Our verdict on Restory

Restory is a web-based AI creative suite for restoring damaged photographs. It is designed for families, creators, and teams working with scratches, tears, fading, water damage, missing areas, and black-and-white images. Its restoration tools also cover face enhancement, facial-feature preservation, and image upscaling up to 8x. Restored images can be downloaded, while the cloud gallery provides a place to store and organize outputs. The service is available on the web and through a public API.

Pricing is organized around annual billing. Starter costs $8.99 per month billed annually and includes 300 credits per year, AI photo restoration, gallery storage, and email support. Pro costs $23.99 per month billed annually and adds 1,200 credits per year, AI video generation, an image upscaler, priority processing, and a commercial use license. ULTRA costs $99.99 per month billed annually and provides 6,000 credits per year, dedicated support, and the same listed creative additions and commercial license as Pro. A 50 Credits top-up costs $17.98 and remains valid while the subscription is active.

Restory stands out when output quality, restoration breadth, and workflow access matter together. Premium 2K or 4K restoration, downloadable images, and an API make it suitable for higher-resolution projects and repeatable restoration workflows. The broader creative features—image generation and video animation—may appeal to teams that want related tools in one service, while users seeking only a narrowly focused photo repair tool may find that scope unnecessary. Choose Restory for advanced restoration capabilities, cloud organization, and API access; consider another option if a free plan or monthly billing is essential.
