Restore.Photo

Overview

Repair, color restoration, and enhancement share one service, so users can address several common photo problems without switching tools. That breadth is useful for mixed restoration work, but Free is best treated as a way to handle a few images rather than a large archive: it allows three restorations each month and limits output to 1024x1024.

Key features

Automatic repair targets scratches, tears, and physical damage. Colorization adds color to black-and-white or faded images, while enhancement offers 2x and 4x upscaling, noise reduction, and face enhancement. The combination makes Restore.Photo more suitable for varied restoration tasks than a tool limited to damage removal.

Uploads support JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, and BMP, with a 25 MB maximum file size. Average processing is under 30 seconds, a practical turnaround for individual images. Pro batch uploads are capped at 10 images; Business raises batch processing to 100, a more useful ceiling for teams handling recurring work.

The service says photos are encrypted during transfer and processing. Free-plan files are stored for 24 hours, compared with 30 days on Pro and 90 days on Business. That longer retrieval window may matter when work needs to be revisited, though it also means the plans have materially different retention periods. The web service works on any device with a browser and is accessible worldwide; API access is included with Business.

Pricing

Free is appropriate for occasional, lower-resolution work, but three monthly restorations and the 1024x1024 ceiling will constrain anyone processing photos regularly. Pro at 12.00 USD per month is the straightforward fit for individuals: it removes the restoration quota and raises output to 4K, while adding advanced repair and batch uploads. Its 10-image batch cap and lack of listed API access make it less suited to team-scale integration.

Business at 39.00 USD per month is aimed at teams and professionals with high-volume needs. The 100-image batch capacity, API, collaboration, and white-label option support a more operational workflow, while dedicated support and custom model training add team-oriented capabilities. For users who do not need those features, Pro is the more focused paid choice.

Platforms

Restore.Photo is available on the web and through an API on Business. The browser access works across devices, but API access is not included in the lower tiers.

Who it's for

Choose Restore.Photo for a mix of photo repair, color restoration, and enhancement in one browser service, particularly if Pro's unlimited restorations or Business's batch and API workflow match your volume. It is a weaker fit for substantial free use, since the monthly quota is only three images, or for teams needing API access below the Business tier.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Repair, colorization, upscaling, noise reduction, and face enhancement cover multiple restoration needs in one service.
• Pros: Pro removes the restoration quota and supports output up to 4K, while Business raises batch capacity to 100 and includes API access.
• Cons: Free allows only three restorations per month and caps output at 1024x1024.
• Cons: File retention varies by plan: 24 hours on Free, 30 days on Pro, and 90 days on Business.
• Cons: API access is reserved for Business, which may put team integration out of reach for users who only need a lower-cost plan.

Verdict

Restore.Photo is a strong fit for individuals who need more than basic scratch repair and are willing to pay 12.00 USD per month for unlimited, higher-resolution work. Teams should consider Business for its 100-image batches and API. Look elsewhere if three free monthly restorations are not enough and the paid tiers do not fit your workflow or budget.
