Why People Use It
Families use this when an album contains a mix of damage types and they need to know which scans are actually recoverable. The free preview means you can test a faded color print and a scratched portrait before committing to a pack. The site's insistence on comparing faces against the original is the right caution, since AI restoration can quietly replace a person rather than repair one.
