Questions

How do I get the best scan of an old photo?
Lay it flat by a window, shoot straight down, and avoid flash. Glare and a tilted angle are harder to fix than scratches.
Are the colours historically accurate?
They are a plausible guess. The model has no record of the original colours, so check details like uniforms or cars against what the family remembers.
Is it free?
Yes, within limits. In the app the free plan gives you 2 creations a day, one every 4 hours. Kitana Pro raises that to 6 a day and adds packs of 2 or 4 variations.
What happens to my photo?
Your photo is used only to make your result. Kitana does not build biometric identifiers from it or use it for anything else.
