What’s different

Why memorial photos need careful restoration.

Often the only good photo.
The photo chosen for a service is often a small, old or soft snapshot. Restoration recovers the face and repairs damage so it holds up when printed larger.
Printed big, viewed up close.
Memorial portraits are printed for easels, programs and frames. Restoration removes the dust and scratches that become obvious at large sizes.
Cropped from group shots.
Many memorial photos are cut from a family or event picture. Restoration helps recover a face that was only a small part of the original frame.
Keep the likeness true.
Fine details are reconstructed by our restoration algorithms. Check the preview with someone who knew them well and keep the original alongside the restored copy.

Frequently asked questions

How do I restore a photo for a funeral or memorial?

Scan the print at 600 DPI, or 1200 DPI if you plan to crop in on a face, upload it to Topaz for Web and let Photo Restoration repair it. Check the preview and download the restored copy in seconds.

How quickly can I get a restored photo for a service?

Restoration takes a few seconds per photo, so you can prepare a portrait the same day. Leave time for printing, which is usually the slower step.

Can I use a face cropped from a group picture?

Yes. Crop the face you need, then restore it. Results depend on how much detail the original holds, so start from the highest resolution scan or file you have.

Will the restored photo still look like them?

Restoration repairs damage and sharpens detail, but fine features are reconstructed by our restoration algorithms. Compare the result with the original and with other photos before printing.
