About this app

Faded family photos, and old pictures that were saved blurry, brought back into focus.

A snapshot of a paper print. A photo someone texted you years ago that arrived soft and muddy. A small, low-quality screenshot. Photo Revive redraws the faces and the background in those pictures at four times the resolution.

■ Your photos never leave your phone
Every restore happens on this device. Nothing is uploaded to a server. The restore engine downloads once, the first time you use it. After that, restores work with no connection at all.

■ Saved without a watermark
No logo and no watermark on the result. Your original file is left untouched, and the restored photo is saved separately.

■ How it works
1. Pick a photo. The app never asks for access to your whole gallery.
2. Choose how to restore it.
3. Compare before and after side by side, then save. Pinch to zoom in and check the detail for yourself.

■ Two ways to restore
· Quick restore: plenty of quality for everyday photos.
· High quality: suited to old photos and very blurry ones. It takes longer.

■ What it costs
You can restore 3 photos a day for free. Watching an ad adds 2 more, up to 10 extra photos a day.
The pass is a one-time payment, not a subscription. With the pass there is no daily limit, no ads, and high quality mode is unlocked.

■ Worth knowing before you start
· A restore takes a while. The picture is redrawn by your phone rather than by a server, and larger photos take longer. You can use other apps while it works.
· Photos with a long edge over 2000 pixels are already large enough, and the app tells you before you wait on one. The difference is biggest on small, blurry pictures.
· Not every photo comes back perfectly. When too little detail survives in the original, there is a limit to what can be recovered.

■ Reminders
You can get one reminder a day if you want one. Turn it off any time in settings.

Look at that day in the album again, clearly.
