VanceAI Photo Restorer repairs old-photo damage such as scratches, tears, stains, and creases, while correcting faded color and sharpening facial details. Its automatic workflow applies damage repair, face enhancement, and faded-color correction. Users can optionally create a separate colorized copy of a black-and-white photo, or send a restored image to a separate upscaler for a larger reprint. The web app handles one image at a time; VanceAI for PC on Windows supports batch restoration and processes files locally. Web users can start with free credits and preview a result without a watermark or credit card, though each completed restoration uses credits. Web uploads can be up to 10MB and 34MP; paid web plans provide clean results without watermarks. Uploaded images are encrypted in transit and deleted within 24 hours after processing. Local PC processing uses no credits, has no queue, and accepts images of any size. The pricing note lists paid access from $9/mo billed annually; listed web plans start at $15.00 per month. Desktop options include $39.90 per month, $99.90 per year, and $129.90 per once for lifetime use.
