MyHeritage Photo Enhancer sharpens blurry, low-resolution family photos by upscaling the faces in them. The face enhancement technology was licensed from the creators of the Remini mobile app, and it works on old black and white prints as well as newer color shots. Users can click through a group photo face by face to compare the before and after versions. The same account also gives access to Deep Nostalgia, which animates still portraits into short videos of a person smiling, blinking and turning their head, and to MyHeritage In Color for colorizing black and white images. A free MyHeritage account is required to run an enhancement, and photos uploaded without finishing signup are deleted automatically. It sits inside a family-history service, but the photo features work on any picture.
Hobbyist genealogists who inherited shoeboxes of faded portraits are the obvious audience, since historical photos often have tiny, soft faces that benefit most from upscaling. Relatives preparing a memorial slideshow, a wedding anniversary display or a family reunion poster will find it useful for lifting old group shots to a presentable quality. No editing skills are needed: you upload a file, wait a moment and review the result. People who want fine manual retouching control, layers or batch pipelines should look at a full photo editor instead.
A typical workflow starts with scanning a physical album page, uploading the scan, and enhancing the faces of grandparents or great-grandparents in a wedding portrait. The enhanced copy can then be saved to a family photo collection, shared with relatives by link, or printed for framing. Photos that were already colorized with MyHeritage In Color can be enhanced afterwards for a cleaner final image. Deep Nostalgia adds a second step for people who want movement: the enhanced still is animated with preset gestures, producing a short clip for social media or a family chat. Enhanced images carry a small magic wand icon in the corner, which marks them as processed copies and keeps the originals untouched.
