Photo Restoration & Upscaling Service

About this service

• What kinds of problems can you repair?

  Blurry photos, lightly damaged ones (scratches, marks, small tears) and overexposed or faded photos. Each case on this page shows the original next to the repaired result, so you can compare with your own.

• How much can you bring back from a very blurry photo?

  It depends on what the file still contains. The editor sharpens and rebuilds fine detail by hand, but cannot recover detail that was never captured. Where detail is missing, the result is a careful reconstruction, not the original sharp photo. The editor tells you if a photo is beyond what can be done, and if nothing can be done, that photo is refunded.

• Can you enlarge a small photo so it prints well at a bigger size?

  Yes. The editor enlarges it with professional upscaling software and checks the result by hand. Enlarging is not perfect: how far a photo can go depends on the quality of the original, above all how sharp it is. A reasonably sharp photo can usually be enlarged 2 to 4 times per side (4 to 16 times the pixels). A blurry photo will not become a sharp large print. Tell us the print size you need, and the editor tells you if your photo can reach it.

• Should I send a scan or a photo of the print?

  Either works. A flat, evenly lit scan is best. If you photograph the print, shoot it straight on, without glare or shadows across it. Send the largest, sharpest version you have.

• Will the people still look like themselves?

  The editor works from the faces in your file and does not borrow features from anywhere else. If you have a sharper photo of the same person, send it as a reference. It helps the editor stay faithful to how they looked.

Ordering with Tucia

• Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

  By a real person. Every photo is assigned to a professional human editor who does the work by hand, and a human checks the result before delivery. AI tools are used only for narrow helper steps, never as a one-click filter.

• How much does it cost?

  Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

• How long does it take?

  Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

• What if I'm not happy with the result?

  Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

• Are my photos kept private?

  Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
