However, several reviews note inconsistent outputs when merging portraits and poor results for landscapes. Advertising and pricing are a common complaint, along with payment/refund issues and limited support. Overall, strong restoration when it works, but reliability and pricing friction are recurring concerns. ### Pros - Impressive restoration results on old photos with natural-looking skin tones (recreated old photos, excellent skin tones). - Easy to use, flexible and convenient to operate. - Works well even in the free tier, providing good results without immediate payment. - Broad restoration capabilities that fix scratches and enhance old images. ### Cons - Inaccurate or inconsistent outputs when merging portraits (faces, hair color, etc.). - Not suitable for non-portrait content like landscapes (descratch of buildings) and negative results for those types. - Heavy advertising and confusing pricing/trial setup, including card requirements for trials. - Payment flow issues and reports of poor or unresponsive customer support for refunds. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Old Photo - Restore Repair](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.youreducationalapp.old.photo.restore.repair) — 959 users, 4.75 / 5 - [Revivor - Restore Old Photos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.isomem.photorestore) — 4,559 users, 4.33 / 5 - [Restore Old Photos: ReliveAI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.refined.picrestorerai) — 817 users - [AI Photo Restore – Snaprevive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.snaprevive_ai.android) — 215 users - [Old Picture Restoration, Fix](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.limbicapps.nostalgia) — 7,893 users, 4.64 / 5 - [RetroFix - Restore old photos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/app.retrofix) — 37,890 users, 4.62 / 5 - [Revive - Restore Old Photos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.digitalsprout.revive) — 8,679 users - [Photo Revive:AI Family Reunion](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.photorevive.aivideogeneration) — 50,581 users, 2.52 / 5 - [OldPhotoFix-Restore OldPicture](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.photofix) — 37 users - [Old Photo Restoration:Restoria](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bluepointer.restoria) — 11,921 users, 4.53 / 5 - [Restora : AI Photo Enhancer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mericerkosun.my_first_app) — 61 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.renewphoto)
