Questions people ask
How much does it cost to restore an old photo?
AI photo restoration typically costs $2–5 per photo online, while professional manual restoration costs $50–200. We charge $3.99 for one photo (or $9.99 for a 10-photo pack) with a free watermarked preview.
Will AI change my grandmother’s face?
You always get the final say: tap any face you’re unhappy with and we swap in the untouched original before you download.
Is the colorization accurate?
Colorization is an educated reconstruction, not a historical record — the true colors are unknowable. We use era- and region-appropriate palettes and mark heavily rebuilt areas as AI interpretation.
What happens to my photos?
They are processed by our AI providers and automatically deleted within 24 hours. We never use customer photos to train models.
Do you have an app?
We’re web-first: no install needed, works on any phone. Open the site, upload, done.
What is The Old Photo Studio?
The Old Photo Studio is a web app that restores and colorizes old photos with AI: $3.99 per photo or $9.99 for a 10-photo pack, free watermarked preview before payment, and uploads permanently deleted within 24 hours.
How long does a restoration take?
Most photos are ready in under a minute. The free preview is where you check the result — the paid download is the same image in full resolution, watermark-free. If a photo fails, nothing is charged.
Is it safe to upload my photo?
Yes. Your photo travels over an encrypted connection, only you can see it, and it is never shown publicly or shared with anyone. It is automatically deleted within 24 hours — you don’t need an account, so there is nothing of yours left to leak.
Do I need a scanner, or is a phone photo good enough?
A phone photo works fine. Lay the print flat near a window (daylight, no flash), hold the phone level above it and fill the frame. If you already have a scan, even better — more resolution gives the AI more to work with.
What can I do with the restored photo?
Whatever you like — it’s yours. Print it, frame it, share it with family or use it in a memorial album. The download is full resolution with no watermark, and you keep all rights to your image.
