FAQ
Questions before you upload
Is PhotoAlive AI free to try?
Yes. Each visitor gets 1 animation and 3 restores per day on this page, with no account and no card. A daily limit for all visitors also applies, and the page tells you when it is reached.
Which photos work best?
Sharp, well lit photos where the face looks toward the camera work best. Two people in one photo are fine. Very dark, tiny or blurry photos, and faces turned away, give weaker results.
How long does it take?
An animation usually takes 1 to 3 minutes. The page keeps checking while it is open. Restores go through the same queue, and the result appears on the page when it is ready.
What are the limits on this page?
Per visitor: 1 animation and 3 restores per UTC day. The site also has a daily total shared by everyone. When a limit is used up, the page points you to the Telegram bot, where more packages are available.
Are my photos private?
Your photo goes to our AI provider fal.ai only to create the result. We do not save it to our disk. Uploads are deleted within 1 day, results within 7 days, and our records are purged after 30 days.
Do I need an account or a Telegram profile?
No. This page works without sign up. The Telegram bot is optional and only needed for more packages.
What is the Telegram bot for?
The bot @photoalive_ai sells more animations and restorations in packages and has a free invite link. Its balance is separate from this page.
Can I use an iPhone photo in HEIC format?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF photos from iPhones are accepted. You do not need to convert them first.
Can I delete my photo earlier?
This page has no account, so an upload cannot be looked up later. Files are removed on the schedule above. To ask for earlier removal, write to our support on Telegram and tell us when you uploaded.
Can I use photos of other people?
Only upload photos you have the right to use. Ticking the box confirms that you do. The upload does not start without it.
