Photos are keepsakes that remind us of family, friends, and special events throughout our lives. Old pictures give us a connection to our ancestors or capture moments that we can share with generations to come. Over time, these images may suffer from fading, creasing, tears, and other damage. Photo restoration revitalizes and prolongs the lifespan of these irreplaceable treasures. Here are a few FAQs about the process.

Photo Restoration Questions & Answers

Do I Need to Provide Instructions for Photo Restoration?

Usually photo restoration professionals can assess the image in question and will know how to correct it to bring back its quality. If you have a particular request such as color choices, cropping, or other special details, inform them when you are discussing the project.

Which Digital File Format Is Preferred?

JPEG images are the easiest to upload for color correcting and restoration. Make sure the file isn’t too large or too blurry; ask your expert for their size preferences so you have the proper formatting when you scan the image. Some places can scan for you, requiring you to only bring in your photo—but check policies first.

How Long Does Photo Restoration Take?

Once your photo has been scanned, the file has been sized appropriately, and you have accepted the quoted price, it usually takes a few days to a week to complete the process. Tell the staff member if you only want a digital version or if you would like prints as well.

Can Black & White Images Be Fixed?

What If the Image Is Ripped?
