How it works

From faded print to sharp memory in three taps.

  1. Photograph or import

    Snap a picture of the print or pick the scan from your gallery.

  2. Say what to fix

    Type it in plain words: remove scratches, sharpen faces, colourise. Refine until it feels right.

  3. Save and share

    Export the restored copy and send it to the family chat. The original stays as it was.

What it fixes

The damage that makes old photos hard to look at.

Ask for the repair in your own words. PhotoPilot works on the whole picture or on one spot you point at.

  • Scratches, creases, tears and stains
  • Faded colour and washed-out contrast
  • Soft or blurry faces and details
  • Black-and-white prints brought to colour
Made for memories

Your original is never overwritten.

Every edit is saved as a new version, so you can compare before and after, try again, or go back. Nothing changes in your camera roll unless you choose to export.
