Honest output

Restoration is interpretive

AI can reconstruct plausible detail; it cannot recover information that was never captured.

Your first session

Start with one useful task

  1. 01

    Start with the best copy

    Use a clean scan or evenly lit capture with the whole photograph visible. Save the untouched original separately. Glare and compression can limit what any restoration can do.

  2. 02

    Restore, then inspect

    Try the restoration workflow and compare faces, clothing, lettering and edges with the source. AI can introduce plausible detail, so a cleaner-looking image is not automatically a more accurate one.

  3. 03

    Keep both versions

    Save the edited result alongside the original. Label added color as an interpretation. Check the actual export dimensions before deciding how large to print.

Choose for your needs

When Renew fits

You already have a scan or photo of a faded, scratched or soft family picture and want a clearer version to view or share. Renew repairs an existing image; it does not recover deleted files.

When another option may help

For a badly damaged original, precise historical reconstruction or a large exhibition print, a restoration specialist may be a better fit. For deleted iPhone photos, start with Apple's recovery options instead of an image-restoration app.

Before you download

A few practical details for your first session.

Keep the original photograph. Compare reconstructed faces, lettering and color with the source before sharing the edited version as a historical image.

Questions about Renew

What can an old photo restoration app fix?

It can improve common problems such as fading, scratches, tears, discoloration, softness, and low resolution. Results depend on the source image.

Will Renew change the faces in my photo?

AI restoration may infer missing detail, so always compare the result with the original and keep the source file.

Can Renew colorize black-and-white photos?

Yes. It can create a plausible colorized version, but historical colors should be treated as an interpretation unless you have a reference.

Where can I download Renew?

Renew is available for iPhone on the App Store.

Can Renew recover deleted iPhone photos?

Renew improves an existing photo you import. It is not a deleted-file recovery tool. If the file is missing, locate an original or backup before using photo restoration.

Should I keep the original after restoration?

Yes. Keep an untouched original alongside the edited result. AI restoration can introduce plausible details and colors, so the original remains valuable for comparison.
