Find a photo like yours
Whatever happened to your photo, our artists have brought one back from worse
Torn, water-stained, faded, creased, in pieces. Tell us what happened to yours and we will tell you honestly what can be recovered.
Bring your old photos back to life
No photo is too far gone for our artists — including the ones other services turned away. We also colorize black-and-white photos, recover blurry faces, and enlarge small prints so they are ready to frame. If a photo truly cannot be saved, we will tell you honestly and you will not pay a cent.
3 easy steps to restore your photos
Take a picture of your photo, right at your kitchen table
Use your phone or a scanner — either works. Your original never leaves your hands. Then choose your artist and options and check out securely.
A restoration specialist works on your photo
A real person sits down with your photo, using professional digital restoration tools. They mend the tears, lift the stains and, if you would like, add true-to-life color.
Get it back and approve it before it is final
Your restored photo arrives by email in a few days, with a 24-hour rush option. Nothing is final until you say so — revisions are free.

Remember when your town had a photo shop?
Someone behind the counter knew your name. You would bring in a torn print of your mother, and a week later it came back in a paper envelope, mended, because the person who fixed it actually cared how it turned out.
Most of those counters are gone now. What replaced them are apps that run your mother's face through a computer and hand you back a stranger.
We started Healed Memories to bring the counter back. Real specialists, working one photo at a time, reviewing and refining every result. They do not call a photo finished until it looks the way you remember it. The only difference from the old counter is that you do not have to drive, and the envelope arrives by email in a couple of days.
Who is Healed Memories for?
Grandparents & parents
Bring the photos in the shoebox back to life and share the stories behind them while everyone is still around to hear them.
Children & the young-at-heart
Give the gift of the past. A parent's favorite memory, restored and colorized, lands differently than anything you can buy in a shop.
Families with a legacy
Hang the photo that shows where your family — or your company — came from, restored well enough to frame.
If there is a shoebox in your closet you have been meaning to do something about, this is for you.
