AI Photo Restorer: free FAQ
Is the AI Photo Restorer really free?+
Yes, to try. Every visitor gets one free image every 48 hours, shared with the other free image makers on Inflyu, with no account and no card. On a very busy day guest tries can pause until the next day. More images need a free account, and its 20 sign-up credits cover the first ones once your email is verified. Results made with free credits carry a small "Made with inflyu" mark, and any credit pack removes it on new results.
Are the added colours historically accurate?+
Not necessarily. Colorizing is an inspired reconstruction, so treat the colours as an interpretation, not a record.
Will it change faces or clothing?+
The recipe asks to keep the people, scene and era. Badly damaged areas have to be reconstructed, so check faces closely against the original.
Can I restore a video or film reel?+
No. This tool takes one still photo and returns one image.
Is a scan better than a phone photo of the print?+
A flat, glare-free scan gives cleaner input, but a straight-on phone photo in soft light works too.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. You can pay as you go: credit packs are one-time purchases and their credits never expire. If you would rather have a steady supply, the monthly Starter ($7.99), Creator ($19) and Pro ($49) plans refill your credits each month, and you can cancel anytime. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
