Every repair, under your control.

Old prints and scans pick up dust, fibres and long thin scratches. RevivaPix compares every pixel with its neighbours. Pixels that stand out as bright or dark marks, in a line or on their own, are marked, widened by a pixel and filled using the median of the clean pixels around them.

One slider sets how sensitive the search is. Low values only touch obvious marks. High values clean more but can soften very fine detail such as single strands of hair.

Large tears, folds and missing corners are not repaired yet. They are listed in the roadmap.

Prints fade towards a flat grey-brown. RevivaPix reads the brightest and darkest real values in each color channel, ignoring the extreme 0.5% at each end, and stretches them back to a full range. A bounded gamma step then nudges the overall brightness to a healthy midtone.

The strength slider blends between your original and the full correction, so you can stop at the point that looks right to you.

This restores contrast and density. It cannot invent detail that was never captured or has been lost completely.

The grain filter averages a pixel with its neighbours only when they are already close in color. Edges, where neighbours differ strongly, are left alone, so outlines and facial features stay defined.

Higher settings use a wider neighbourhood. Heavy settings can give skin a slightly smoother look, which is why the slider is yours to set.

Because it runs before sharpening, noise is not amplified by the next step.

Sharpening works on brightness only, so colored fringes do not appear around edges. Tiny differences below a small threshold are skipped, so grain is not boosted.

The blur radius adapts to the size of your photo, so a small snapshot and a large scan get comparable results.

Sharpening improves how clear existing detail looks. It cannot recover detail from a photo that was badly out of focus.

Neutralize balances the three color channels so a yellow or green cast fades. Black and white converts to a clean grayscale. Warm sepia applies a soft brown tone for an archival look.

These are tone treatments, not colorization. Adding natural color to black and white photos with a trained model is on the roadmap and is not part of any plan yet.

RevivaPix reads your file locally, restores it in a background thread of your browser and gives you the result as a download. The server only counts the credit and stores the settings and the image size.

That means family photos, archive scans and client work never reach a database of ours. Close the tab and the pixels are gone.

The trade-off is that very large images depend on your device. Photos are limited to 16 megapixels and 40 MB per file.
