    Common Questions

    Expert Answers

    Everything you need to know about our photo restoration process, pricing, and how we keep your precious memories completely safe.

    Pricing depends entirely on the level of damage. Minor clean-ups (removing dust, light scratches, and colour fading) start at $35. For extreme cases requiring facial reconstruction or fixing torn pieces, prices can go up to $245. We always provide a fixed, free quote upfront so there are no surprises—and you only pay the balance once you are 100% thrilled with the result.
    Absolutely. Our process is completely non-destructive. We use high-resolution studio scanners to digitize your original photo the moment we receive it. All of the restoration work is performed digitally on the scanned file. Your original photograph is kept securely in our Melbourne studio and returned to you in exactly the same condition it arrived.
    Yes, we specialize in extreme damage recovery. If a photo is stuck to glass, please do not try to peel it off yourself, as this can tear the emulsion. Bring the photo (glass included) directly to us. We use specialized lighting and scanning techniques to digitize the image through the glass, allowing us to digitally rebuild the water-damaged and stuck areas without ruining the physical original.
    For standard restorations, our typical turnaround time is 48 to 72 hours. If you have an extensively damaged photo or a large batch of images, it may take 1 to 2 weeks to ensure every detail is meticulously repaired. If you need a photo urgently for a funeral, anniversary, or special event, please let us know—we offer priority rush services.
    Yes! We combine state-of-the-art AI color mapping with manual digital painting to breathe vibrant, historically accurate life into old black-and-white photos. If you know the specific eye color, hair color, or uniform colors of the people in the photo, you can provide those details to us, and we will accurately match them during the colourisation process.
    You would be surprised at what modern technology can achieve. We regularly restore photos that have been torn to shreds, chewed by pets, or faded completely blank. By leveraging advanced AI upscaling alongside manual digital artistry, we can often reconstruct missing facial features and backgrounds. Better yet: If we truly cannot restore your photo, we won't charge you a cent.
