My mother passed in October. I found a box of photographs from the 1940s, some with very faded color and really grainy. I uploaded the entire album to Refresh. Everyone at her memorial service said she looked just like that.

We surprised my dad by restoring his high school photos from the 60s. When he saw his friends faces clear for the first time in decades, we all had such a laugh.

How to restore old photos online

1

Upload a photo

Any old photograph — a scan, a phone picture of a print, a JPG from an email. That’s all you need.

2

We restore it

Remove grain, fix damage, sharpen faces, and add natural color to black-and-white photos. Takes about 30 seconds.

3

Share with family

Save your keepsake and share it on Facebook, by text, or by email. Your family will want to see this.

For the photographs you can't take again.

Most families have no video of their grandparents as young people. No recordings of their voice. No color photographs. Just a handful of images taken on film, faded over decades. Refresh is built for those photographs — to make them last, and to make them real again.
