Terms of Use

Terms of use and the free service

These terms of use apply to the Old Photo Restoration website and its browser-based photo tools. By using the website, a visitor agrees to use the tools in accordance with these terms. The current service offers free facial restoration, optional colorization, comparison, and downloadable image results without creating an account or purchasing credits.

The website provides an image editing tool and related guidance. It does not provide a paid professional restoration commission, an authentication service, or a permanent photo storage account. The browser performs the photo processing on the visitor’s device, and the visitor decides whether to save or share the generated result.

Photographs and permission to edit

Use photographs that you own or have permission to edit. A photograph available on the internet is not automatically free to reproduce, alter, or publish. Consider the photographer’s rights, the context in which the image was shared, and the privacy of people shown in the picture when choosing an image for restoration or colorization.

The visitor retains their rights in the source photograph. Using the tool does not transfer ownership of the original image to the website operator. The website does not claim a personal photograph selected in the browser as its own content or require that the restored result be placed in a public gallery.

AI-generated facial detail and colors

Facial restoration and colorization use models that predict image details from visual patterns. The result can change eyes, teeth, hair, skin texture, expression, or apparent colors. Compare the output with the source before deciding whether it suits a particular purpose. Keeping the original file makes that comparison available for future work.

An edited image should not be presented as proof of a person’s exact appearance, a historical color record, or an unaltered original when it is not. For a family album, historical project, publication, or public post, a simple caption identifying AI restoration or colorization can help viewers understand the status of the image.

Acceptable use of the tools

Use the website in a way that respects other people and the service. Do not use restored or colorized images to impersonate someone, fabricate evidence, harass a person, or misrepresent the source of a photograph. Do not use the website for unlawful activity or to process content in a way that violates another person’s rights.

Do not interfere with the delivery of the website, attempt to gain unauthorized access to its infrastructure, or abuse automated requests for model and page resources. The free tool is intended to help people work with photographs, and the operator may restrict abusive access to preserve availability for ordinary visitors.

Downloads, availability, and results

Save a result before closing the page if it is a version you want to keep. The website does not maintain a hosted history of personal photographs or guarantee that a previous browser session can be recovered. Keep source files and finished copies in storage that you control, and use separate filenames for different restoration or color versions.

Results and processing speed depend on the source image, browser, device, and selected options. The service is provided as available, without a promise that every photograph will produce a particular aesthetic result. Features, models, and supported workflows may change as the project develops. The interface and current page guidance describe the available tool.

Website content, open source, and contact

The website’s original text, layout, and graphics belong to their respective rights holders. Open-source components and model files have their own license notices, available through the credits page. Example historical photographs are identified separately with their source information; an example result may include AI-generated restoration or color interpretation.

These terms of use may be updated when the service changes. The revision date on this page identifies the current published version. For questions about the terms of use or a website problem, contact the project using the email linked below. Describe the relevant page and issue so the question can be understood without requesting access to your personal photo collection.
