Colorize

After a repair you can add color to a black and white photo. It is optional and uses 1 credit.

Guess the year

Mendhue estimates when a photo was taken and shows a year range with the clues it used: clothing, hairstyle, cars and the print border. The guess is free. It is a careful estimate, not a fact.

About 1952

Likely 1948 to 1958

  • Cat-eye sunglasses
  • High-waisted swimsuit
  • Deckle-edged print

Save it, dated

Save the repaired photo to Photos as a new photo dated to the guessed year. You can change the year before you save. Then share it with family.

Honest about edits

Repairs use generative editing, and a badly damaged face may be reconstructed rather than restored. Every result has a before and after compare and this label:

Repaired with generative editing

The original photo is always kept. Your photo is sent through our server to OpenAI to repair it and to Anthropic to guess the year; nothing is kept on our server. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
