Why human, not AI?
Almost every photo service online today runs your picture through an AI model. It is fast — but it invents details. Faces change, eyes look “off”, textures turn plastic, colours are guessed. We do the opposite: a real person looks at your photo, understands it, and fixes only what is really there. That is what makes us unique — and why we are called The Unique Factory.
| The Unique Factory | AI apps | |
|---|---|---|
| Faces stay true to the person | ✓ | ✗ |
| Missing parts rebuilt with judgement, not guesswork | ✓ | ✗ |
| Natural, historically sensible colours | ✓ | Rarely |
| Your notes and wishes are read by a human | ✓ | ✗ |
| Your photo is never used to train AI | ✓ | Rarely |
| Free | ✓ | Rarely |

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No hidden fees, no subscriptions, no watermarks. We do this because we love it — every restored photo is a small piece of someone’s history.
Do you really not use AI?
Really. Every photo is edited manually by a person with professional tools such as the healing brush and clone stamp — never with AI generators that invent content.
How long does it take?
Usually 1–2 days. Very damaged photos may take a little longer — we will let you know.
What happens to my photo?
We use it only to edit it and send it back to you. It is deleted from our systems after 30 days and is never shared or used to train AI.
What kind of photos can I send?
Scans or phone pictures of old prints, digital photos that are blurry, noisy or damaged, and black-and-white photos for colorization. The higher the resolution, the better the result.
Why is it free?
Because we believe memories should not have a price tag. If you would like to help us keep going, you can leave a review or buy us a coffee — but it is never required.
