Free trial workflow
Old Photo Restoration Free
Try old photo restoration free with 3 credits after sign-in. Test one family photo, compare the watermarked result, and upgrade only if it is worth keeping.
Recommended workflow
Pick a representative photo
Choose a photo that reflects the real problem: fading, scratches, blur, paper damage, or a black and white portrait.
Use the free restoration flow
Upload the image, sign in when you restore, and spend 1 free credit to generate a watermarked result.
Review the watermarked result
Compare the original and restored photo. Check whether faces, clothing, background, and important details still look faithful.
Upgrade only for keepers
If the result is useful, paid credits or Pro remove the watermark. If it is not useful, try a better scan before paying.
What free old photo restoration should prove
The free result should answer one practical question: can this photo be improved enough to keep? Look for cleaner faces, less visible damage, better contrast, and a result that still feels like the original photo.
Where free restoration has limits
A free preview is best for judging quality. Major missing faces, tiny low-resolution scans, legal records, or museum archive images may still need manual review or a better source scan.
When to move to another page
Use the damaged-photo page if scratches, stains, or water marks are the main problem. Use the general online restoration page if you are restoring a larger album and need a repeatable workflow.
Next step
Try one photo first. If it passes the before-and-after check, use the same settings on the next two photos before deciding whether to remove the watermark.
Quick answers
Is old photo restoration free to try?
Yes. New accounts get 3 free credits after sign-in. Each credit restores one photo, and free downloads include a small watermark.
Do I need a card for the free trial?
No card is required for the free credits. You can test the result first and decide later whether a watermark-free download is worth it.
What should I check in the free result?
Check faces, hands, clothing, background edges, and any meaningful details. The restored version should be cleaner without changing the memory.
Can I restore a whole album for free?
The free credits are meant for a small test. For a full album, use the free results to choose which photos deserve paid watermark-free exports.
What if the free result is not good enough?
Try a sharper scan or a less compressed photo. If the source is severely damaged, the repair workflow or a human retoucher may be a better next step.
