Pinin review
A flexible photo restoration service with free access, batch tools, and a REST API.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pinin is a web-based AI photo restoration service for families, photographers, agencies, archives, developers, and teams working with damaged, faded, blurry, or vintage images. Its tools cover restoration of scratches, tears, fading, and other damage, black-and-white colorization, sharpening, upscaling up to 8x resolution, denoising, grain reduction, and improvements to lighting, exposure, color, and contrast. It supports both individual photo work and collection-scale processing through batch features.
The pricing structure accommodates occasional projects as well as recurring workloads. The Free plan includes 1 free image restoration, advanced AI enhancement, no watermark, and low queue priority. A one-time 5 Credits package costs $5.99 and includes 5 photo restorations. Annual-billing subscriptions start with Giotto — Personal at $12 per month for 30 monthly restorations, standard batch processing, email support, a full commercial license, and up to 2K resolution. Botticelli — Professional costs $32 per month for 100 restorations, advanced batch processing, priority support, a full commercial license, and up to 4K resolution. Da Vinci — Studio costs $72 per month for 400 restorations, ultra-priority batch processing, priority support and an account manager, a full commercial license, and up to 8K resolution. Enterprise costs $299 per month with monthly billing and adds custom volume, dedicated support, team accounts, webhooks and API support, and custom invoicing.
Pinin’s strongest distinction is its fit across web and API workflows. The REST API provides restoration, enhancement, colorization, and batch endpoints, while Enterprise adds webhooks and API support for team-oriented processes. That makes it suitable for developers, agencies, archives, and organizations automating photo collections, while the web interface serves individual restoration needs. Automatic file deletion after 30 days adds a defined file-retention behavior. Choose Pinin for restoration-focused work that also benefits from batch processing or API access. Choose another option if your workflow requires more than the plan’s monthly restoration allowance or a higher priority queue on the free tier.
