What PhotoRestore Pro is
PhotoRestore Pro is an offline Windows application for restoring, enlarging, colorizing, and editing photographs. Restoration options include an AI workflow for aged images, a faster traditional algorithm, and a classic mode that preserves original resolution. It provides 4× AI upscaling with Real-ESRGAN and colorization for black-and-white photos. Other tools cover color presets, scratch and crease repair, a nine-style filter grid, cropping, conversion, batch watermarking, and batch resizing. PNG, JPEG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF files can be imported and exported. Batch watermarking and resizing handle up to 50 images; other functions process one image at a time. Processing stays local, without analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or network communication. Windows 10 or 11 64-bit is required. The free trial has no time limit for basic tools but limits AI runs per session.
