Heirloom
The photos that matter most are the ones time is hardest on. Heirloom uses on-device-friendly AI to repair scratches, sharpen faces, and restore colour to the pictures your family can't replace.
Overview
Heirloom is an AI photo restoration app for the moments you can't recreate. Point it at a cracked, water-stained, or faded print and it rebuilds detail the original has lost — without turning faces into strangers.
Beyond repair, Heirloom can gently colourise black-and-white photos and combine people from separate pictures into one portrait, so a grandparent and grandchild who never shared a frame finally can.
It's built for families, not pixel-peepers: a few taps, a clear before/after, and a full-resolution image you can print and keep.
