Pastory: Restore Old Photos

AI Restore repairs blur, physical damage, and faded color in old photos. You upload a scan or a photo of a print, and the app returns a sharper version. It's aimed at family archives where images have aged and lost detail, and it works best when the original still has recognizable faces and edges.

The AI hug tool turns two separate portraits into a short clip where the people appear to move toward and embrace each other. It's a recognizable format from social feeds and it's designed for one-tap output, so you don't need editing experience. Results depend on how clear and front-facing the two source images are.

Live Photo adds motion to a single still, so a portrait can blink, nod, or subtly turn. You get a short video from a photo that was never taken as one, which makes it a light live photo tool for old portraits. The motion is gentle rather than dramatic, which suits old portraits better than action shots.

AI Style applies preset looks, including classic portraits, vintage washes, and lifestyle photography, so it works as an AI portrait generator for everyday pics. You pick a style and the app renders a finished image. The tradeoff is control: you're choosing from fixed presets rather than tuning a slide for each effect.

Magic Brush lets you select a region of a photo and describe what you want changed, such as new clothing or a different hairstyle. It's the most flexible editing tool in the app because it works on parts of an image instead of the whole frame. The quality of the result tracks how specific your description is.

Most tools run from a single upload and a tap, which keeps the app usable for people who don't edit photos often. You pick a tool, add an image, and get an output without navigating layers or manual masking. That simplicity is the point, but it also means fewer manual controls when you want fine adjustments.
