Restore Your Photo

About this app

Restore Your Photo is a browser-based AI tool that repairs scratches, creases, blur, fading, and water damage on old photos, colorizes black-and-white images, and even animates restored portraits into short video clips. Upload a scan or a phone photo of a print, pick a style — Restore, Colorize, Enhance, Cleanup, or Sharpen — and download a watermark-free 1080p result in under 30 seconds. Pricing is credit-based: one-time packs from $6.99 for 10 credits (roughly $0.70 per photo) up to 250 credits for $109.99 ($0.44 each), with credits that never expire and no subscription. The service is honest about its limits — it reconstructs rather than recovers destroyed detail, and colorization is a plausible interpretation rather than historical fact — and it stores photos privately for 30 days before permanent deletion. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers first purchases, and users retain full commercial rights to every restored image.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Restore Your Photo is a browser-based AI restoration tool with a clear, honest pitch: one-time credits from $6.99, no subscription, watermark-free 1080p output in under 30 seconds. The site is fast, the pricing is transparent, and the before/after sliders do real selling. The gaps are a broken hero demo, no free trial, and a security posture that stops short of CSP, DMARC and any published audit. It is a competent, well-positioned product that needs to fix its front door and prove its trust claims.

Measure by measure

Usability

Pricing and per-photo cost are stated up front, FAQ answers the awkward questions, and Google sign-in keeps friction low. The missing free trial is the main barrier to first upload.

Design

Cohesive lime-on-cream identity with sepia photography and honest before/after sliders that sell the output. Undercut by an empty grey hero placeholder and tiny low-contrast fine print.

Speed

Lighthouse 100/100 on both mobile and desktop, LCP under 1s, zero layout shift and 14ms total blocking time. Genuinely fast for a page this long.

Security

HTTPS with HSTS, frame protection and most hardening headers present, plus a stated 30-day deletion policy. Missing CSP, SPF and DMARC, and no published audit or compliance claim.

Accessibility

Lighthouse a11y 96/100 with only a contrast failure flagged. No WCAG statement or multi-language support, but the automated baseline is strong.

Growth

Real problem, specific customer (genealogy hobbyists), and a clear wedge: one-time credits and no subscription against Remini and MyHeritage. Early stage, no traction yet.

Improvement areas

Hero product demo renders as an empty grey placeholder — the most important above-fold zone is blank.
No free trial or public sample gallery; users must pay $6.99 to test output on their own photo.
Security gaps: no CSP, SPF or DMARC, and no published SOC 2, ISO or bug-bounty program.

Design & Usability

The design leans on a disciplined lime-and-cream palette with sepia photography, and the before/after sliders are the strongest persuasive device on the page — they show output instead of describing it. The problem is the hero: the product demo renders as an empty grey placeholder, so the most important zone above the fold is blank. Usability is solid — pricing with per-photo cost is stated immediately, the FAQ answers the awkward questions head-on, and Google sign-in keeps friction low. The absence of a free trial is the real conversion barrier for a category where users are skeptical of AI results.

Speed & Security

Speed is the standout: Lighthouse 100/100 on mobile and desktop, LCP 963ms, CLS 0, TBT 14ms. For a long single-page marketing site that is genuinely excellent. Security is competent but incomplete — HTTPS with HSTS, frame protection, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy are all present, and the site states photos are deleted after 30 days. But there is no CSP, no SPF, no DMARC, and no published SOC 2, ISO or bug-bounty program. For a product handling personal family photos, that gap matters.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility scores 96/100 on Lighthouse with a single contrast failure on fine print — a quick fix away from a clean audit. There is no WCAG statement or multi-language support, but the automated baseline is strong. Growth is the interesting question: the product names a real problem (studio restoration costs $50–$150 per photo), targets a specific customer (genealogy hobbyists digitizing shoeboxes), and has a concrete wedge — one-time credits, no subscription, watermark-free 1080p — against Remini and MyHeritage, both of which lean on recurring billing. The category has headroom, but the domain was registered in late 2026 and there are no traction signals yet.

Conclusion

If you are sitting on a shoebox of faded prints and want to test the waters without a subscription, the $6.99 Basic pack is a low-risk entry point backed by a 30-day guarantee. Just know the hero demo is broken right now, so you are buying on faith rather than a live preview. Fix the placeholder, add a sample gallery or a one-photo trial, and tighten the security headers — those three moves would turn a good pitch into a convincing one.

Suggestions for improvement

Fix the empty grey hero placeholder — it is the single biggest conversion leak on the page.
Add a free single-photo trial or a public sample gallery so users can verify output before paying.
Publish a CSP, SPF and DMARC record, and add a security/compliance page with deletion policy details.
Increase contrast on fine print and trust badges to clear the remaining Lighthouse a11y failure.
