The Portrait Keeper
What it costs

Photo restoration cost, in plain numbers.

No guessing. No fake sales. No “call for a quote.” Here is exactly what we charge, and you do not pay a cent until you have seen your photo restored and you love it.

You see it first. The look is free.

Send us a photo of your photo. A real person looks at it, tells you honestly what can come back and what cannot, and shows you the result. Only then do you decide. If you do not love it, you pay nothing.

Questions families ask

Do I pay anything to find out?

No. The look is free. You only pay if you love the result.

What if it cannot be saved?

Every dollar back. That is our refund promise, in writing.
