What types of photos can I restore?

Old family portraits, wedding photos, school pictures, holiday snapshots, and any photo with scratches, fading, water damage, or age-related wear. PhotoBetter works best with photos from the 1920s to 1990s. It can also colorize black and white photos from any era.
