Why genealogy photos need a careful touch
The goal is not to reinvent the person in the image. For genealogy work, the restored photo should remain useful as a family record: clearer, easier to read, and still faithful to the source.
A private preview lets you inspect the face, clothing, handwriting, background, and any historical details before you unlock the final file.
Photos that usually fit this use case
Ancestor portraits, old family group photos, immigration-era prints, military portraits, school photos, and album scans can all be good candidates when enough detail remains.
If the photo includes writing, dates, or labels, upload the full image so those details stay in context.
How to prepare archive images
Use the best scan available and keep the file uncompressed when possible. If you only have a phone photo, keep it square to the print and avoid glare.
Start with one important ancestor photo before restoring a larger family history collection.
