Pricing
- Pricing model
- Freemium
Credit-based with paid packs and recurring plans. The site's Pricing link opens the web app's payment screen, which renders client-side and shows no figure to a signed-out visitor, so no entry price is recorded; the terms say subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled.
Use tool ↗About Face26
Face26 runs a set of single-purpose photo repair operations, each applied in one step instead of through a layered editor: sharpening, denoising, upscaling toward 4K, colorizing black-and-white images, removing backgrounds and retouching faces. It also generates headshot and dating-profile variants from uploaded selfies. The same account works across the browser app and the iOS and Android builds.

Pros & cons of Face26
A reasonable pick for rescuing old family photos when you want a result in one click and do not care about control. For commercial retouching, the absent parameter control and the trial-to-subscription billing make it a poor fit.
Pros
- Restoration, upscaling, colorization and background removal all sit behind one account
- Real native apps on both iOS and Android rather than a mobile web wrapper
- Free credits let you test output on your own photo before committing
Cons
- No API and no batch automation
- Each operation is a fixed preset with essentially no control over strength or region
- Pricing is not published on the marketing site; you have to reach the payment screen to see it
- Operated by a Wyoming LLC with no named team, which limits support recourse
Best for
- Restoring and colorizing scanned family photographs
- Unblurring or upscaling a phone shot before printing it
- Casual cleanup of a profile or headshot picture
Not for
- Professional retouching where each operation needs tuning
- High-volume or automated pipelines, since there is no API
Watch out: Trials convert into auto-renewing subscriptions by the vendor's own terms, and public reviews report charges continuing after users believed they had cancelled.
