VanceAI Photo Restorer
What it is
VanceAI Photo Restorer repairs damage in old photographs, including scratches, tears, stains, and creases, while correcting faded color and sharpening facial details. Its workflow automatically applies damage repair, face enhancement, and color correction. Users can make a separate colorized copy of a black-and-white photo or send a restored image to a separate upscaler for a larger reprint. Web users can start with free credits and preview a result without a watermark or credit card, though each completed restoration uses credits. The web app processes one image at a time; VanceAI for PC on Windows supports batch restoration and processes files locally. Web uploads can be up to 10MB and 34MP, and paid web plans provide clean results without watermarks. Uploaded images are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours after processing. Local PC processing uses no credits, has no queue, and accepts images of any size. The pricing note says paid access starts at $9/mo billed annually; listed web plans begin at $15 a month.
