Pinin
What it is
Pinin restores damaged, faded, and vintage photos by colorizing, sharpening, and repairing them. Its enhancement tools also denoise images and upscale low-resolution photos. Pinin says its model aims to preserve facial structure, expressions, and distinctive features rather than invent faces. Users can upload multiple images, including full albums, and download the restored albums together. The service is available on the web and through an API for adding photo restoration and enhancement to applications, websites, or workflows. For photographers, agencies, genealogy services, and archives, business options include batch processing, commercial licensing, white-label services, and API access. Pinin says photos are not sold or used to train AI and files are automatically deleted within 30 days; it describes the service as GDPR-compliant and made in Italy. The free plan includes one restoration and does not grant commercial usage rights. A five-credit package is listed at $5.99, paid once. The Giotto personal plan is $144 a year, billed annually, and includes 30 monthly restorations. Other listed plans include professional and studio subscriptions and a custom enterprise option.
