A few useful answers.
Will Restore change the colours in my original photo?
You choose the restoration style. Use a preserving style when the original tone matters, or select colourization to explore an imagined colour version. The result is a separate image.
Do I need an account to edit a photo?
Yes. Choose a photo here, then sign in or create an account. Your selected photo is carried into the workspace, where you choose your settings before processing.
When does an edit use my balance?
Uploading does not spend anything. Processing spends balance only after an image is successfully produced. Subscription credit costs vary by tool. A purchased pack spends one image per successful job on any tool.
Where will my images be saved?
Storage is enabled by default. Images are retained in private storage and delivered through an authenticated route that checks ownership. You can switch storage off for future jobs in Settings. Deleting an image from My Images permanently deletes the stored original, result, and thumbnail. This cannot be undone.
