Scan & auto-crop Colorize Face restore iOS & Android

What it does

One tap, no editing skills. Scan or upload, let the AI process, and save the result.

Scan or import

Digitize a physical print with the camera. The scanner detects the photo edges and crops the background before restoring.

Colorize black-and-white photos

Deep learning analyzes the scene and applies natural, realistic color — colors that look right, not painted on.

Restore faces in HD

Optimized for portraits. Bring blurred faces back into focus and recover facial features and expressions.

Repair scratches and tears

Detect and remove folds, scratches, tears, and stains so aging pictures look new again.

Increase resolution, remove noise

Lift low-resolution photos to crisp HD and clean up film grain and motion blur.

Compare, then keep

Put the original next to the restored version, then save it and find it again in your history.

Questions

Are my photos uploaded? +

Yes. Restoration runs in the cloud, so a photo you submit is uploaded to our backend and sent to our AI processing providers to produce the result. The scanner's edge detection runs on your device, but the cropped image is uploaded when you start a restoration. Photos submitted for restoration are not shared with advertising providers.

Why did my restoration fail? +

AI providers can be busy or rate-limited, and very large or heavily damaged files may time out. Retry after a moment. A failed task normally returns the allowance automatically. If the issue continues, email us with the approximate time and your device type.

The colors or the face look wrong. What can I do? +

Colorization and face restoration are probabilistic, so results vary by photo. Sharp, well-lit, front-facing scans usually restore best. Try a different restoration mode, re-scan the print at a straighter angle, or crop tightly to the subject before submitting.

How do I get a better scan of a printed photo? +

Place the print on a flat, evenly lit surface with no glare, fill most of the frame, and let the scanner auto-detect the edges. Avoid shadows across the photo and avoid photographing a photo through glass.

Does Time Restorer work on both iPhone and Android? +

Yes. Time Restorer is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android.
