No subscription photo restoration
Pay As You Go Photo Restoration for One-Time Projects
Restore old photos with one-time credit packs instead of a monthly plan. PixRestorer is built for occasional projects, budget control, and fast results when you need them.
Why It Works Better
Why Pay As You Go
Pay-as-you-go photo restoration fits the way most people restore old photos: in small batches, for one-time needs, without another subscription.
No subscription means no recurring bill when you only restore photos a few times a year.
One-time credit packs work well for occasional family albums, memorial projects, and gift restorations.
Simple budget control: one credit equals one restored photo, so costs stay predictable.
Unused credits stay in your account for the next batch instead of expiring at the end of a billing cycle.

Process
How It Works
Buy once, restore what you need now, and come back later when another photo project comes up.
Upload your old photo
Start with the few portraits, prints, or album scans you want to repair right now.
Run AI restoration
Use PixRestorer when you are ready, then let the AI repair fading, scratches, and blur in seconds.
Use one credit and download
Each completed restore uses one credit, so you pay one time for the photos you actually finish.
