Colorize black and white photos and bring old photos to life. No subscription.
Fondly is an old photo restoration app that helps you restore old photos, colorize black and white photos and bring old photos to life. With Google's Gemini AI, it removes scratches, dust, tears, stains and fading from old family photos, adds natural color, and can turn a photo into a short, gentle video.
Restore old photos in seconds
Pick a photo from your gallery and choose "Restore only". The AI can fix old photos with scratches, repair old photos that are torn or faded, and sharpen blur. Black and white photos stay black and white unless you choose to add color.
Colorize black and white photos
Tap "Restore + colorize" to repair your photo and give it natural, realistic colors that suit its era. It is a gentle way to see your grandparents' wedding day or your parents' first home in color.
Bring old photos to life
Turn a restored photo into a 4-second moving portrait. People blink, breathe and smile softly, with small, natural movements and a slow camera push-in. It is an easy way to animate old photos: old photo to video in one tap.
Make it 80s
Turn a photo of you and the people you love into a snapshot from the 1980s, with retro outfits, warm film colors and a worn print edge with a date stamp. Faces stay the same. It works best when faces look at the camera.
Faces stay the same
In old photo restoration, the people matter most. For restore and colorize, the app tells the AI to keep every face, age, expression, hairstyle, outfit and pose exactly as it is, and never to add or remove people. Your grandparents should still look like your grandparents. "Make it 80s" keeps every face and age too; only the clothes, hair volume and photo style change.
Fair and simple
• Your first restore is free.
• Buy credit packs when you need them. You pay once per pack. No subscription and no ads.
• 1 credit = 1 restore, 1 colorize or 1 "Make it 80s" photo. 10 credits = 1 video.
• If a job fails, your credit comes back automatically.
Private by design
• No sign-up needed. Saving your credits with Google is optional.
• The app only sees the photos you pick in the system photo picker.
• Your photos and results are deleted from our servers after 7 days. Save the ones you love.
• To make your results, your photos are processed by Google's Gemini AI.
Good to know
• Results are made by AI. They may not be perfect, and colors are an educated guess.
• Every result has a "Report" button, so you can flag anything that looks wrong or offensive.
• Results carry Google's invisible SynthID watermark, and videos also show a small app tag.
• Google's AI may refuse some photos, for example some photos of children or photos it sees as sensitive. If that happens, your credit is refunded.
• Only use photos you have the right to use.
• Credits stay with this app on this phone unless you save them with Google. Without that, uninstalling the app or clearing its data can remove unused credits.
• An internet connection is needed.
With Fondly you can restore old photos, colorize black and white photos, animate old photos and share your family history with the people you love.
