About Refresh

What we do

Refresh carefully restores and colorizes old family photographs. Faded prints, grainy snapshots, black-and-white portraits — we bring them back to life so you can see the people you love as they were.

How we do it

We're AI specialists, not traditional photo restorers. Refresh uses a proprietary AI system purpose-built for old family photographs. We're transparent about this because we believe the results speak for themselves, and because you deserve to know exactly what's happening with your family's most precious images.

Our promise to you

Every photo you share with us may be the only photo of that person that exists. We treat it that way.

• We never share or use your photos. From time to time users submit photos and grant us permission, which you may see on our website.
• Your photos are stored securely and never used to train any models.
• Resemblance over creativity, always. We recover what was there — we don't invent what wasn't.

Who this is for

The daughter with the shoebox of old prints. The grandson who never met his grandfather young. Families who are grieving or celebrating the people who came before them. If you have a photo that matters, we're here to help you see it clearly again.

Preserving the past

One percent of our profits goes toward the World Monuments Fund, which preserves humanity's shared cultural heritage. We restore family photos. They restore the places our families came from.
