Common questions

Do I need to write prompts?

No. Upload the photo and click restore. The only options are three switches: remove scratches, restore colors, enhance resolution — all on by default.

How much does it cost?

Each restoration costs 10 credits. Credit packs start at $1 and never auto-renew; memberships give a monthly allowance. New accounts get free credits to try.

How long does it take?

Usually 1–2 minutes. You can leave the page — finished photos stay in your recent restorations for 7 days.

What photos work best?

Scans give the best results, but a straight-on phone photo of a print works well too. JPG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB.

Are my photos private?

Your photos are not public or shared with other users. They are processed by our service providers only to complete the task, and originals and results are removed from our storage after 7 days.

Can I use restored photos commercially?

TikTomato does not claim ownership of your uploads or restored photos. Commercial use depends on the rights you have in the original and the laws that apply to you.
