Other subscription and pay-as-you-go credit packages are listed. Main-platform credit purchases have a 14-day refund guarantee, but Shopify App credit purchases are non-refundable.

DaVinci AI Photo Restoration repairs old or damaged photographs, addressing scratches, tears, creases, water stains, fading, discoloration, noise, and low resolution. It can process severely damaged images more than once for progressive improvement and can add color to black-and-white photos. DaVinci says restored images are enlarged to 4K and downloadable as high-resolution files for printing or sharing.

A smartphone photo of a printed picture can be used without first making a high-resolution scan; even lighting and minimal glare are recommended. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web. DaVinci says users retain ownership of restored images and may use them personally or commercially under its Terms of Use. Its restoration page says uploads and results remain private and are not used to train AI models. Its privacy policy says image data for certain third-party AI features is shared with the relevant provider to generate results in real time.
