What we can fix

  • Faded or discolored photos
  • Scratches, dust, spots, and small tears
  • Creases and folds
  • Soft or slightly blurry faces
  • Optional: natural color for black-and-white photos

Results depend on the original. If part of a face is missing or badly damaged, we'll tell you what's possible before anything is printed.

Photographing an old print

  1. Take it out of the album sleeve or frame if you can.
  2. Lay it flat near a window and turn off your flash.
  3. Hold your phone straight above it so the edges look square.
  4. Fill the screen with the photo and tap to focus.

If your photo isn't usable, we'll email you before doing anything.

A gift they'll keep forever

Restore your parents' wedding photo for an anniversary, a grandparent's portrait for Christmas, or a loved one's picture as a lasting tribute. Order by December 15 for Christmas delivery.

Photo restoration questions

How much does photo restoration cost?

Nothing extra. Restoration is included free with every acrylic print. You only pay for the print size you choose, starting at $62, with free US shipping.

Do I need to mail you my original photo?

No. Your original never leaves your home. Just take a clear photo of it with your phone, or scan it, and upload it.

What if I don't like the restored version?

Reply to the proof email and tell us what to change, like "her hair was darker" or "keep it black and white." Nothing is printed until you approve it.

How long does photo restoration take?

We email your proof after you order. Once you approve it, your print usually arrives in 3–7 business days. Have a gift deadline? Contact us before ordering.

Can you colorize a black-and-white photo?

Yes. Choose "Add natural color" when you order, or keep the original black and white. Either way you approve the result before we print.

Can you add names or a date?

Yes. Add names, a date, or a short message when ordering. We’ll show the lettering on your restored photo in the proof we email after checkout.

Is my photo kept private?

Yes. We only use your photo to restore and print your order. We never share it or use it in our marketing without your permission.

Old photo restoration, made simple

PrismScript restores old, faded, torn, and water-damaged photos and prints them on clear acrylic. Whether it's a black-and-white wedding portrait from the 1950s, a creased Polaroid, or a sun-bleached school picture, we repair scratches and creases, bring back faded color, sharpen soft faces, and can colorize black-and-white photos on request. You never mail us the original: just take a picture of it with your phone or upload a scan.

Restoration is included free with every acrylic print, in square, landscape, or portrait sizes (or a custom size on request), so a square snapshot or a tall portrait prints without awkward cropping. We email you a restored proof, you ask for any changes, and nothing is printed until you approve it. Free shipping across the United States.
