FondlyAn alternative to MyHeritage photo tools
Restore, sharpen and colorize old family photos without signing up for a genealogy subscription. Two photos a day are free.
Taking a picture of a print? Lay it flat by a window in daylight and turn off the flash, so there's no glare.

Print sizes 4×6, 5×7 and 8×10, cut to shape for any photo lab
A lovely gift: print it and frame it for someone in the photo. Drugstore photo centers print 4×6 to 8×10 the same day. Or give a Fondly gift card →
How to restore a photo without an account
- Scan the print or take a straight, well-lit phone picture of it (no flash, avoid glare).
- Drop the photo into the box above and pick what to fix.
- Wait 10–60 seconds while the AI restores it.
- Drag the slider to compare, then download the restored photo.
How Fondly is different
- No account or family-tree subscription needed: open the page and restore.
- Scratch, tear and crack repair, face sharpening, colorizing and 4× enlargement in one step.
- Pay once with a credit pack if you need more photos; no recurring plan required.
- Photos are deleted within an hour and never used for training.
When a genealogy platform makes more sense
If you are building a family tree, matching DNA or researching records, a full genealogy platform offers far more than photo tools. Many family historians use both: they restore photos here and upload the results to their tree.
Features and prices of other services change over time; compare on your own photos.
Frequently asked questions
Is Fondly connected to MyHeritage?
No. Fondly is independent. MyHeritage is a trademark of its owner and is mentioned only for comparison.
Can I upload restored photos to my family tree?
Yes. Download the restored JPG and upload it to any family tree site, ideally labeled as restored.
Do you keep my photos?
No. Your photo is processed by our AI provider and deleted within an hour. We never store, view or train on your photos.
