Key features	AI unblurring and detail enhancement tuned for faces and portraits Colorization of black-and-white or faded photographs Photo upscaling and resolution enhancement for low-quality originals Noise, grain, and pixelation removal from scanned or compressed images Background and object removal alongside restoration tools	Batch detection and cropping of multiple prints at once Perspective correction from a hand-held phone Slide and negative scanning through companion apps Colour restoration and black-and-white colourisation Albums annotated with text, audio, date and location
Pros	Restoration previews are free before committing to a download Face- and portrait-specific tuning gives better results than generic upscalers on old family photos Low entry price relative to professional photo restoration services	Batch capture makes a shoebox archive actually finishable Handles slides and negatives, not only prints Ten years of development behind it
Cons	Company disclosed little beyond the May 2023 launch announcement, with no public funding history Credit-based downloads mean costs can add up for restoring large photo batches Results on severely damaged or extremely low-resolution originals still need manual touch-up	Features are spread across several separate apps Colourisation invents plausible colour rather than recovering the original Phone capture will not match a scanner on a photograph that matters
Company	Face26, founded 2023	Photomyne Ltd., founded 2015
