Restore Your Old Family Photo — and Hang It on Your Wall
Upload a scan of a faded, scratched or torn photograph. We restore it, check it against your original and email you a free preview. If you love the result, we print it on canvas and deliver it to your door.
Before and after
Real archive photographs with no known copyright restrictions — not customer orders. Drag each slider to compare. AI restoration can change fine facial detail; that is why every preview is reviewed by a person before you see it.

What we can fix
Faded and yellowed prints
We bring back contrast and natural tones without changing the photograph's composition.
Scratches, dust and creases
Surface damage, spots and fold lines are repaired so the people in the photo stand out again.
Small tears and missing corners
Minor gaps can be filled in. Large missing areas or unrecognizable faces may not be suitable.
Black-and-white photos
We can add restrained, natural-looking color. Colors are an interpretation, not recovered historical facts.

Questions
How much does old photo restoration cost?
The restoration preview is free. You only pay if you order a printed canvas; the restoration and standard shipping within the contiguous US and Washington, DC are included in the canvas price.
Do I need to send the original print?
No. Upload a scan or a clear phone photo of the print (JPG, PNG or WebP up to 15 MB). Your original stays with you.
Is the restoration done by AI?
We use AI to prepare the restoration, and a person compares it with your original — faces, details and framing — before the preview is sent. AI can still make mistakes, and some photos are not suitable.
Can I just download the restored file?
CanvasMe offers the restored photo as a printed canvas. The preview you receive by email is watermarked.
Where do you ship?
Standard shipping is included within the contiguous United States and Washington, DC. We confirm availability and a delivery estimate for your address before you pay.
