MyHeritage Photo Enhancer upscales photos with deep learning and sharpens small, blurry faces, especially in historical group photos. Free usage limits and pricing are not stated on the pages read.
MyHeritage Photo Enhancer is a web tool from MyHeritage Ltd., the genealogy company. According to the product page, it uses deep learning to upscale photos and bring blurry faces into focus. The vendor says it is especially useful for small, blurry faces in historical photos such as old group pictures, and it also works on newer colour photos.
The help center describes how it works: the tool detects faces, enlarges and sharpens them, and lets you view each enhanced face individually. The original photo stays unchanged and the enhanced version keeps the original's metadata. A MyHeritage account is needed to enhance photos, and the help article says creating an account is free.
The page does not say how many photos can be enhanced for free, whether a paid subscription is required, or what it costs. It shows a Go Premium link without explaining what that unlocks, so buyers should check the current terms inside the product before relying on it for a large batch. The enhancer is described as a web tool at myheritage.com/photo-enhancer, and a related help article covers a mobile app without detailing it here.
Other photo tools sit separately in the MyHeritage Photos menu. They include a colourizing tool and Deep Nostalgia, which animates faces. The Photo Enhancer page does not describe these as part of the enhancer, nor does it describe scratch removal or damage repair. The pages read do not explain how uploaded photos are handled for privacy, and the only privacy link near the page relates to the DNA service.
The pages read do not state free limits or prices. They say only that creating a MyHeritage account is free. Check the current terms before uploading many photos.
The product page does not describe scratch removal or damage repair. It describes upscaling and sharpening of faces.
Not in the enhancer itself according to the page. Colorize is listed as a separate tool in the MyHeritage Photos menu.
