Questions
Good to know.
What photos work best?
Clear scans or photos of prints, with faces not too tiny. Take the photo straight on, in daylight, without glare.
What happens to my photos?
They're used only to colour your photo, and deleted automatically after 7 days. We never share them.
What if I don't like it?
The preview is free, so you only pay if you like it. If something's wrong after you pay, reply to your receipt email within 14 days for a refund.
Do I need an account?
No. Pay, download, done. Your receipt email has your link.
