Photo restoration
Bring an old photo back before you print it
Faded, scratched, creased, small or blurry — we run your photograph through restoration, show you the before and after side by side, and you decide whether to keep it. ₦2,500 a photo, and only if you keep it.
- You see it before you pay
- Nothing charged if it fails
- Your original is always kept
One question, two answers
There is no model to choose and no settings to learn. You tell us what is wrong with the photo, in plain words, and that answer decides what we run.
Repair
It's an old or damaged photo
Rebuilds faces in old prints. Because it rebuilds them, a face can come out looking a little different — look carefully before you keep it.
Enlarge
It's small or blurry
Makes it bigger and sharper. Faces are left alone.
What you pay, and when
Restoration is the one part of an order whose result nobody can promise in advance, so it is the one part you approve after seeing it rather than before.
- ₦2,500 per photo. Charged once, per photo you keep, and added to your order at checkout — never billed separately.
- You look first. The restored copy and your original are shown side by side. Keeping it is a decision you make with the result in front of you.
- A failed restoration is free. If it fails, if you cancel it while it is running, or if you look at it and say no, there is nothing to pay.
- Rejecting costs nothing. Say no and your original goes to print instead, exactly as you uploaded it.
- Your original is never replaced. We keep it whatever you decide. Take that photo out of your order later and the restoration is voided rather than charged.
How it works
Upload the photo
A scan, a phone picture of an old print, a file someone sent you. Start an order and add it like any other photo.
Say what is wrong with it
Old or damaged, or small and blurry. One question, two answers — and that is the only decision you have to make.
Compare, then decide
Look at the result against your original. Keep it and ₦2,500 joins your order; reject it and nothing is charged.
What it will not do
- It improves a photograph. It does not guarantee a result on any given one.
- It cannot invent detail that the camera never captured — a very small photo has a ceiling, and past it we say so instead of charging you to find out.
- Repairing an old photo rebuilds faces, so a face can come back looking a little different. That is why the comparison exists.
- It is not a retoucher. It does not remove people, change the background or recompose the picture.
- It does not colour in a black-and-white photograph.
Then print it
Restoration runs inside the ordering flow, so the photo you keep is the photo that goes to the printer — on museum-grade matte paper, framed for a wall, framed for a desk, or loose in a box of prints.

What does it cost, and when am I charged?
₦2,500 per photo, added to your order at checkout — and only for a restoration you have looked at and kept. A restoration that fails, one you cancel while it is running, and one you look at and reject are all free. You are never asked to pay before you have seen the result.
Can you fix any photo?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. It improves photographs; it does not guarantee a result. Detail that was never captured cannot be invented, and some damage is past what any tool can recover. That is exactly why you see the before-and-after first and decide afterwards.
Will the face still look like them?
Look carefully. Repairing an old or damaged photograph rebuilds faces, and because it rebuilds them a face can come out looking a little different. If it is not them, reject it — nothing is charged and we print your original instead.
Do you keep my original?
Always. Keeping a restoration swaps it in for printing; rejecting one puts your original straight back. If you take that photo out of your order afterwards, the restoration is voided and not charged, and the original is what goes to print.
How many times can I try?
There is a cap on how many attempts one order can make, so a photo that keeps failing cannot quietly run up a bill. When a photo has used up its tries we say so plainly — and nothing has been charged in that case either.
Do I have to use it to order a print?
No. It is an optional add-on offered photo by photo inside the ordering flow, and most photos from a recent phone do not need it. We check every upload against the exact size you picked and tell you before you pay if it is too small to print sharp.
Try it on the photo you were worried about.
Upload it, answer one question, and look at what comes back. You have not spent anything until you say you want it.
