Photo restoration and retouching

Bring your family photos back.

Faded, torn, or missing someone who should be there? Upload your photo, pick a posted price, and get it back in 3 business days.

See the difference

Drag the line.

On one side is what time does to a print: fading, stains, a crease across the middle, a corner torn away. On the other is what you get back.

Every job starts with AI tools that handle the heavy repair. Then I go over each photo myself, the way I have for 32 years, before it ever reaches you.

Meet your photographer

The name is back.

QuikPix was the name of my first photography business. I grew it through the move from film to digital, and over three decades I owned six studios and sat with thousands of families. Now the name is back with one job: giving people the pictures they thought they'd lost.
