Photo Restoration & Edits

Don’t let your memories fade away!

Tucked away in drawers or old albums, those fading, scratched photographs are more than just pieces of paper—they’re fragments of your story, frozen in time. But as the years pass, even the most cherished prints can fall victim to damage, decay, or even total loss.

By digitizing and restoring your old photos, you’re not just saving them—you’re reviving them. Scratches can be smoothed, colors can be corrected, and torn edges can be healed, allowing you to experience those memories the way they were meant to be seen—or maybe even better. We can even increase the file size making it easy to print in large format!

What’s more, digital storage means those precious moments can now live beyond the shoebox. Secure, long-term preservation ensures that future generations can access your legacy without fear of loss from floods, fire, or fading ink. It’s about transforming the fragile into the forever—and giving old photos the second life they truly deserve.

Bring the Past into the Present: How we Restore Your Old Photographs

Your old printed photos—faded, creased, or scratched—hold the moments that shaped your story. But those memories don’t need to stay locked in a drawer. With just a bit of care and creativity, we can revive them to look like they were taken yesterday. Here's how:

Step 1: Digitize With Care

We gently clean the photo’s surface with a soft brush or cloth to remove dust. Then, using high resolution cameras and shoot from directly above.

Step 2: Repair the Damage

We import the image into photo editing software. Using careful techniques, to erase scratches, repair torn areas, and fix blemishes. Straighten the photo and crop out unnecessary edges.

Step 3: Restore Colour and Clarity

Adjust contrast, brightness, and white balance to revive natural tones. Lighten shadows, sharpen edges, and enhance fine details—like faces, text, or clothing patterns—to bring out the photograph’s full personality.

Step 4: Save and Share Securely

We save your masterpiece in high resolution, ideally both as a TIFF for archival quality and JPEG for easy sharing. Upload to secure, cloud-based storage (www.PhotoVault.co.uk) that offers private sharing and protected galleries—ensuring your legacy lasts for generations.
