How it works

How FotoRipple works

From a fading print to a living video keepsake in three simple steps — no skills, no software, and your first photo is free.

FotoRipple turns old photos into restored, colorized, and gently animated keepsakes — all from your browser. Here's the whole process.

Three steps, from print to keepsake

FotoRipple is built to be effortless. You don’t need editing skills, a scanner, or any software — just a photo and a browser.

  1. Upload. A phone photo of the print is enough. Scan carefully if you want the sharpest possible source.
  2. Let AI work. Restore the damage, colorize black-and-white, and gently animate the portrait — each step optional, all automatic.
  3. Download. Keep, print, or gift your restored photo or finished video, set to music if you like.

Through all of it, we follow one rule — repair the damage, keep the person. Start your first photo free.

How it works

  1. 1Upload your photo. Take a clear phone photo of the print or upload an existing scan. No scanner required — though our scanning guide helps you get the sharpest source.
  2. 2Let AI do the work. FotoRipple restores damage and fading, colorizes black-and-white photos, and can gently animate the portrait — usually in minutes.
  3. 3Download & share. Save your restored photo or finished video to keep, print, or gift. Add music to turn several photos into a montage.

No skills needed

Everything is automatic. You choose the photo; FotoRipple handles the restoring, coloring, and animating.

Keeps the person

We repair the damage and preserve the real person — never glamour edits or invented faces.

Free to start
