI, create your account and upload it: the preview appears in seconds, free and with a watermark.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. iPhone photos in HEIC format are accepted and converted on the phone itself before uploading.
Does a picture taken of another photo turn out well?
Yes, if the phone picture is sharp, in daylight and without glare. Strong glare, flash or a blurry shot remove information the AI can't recover. If in doubt, take more than one and upload the best.
Can I restore a photo I received on WhatsApp?
Yes. Photos received by message are usually compressed; the AI reduces compression artifacts and increases resolution. If the family still has the paper photo, ask them to photograph the original: the result will be better.
Will people's faces look like themselves?
The restoration is guided to keep each person's features. If the face was scratched or erased, the lost area is the AI's interpretation: compare the preview with the original before downloading.
Can a black-and-white photo be recovered?
Yes. Besides treating the damage, the AI returns the photo in natural colors that fit the period. They are the AI's interpretation.
How much does it cost to restore a photo?
The first preview is free, with a watermark. To download without the mark, the entry pack costs US$2.99 and includes 1 coin. A 2K photo uses 1 coin; 4K uses 2 coins. In the 100-coin pack, each 2K photo comes to US$0.55. One-time payment, by card.
How long does it take?
The time varies with the image and processing. You follow the progress on screen.
Where are my photos kept?
Results stay in your account gallery, behind a login, and you can delete them from the panel. The Privacy Policy describes how data is used and kept.
What if the restoration fails or I do not like it?
If the generation fails, the coin returns to your balance. You see the preview before buying. Refunds follow the Terms: within 30 days of purchase, assessed case by case; coins already used are not refundable.
