## What is PastLight?

PastLight brings old photographs back to life. Restore old photos, unblur faces, repair scratches and colorize black-and-white pictures with AI, in about thirty seconds.

Pick a photo from your library — faded, scratched, creased, water-stained, or just soft and out of focus — and PastLight rebuilds the detail that time took away. No sign-up and no account: your first two restores are free.

WHAT PASTLIGHT DOES
• Restore — bring back true colour to faded and yellowed prints
• Unblur — sharpen soft, blurry and out-of-focus photos
• Colorize — add natural colour to black-and-white photos
• Scratch and crease repair — remove scratches, tears, folds and dust
• Faces — make faces clear and sharp again
• Before and after — slide to compare the original with the restored photo
• Share — save to your camera roll or send to family in one tap

RESTORE OLD PHOTOS IN THREE STEPS
1. Pick a photo and crop to the part that matters
2. Choose Restore, or Colorize for black-and-white photos
3. Save it to your camera roll, or share it

WHO IT IS FOR
The shoebox of prints in the cupboard. The wedding album with water damage. The only photo of a grandparent, creased from a wallet. PastLight is built to restore old photos like these — the ones that can't be taken again.

It also works as an everyday photo fixer: clean up a blurry picture, improve a low-quality scan, or bring clarity to a photo of a photo.

PRIVACY
The photo you choose is sent to Google's Gemini AI to be restored, then sent back. Google does not use it to train their models. Location data is removed before upload. Your restored photos are kept on your device, and we keep no copies of your photographs.
