How it works

Restore an old photo without turning it into something else.

Keepsake is built for family photos, not novelty edits. Upload a scan or phone photo, let us repair the damage, and keep the feeling of the original memory intact.

How it works

Three simple steps.

  1. Upload

    Drop a scanned or photographed old picture. We accept JPG, PNG, and HEIC. Your photo is private from the moment you upload it.

  2. Restore

    In under a minute, we repair damage, enhance clarity, and optionally bring back color. No technical decisions required.

  3. Share

    Download your restored photo or share it with family. Three free restorations every month with a Keepsake account.

What makes the best upload

Give us the whole photo

Include the full print or scan, edges and all. It gives the restoration more context and makes cleanup cleaner.

Use even light

If you are photographing a print, avoid glare and harsh shadows. A flat shot near a window usually beats a dramatic setup.

Start with what you have

You do not need perfect archives. A phone photo of a faded print is enough to begin, and JPG, PNG, and HEIC are all supported up to 20MB.

What Keepsake actually repairs

Surface damage

Scratches, dust, fold lines, chemical staining, and general wear that make a photo feel tired.

Clarity and tone

Low contrast, muddy scans, soft detail, and the overall flatness that makes old photos feel harder to read.

Color drift and fading

Yellowing, magenta shift, washed-out color, and black-and-white photos you want gently colorized.

What we optimize for

Likeness

People should still look like themselves. The result should feel like a careful restoration, not a reinvention.

Calm defaults

Most photos should work without a pile of settings. Standard covers the majority of family photos, with Deep Restore when a photo needs more help.

Private by default

Your photos are encrypted, never used to train AI, and deletable whenever you choose. Privacy is part of the product, not a legal footnote.

Restorations

A small selection of restorations across eras. Tap any photo to see the before and after.

Your photos, your privacy

  • We never train AI

    Your photos never feed any model. Ever.

  • Encrypted in storage

    Every photo is encrypted at rest and in transit.

  • Delete anytime

    One click removes your photos and your data. No waiting.
