Memories worth bringing back
“My grandmother's only wedding photo was torn in half and faded. OldtoLife brought it back so clearly that my mother cried when she saw it.”
Elena M.
Restored a 1950s wedding portrait
“I colorized a black-and-white photo of my grandfather in uniform. The colors look completely real — it feels like meeting him for the first time.”
David R.
Colorized a military portrait
“The scan of my childhood photo was blurry and dark. Two taps later the faces were sharp and the lighting looked natural. Unbelievable.”
Aylin K.

Frequently asked questions
Is OldtoLife free to try?
Yes. You can download OldtoLife and try every restoration tool. A Premium subscription unlocks unlimited restorations, HD downloads, and removes daily limits, and it starts with a 3-day free trial.
How does AI photo restoration work?
You upload a photo, choose a tool (restore, colorize, enhance, brighten, recreate, or merge), and the app sends it to our AI model. The model repairs damage, reconstructs missing detail, or adds natural color, then returns a high-resolution result — usually in about ten seconds.
Will the result look natural, not fake?
OldtoLife is tuned to preserve real facial features and identity rather than inventing a new face. Colors are chosen to look period-accurate and believable. You can always compare before and after with a slider and re-run with a different tool.
Are my photos kept private?
Your photos are uploaded only to process them and are used solely to return your result. We do not sell your images or use them to train unrelated models. See our Privacy Policy for full detail.
What photo formats and sizes are supported?
Common formats like JPEG, PNG, and HEIC are supported. For the best results, use the sharpest, highest-resolution scan or photo you have and make sure faces are clearly visible.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID and can be cancelled anytime from your iPhone Settings. If you cancel during the free trial you will not be charged.
