Will parents and children squinting in front of a landmark, a beach or the car still look like themselves after the creasing is removed?

The prompts keep every face, age and expression in the creased vacation photo as photographed. Where the creased area covered a face, compare the result with other vacation photos and with family memory before you print.

Do I need to scan creased vacation photos?

A flat scan is best, but a phone photo of the creased vacation photo works too; run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first to crop and remove glare, then repair the creasing.

How many credits does a creased vacation photo take?

The 4 free credits on a new account cover one Standard restoration of creased vacation photos. Pro and Max return more detail on the landmark, the car and the swimsuits where the creasing was heavy; see pricing for the current amounts.

Can I colorize the vacation photo after fixing the creasing?

Yes. Repair the creased vacation photo first, then run the Photo Colorizer on the result. Colors are inferred from the era and the materials in the repaired creased vacation photos, so type any remembered colors into the hints field.

Creased Vacation Photos

Creased vacation photos usually come out of a print folded into a wallet, a letter or a pocket, then flattened again decades later. On a vacation photo the creasing shows as a white line where the emulsion broke along the fold, very often straight through a face, right across parents and children squinting in front of a landmark, a beach or the car.

Upload a scan or a phone photo of the creased vacation photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the landmark, the car and the swimsuits left as they were. Where the creasing covered a face in vacation photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.

If the creasing on the vacation photo is worse than it looks, run Scratch & Tear Repair twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the creased vacation photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.
