Restore faded photos, label decades of family pictures, and turn a phone snapshot into a printable keepsake.

A second life for the photo box
Most of us have a closet full of old prints and a phone full of unsorted snapshots. AI can clean up faded photos, fix scratches, and help label who is in each picture.
What is possible right now
Photo restoration: upload a faded scan; the AI sharpens it and reduces scratches.
Colorization: turn a black-and-white photo into a (best-guess) color version.
Auto-labeling: Apple Photos and Google Photos already group people, places, and dates with AI.
Background cleanup: remove a stranger from a vacation photo.
The big idea: AI helps the photo look the way you remember. The original stays in the box for the record.
