I have a shed load of old photos that I am trying to recover....
Black and White / creased etc
I found one site (https://unblurimage.ai/old-photo-restoration/) that works brilliantly - when you select PRO - it uses AI to produce incredible images.
There's no logon needed.

The downside is that you are limited to 5 per day - unless there is some way to bypass this limiter ?
Its not cookies (cleared them) - what else could the site leave on my laptop by way of "tracking"

If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    It's probably a crude IP address / browser fingerprint type of check. Try using a VPN and/or a different browser.

    No I have tried another browser - no good
    I'll have to wait until tomorrow and do 5 a day !
    The website does do what it says on the tin though.

    It's 6 per day unless you pay for credits... depending on how many photos you need varies if its cheaper to just buy a block of them or do a subscription.

    no way

  • Then just carry on doing 6/day.  Computing power isn’t free to the site owners. 
    Also be careful that the AI isn’t eventing too much detail - particularly in faces. I prefer a “light touch when it comes to photo-restoration
