PhotoBoost review
A wide-platform enhancer for restoring, enlarging and improving photos, documents and low-light images.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PhotoBoost is an AI image enhancer for individuals, families, creators and professionals who need to improve blurry or soft photos, restore older images, recover facial detail, enhance color and lighting, or upscale images. It also supports document text clarity, portraits, low-light images and historical photographs. Browser-based enhancement is complemented by native desktop apps and mobile apps, with support for JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC files.
The pricing structure covers subscriptions and one-time credit packs. The Free option includes core editing tools and no credit card, but is presented as introductory credits rather than an unlimited free plan. Pro costs $39.99 per year or $4.99 per week and adds the desktop app, AI video upscaling, unlimited local tools and no watermark. Max costs $79.99 per year or $9.99 per week with the same listed highlights. Buyers who do not want a subscription can choose 200 credits for $19.99, 700 credits for $49.99 or 1,500 credits for $99.99; each credit pack is one-time and requires no subscription.
Platform coverage is a central strength. PhotoBoost runs on the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, while desktop processing adds full-resolution output and batch projects. Its feature set spans up to 4× upscaling, old-photo damage repair, face detail recovery, color recovery, low-light and backlit enhancement, document clarity, side-by-side comparison and export. Choose PhotoBoost if you want one product across desktop and mobile or need several enhancement modes in the same workflow. It is less suitable for buyers seeking unlimited free access or a narrowly focused tool with a single enhancement purpose.
