Bring old family photos back to life with Recolor the Past. SCAN OLD PHOTOS FOR FREE Digitize printed photos with the built-in scanner or choose images already on your device. Correct corners, rotate, crop and adjust exposure, color and saturation before saving. Your scans stay organized in on-device albums and can be saved to Apple Photos when you allow access. OPTIONAL AI RESTORATION & COLORIZATION When you want to go further, use credits to restore damage, improve faces and add natural, historically plausible color. The cost is shown before full-resolution processing starts. Scanning and keeping unprocessed black-and-white photos does not use credits. PROCESS WHOLE ALBUMS Select multiple photos, choose individual settings when needed, and let a batch process in the background. Return later, receive an on-device notification when it finishes, and export the completed full-resolution files together. COMPARE, REFINE AND RETRY Open a result at full resolution, compare the original and improved versions with a slider, change settings and retry before ordering the final result. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photos selected for AI processing are handled on our own infrastructure in the European Union. We do not sell photos, use them for advertising, or use them to train AI models. Server copies are automatically deleted according to our retention policy, while your on-device library remains independent and under your control. SIMPLE CREDITS — NO SUBSCRIPTION Buy credit packs only when you need AI processing. Credits are used according to the selected restoration and colorization options, with the price shown before confirmation. Recolor the Past is made in the EU by SIA CrowFoundry.
