A worn-out, blurry photo of a yellow Labrador — Before: a small, grainy, faded photo

Oil portrait of the same Labrador made from the blurry photo — After: the portrait made from it

What happens to a worn-out photo

The picture on this page is our own demo photo of a yellow Labrador, shrunk, blurred, grained and faded on purpose. The portrait next to it was made from that worn copy, not from the sharp original. The portrait is painted fresh from your photo, so the grain and blur do not carry over.

Photos that work

Old prints you scanned or photographed with your phone
Small, cropped or zoomed-in phone pictures
Faded, grainy or slightly out-of-focus shots
A pet who has passed, where the one good photo is an old one

What to look for in the photo

You need to see the face: both eyes, the nose and the markings. If the face is clear enough for you to know it is them, it is clear enough to try. Heavy blur over the eyes, or a pet far away in the frame, gives weaker results. Upload it anyway: it costs nothing to see.
