In words, not just pictures
If photos are hard for you to see — or you use a screen reader — here is what our work actually does: six real restorations from the wall above, told in plain words. And when your own proof arrives, you can always call us and your artist will describe every change.
A small snapshot of two women, cheek to cheek and laughing, so badly crumpled that the surface had cracked and peeled across both faces, with torn corners and shiny scuffs everywhere. Every crease was repaired by hand: their faces are whole again, the plaid shirt reads clearly, and the warm color of the room came back with them.
A young man's formal portrait from before 1950, in a dark three-piece suit and tie. A band of orange-brown staining ran right across his face and collar, and the edges were torn. Our artist lifted the stains, repaired the edges, and rebuilt the cloudy studio backdrop — leaving a clean black-and-white portrait where his eyes and expression read clearly again.
A backyard snapshot of a man in a cap hugging a smiling girl in a baseball jersey, with both top corners torn away — pieces of the trees and sky simply gone. Our artist rebuilt the missing corners from what remained and trued up the color, returning an unbroken picture of an ordinary, irreplaceable afternoon.
A very old studio portrait of a man with a sweeping handlebar mustache and a wide-brimmed hat, printed inside a decorative oval mount. The print was mottled all over with stains and scratches. Restored, it is a crisp black-and-white portrait again — his pale eyes, weathered face, and every button on his vest clear.
Two boys among tall trees — the older one in a dark sweater and tie, the younger grinning up at him — in a pale, silvery black-and-white print with light damage washing across one side. Restored and colorized by hand: fair hair, navy sweaters, deep green woodland, and a bright sky behind them.
Five servicemen in tiger-stripe fatigues standing shoulder to shoulder in front of a thatched building, mountains on the horizon, in a scuffed black-and-white group photo. The colorized restoration brings back the greens of the fatigues and the blue of the sky while keeping every face exactly as the camera caught it.
You won’t need to drive anywhere, and you shouldn’t have to. The photo counters that used to do this work are gone (Walgreens quietly discontinued photo restoration in 2024). What replaced the drive is simpler. Take a picture of your photo with your phone, right at your kitchen table. Your original never leaves your hands. Our American artists fix it up by hand and email it back in a few days. If you’d rather mail the original, you can. Tracked and insured, and we send it back free.
And if you’d rather talk to a person first, call us: +1 (307) 218-6920
Trusted by 400,000+ families. Back in days, not weeks. And if you need it tomorrow, there’s a 24-hour rush.
