How to make a restored photo gift
- Borrow the original photo quietly (or ask a sibling to take a picture of it).
- Scan it or photograph it in daylight, then restore it above. Try it colorized too.
- Download the enlarged version (4× with credits or Pro for big prints).
- Order a print or canvas from any photo lab, or frame it yourself.
Gift ideas by occasion
- Mother's Day: her mother's portrait, restored and framed, or a "three generations" set.
- Father's Day: a restored photo of him as a young man, or with his own dad.
- Christmas: a set of restored family photos, one for each sibling.
- Wedding anniversary: the original wedding photo, restored and in color for the first time.
- A milestone birthday (70th, 80th, 90th): a photo from the year they were born, or of them as a child.
- Memorial gift: a restored portrait of someone the family has lost.
Making the print look its best
- Up to 5×7 in: the free 2× enlargement is usually enough.
- 8×10 in and larger, or canvas: use 4× enlargement (up to 4800 px).
- Choose matte paper for old black-and-white photos; it suits their tone and hides fingerprints.
- Put the restored and original side by side in a double frame for a "then and now" effect.
Keep it a surprise
A phone photo of the print is enough to restore it, so you never have to take the original out of the house. Hold the phone directly above it, near a window, without flash.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
Two photos a day are free. For a gift with several photos, a credit pack is $9 for 50 photos, with no subscription. Printing costs whatever your photo lab charges.
How long does it take?
Each photo takes 10–60 seconds, so you can still make a gift the night before.
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.
