MyHeritage is a website where you can research your family history. That naturally involves a lot of old photos, which is why they offer a handy online tool to automatically improve your old family photos.

MyHeritage example


The system uses the machine learning algorithms from the Remini app (Android or iOS). The result is quite impressive.

Besides improving the photo, the site also lets you easily colourise old black-and-white photos.

You can improve a number of photos for free with the site, but they will have a MyHeritage logo added to them. If you want more, you can choose a paid membership. Of course, you can also consider the app, which has paid features as well.

    Dear Elja,
    even a different subject; a lot has already been written about the best lighting conditions and the golden hour, but what if you are in a travel group or on an excursion and only have the daytime, yet still want to come home with good results despite the time pressure ? maybe a good discussion now ?
