[Restore my photo]()1 credit per successful photo · Account required[See credit packs]() Quick answer ## The short version Fund only slideshow images whose repair is useful at their actual screen placement. Finalise the selection first, trial a decision-critical portrait and test saved outputs in the real presentation. Static image restoration does not animate faces, build the slideshow or recover historical motion. ## Define this purchase decision This is a purchasing scope for still-image repair, separate from preparing a slideshow timeline or export. A screen presentation can show some photos full-screen and others as small contextual inserts. Review those placements before selecting paid processing. A lightly faded source may already work well for a brief small display, while a key portrait may deserve detailed repair and approval. Do not buy processing for every nominated photo before the presenter selects the story. Count distinct source files and intended versions. Reusing an accepted image on two slides does not require another restoration. Background removal or optional colour interpretations should be separate choices with a specific visual purpose. ## Worked decision example Worked example: a ten-minute slideshow has sixty placements but forty-five distinct images. Eighteen sources need visible repair at their intended display size, and three accepted portraits may need a separate enlargement for close presentation. The planned operation count is 18 + 3 = 21 before justified reruns, rather than sixty first restorations. A 1600×1200 4:3 file placed within a 1920×1080 16:9 slide can be fit at 1440×1080 with side space. Filling the whole slide instead crops the top and bottom after scaling. This geometry does not mean the face is faithful or the actual projector is sharp. Preview the saved file on the presentation system before buying an unnecessary repair to solve a layout issue. ## Complete the decision worksheet - Selection gate: source ID, placement and visible repair need. Keep unused nominations out of the paid scope. - Approval gate: a reviewer for important identities and a clear policy for interpreted colour. Avoid last-minute alternates without family approval. - File gate: actual downloaded dimensions, format and readable local path. The slideshow should use saved files rather than temporary dashboard URLs. - Rehearsal gate: test crop, captions, transitions and file availability on the event device. The restoration app does not build or validate the presentation. ## Resolve the buyer objections Should I enlarge every source to the projector resolution? Check placement dimensions first. Small inserts need fewer pixels than full-screen portraits. Enlarging all images can add paid operations without improving the intended use. It also cannot recover authentic facial detail that the source lacks. Will restoration make people move or speak? No such feature is part of this workflow. It produces still-image derivatives. If another tool animates them, label that additional interpretation and review its terms separately. Do not describe generated motion as recovered family footage. ## Keep a useful decision record Use a separate presentation-ready folder containing only the saved files approved for the slideshow. Keep originals and rejected trials in other folders so the presenter cannot accidentally import them as alternates. Test the show without relying on a live dashboard session or a network request for images. Confirm that any captions refer to the source evidence and that interpreted colour versions are identified where needed. If the screen output crops a person, correct the placement before buying another repair. A rehearsal should settle whether the chosen files serve the viewing task; it should not become another open-ended restoration experiment. Preserve the slideshow's source-to-file mapping for later family reuse. Keep the completion note with the source IDs so a later relative can understand the approved scope without repeating the purchase. ## Choose the next action Pilot the image whose result controls the project, compare it with the source and view it in the actual slide layout. After acceptance, check credit packs for the selected still-image scope. Process compatible batches and review every important face before adding the files to the presentation. Download within the ten-day window and create a self-contained presentation with backups and original-image fallbacks. If one restoration fails, use the source or another selected photo. The purchasing goal is a dependable set of viewed images, not a promise that every photo becomes flawless on a large screen. ## FAQs Does RestoreBunny generate the slideshow? No. It processes still images. Timeline, transitions, presentation export and rehearsal are separate work. Does reusing an image on several slides use more credits? Reusing one saved output does not generate it again. Additional processing attempts are separate. Can static restoration recover authentic motion? No. A restored still image contains no recovered motion or voice recording. ## Sources Preservation and technical guidance reviewed for this article. - RestoreBunny: [Current credit-pack pricing]() - RestoreBunny: [Credits, outputs and privacy FAQ]() - RestoreBunny: [Credit purchase and technical issue policy]() - RestoreBunny: [Image processing and retention policy]() ## Related - [Photo Restoration Quality Checklist: What to Check Before Saving]() - [Share Family Photos Accessibly: Alt Text, Captions and Readable Notes]() - [Review supported photo restoration]() - [Start an eligible restoration trial]() - [Check current credit-pack terms]() - [Check actual photo dimensions for free]() ## Ready to restore your photos?
