How it works
A gentle three-step restore
2
Enhance clarity
Run private, on-device enhancement to improve detail and resolution.
3
Compare and save
Fine-tune faded color, inspect before and after, and save a new copy.
Private by design
Your family photos stay with your family.
Processing happens on your iPhone. Local Photo Restore has no photo-processing server, advertising SDK, or advertising tracking SDK. RevenueCat handles purchase reporting and onboarding analytics; photos are never sent.
Made for real family archives
An old photo enhancer for the problems the app actually handles.
Local Photo Restore is designed for soft, low-resolution, yellowed, or faded photographs. It improves the image already there instead of inventing faces or replacing the scene.
Soft or low-resolution photos
Enhance clarity and resolution, then pinch in to inspect the result before saving.
Yellowed prints
Use a simple adjustment to reduce the warm yellow cast common in aging family photographs.
Faded existing color
Bring out color that is already present without claiming to colorize a black-and-white photograph.
A protected original
Compare before and after at any time. Saving creates a new copy and leaves the source untouched.
Before you download
What can Local Photo Restore do?
Does it upload my family photos?
No. Enhancement runs on your iPhone, with no photo-processing server or account.
Will it repair scratches, tears, glare, or missing faces?
No. The current app focuses on clarity, resolution, yellow tint, and faded existing color. It does not perform generative face restoration, scratch repair, tear repair, or scene reconstruction.
Is the app free?
It is free to download. Restoring and saving your own photos requires a weekly or annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Your current localized choices are shown before purchase.
Does it overwrite the original?
No. Local Photo Restore saves the result as a new copy in Photos.
