OldtoLife vs Reviva

OldtoLife is an iOS app for repairing and reviving old, faded, scratched, damaged, or black-and-white photos. Its six tools are Remove Scratches, Colorize, Enhance, Brighten, Recreate, and Merge. Users select an image from the camera roll or scan a print, choose a tool, then compare the result before saving or sharing. The site says processing usually takes about ten seconds and returns a high-resolution image. Full-HD results can be saved to the gallery or shared with family. JPEG, PNG, and HEIC files are supported. A free plan is available. The Annual plan costs $49.90 a year after a 3-day free trial and includes unlimited restorations, all six tools, full-HD downloads and sharing, no daily limit, no watermark, and new tools as they launch. No account is required. Submitted photos are sent to the backend and AI provider for processing, use encrypted connections, and are retained only as long as needed for delivery.

Reviva restores damaged photographs, colorizes black-and-white images, and sharpens blurry faces. Its Restore mode addresses tears, creases, water stains, missing corners, and fading. Colorize adds color to grayscale pictures, including skin tones, skies, and fabric, while Enhance aims to recover facial detail in blurry, soft, or low-resolution photos. The maker says a restored image is usually ready in well under a minute. Results can be saved in full resolution, printed, or shared. Reviva is available for iOS and macOS; listed compatibility requires iOS 15.1 or later, or macOS 12.0 or later on an Apple M1 chip or later. The Free plan costs nothing and includes three restorations, full-resolution downloads, and no watermarks. Reviva Pro Yearly costs $59.99 a year and includes unlimited restorations and full restored history. Uploaded originals are deleted from the processing pipeline after successful restoration, while results stay in history until deleted. The maker says photos are processed by third-party AI providers and are not used to train its own models.
