The Story Behind PICAV.APP

It started with my own old family photos - faded, scratched, the kind you're afraid to touch in case they fall apart. I just wanted to bring them back. That curiosity turned into experimenting with AI image models, and what began as a personal project for myself slowly became something I thought other people might actually want too.

PICAV.APP is the result: a toolbox for two things I kept coming back to - restoring the photos that matter, and reimagining them in styles you'd never get from a regular filter app. Old Photo Fix sits right next to Van Gogh and Y2K, because both are really the same idea: looking at a photo and seeing what it could become.

I build and run PICAV.APP myself, one person, no big team behind it - just someone who started this because of his own photos, and kept going because other people's stories turned out to matter just as much.

What You'll Find Here

Restoration - bring damaged, faded, or low-quality old photos back to life.

Style Transformation - turn any photo into Van Gogh, Y2K, ink-wash, papercraft, and more, with new styles added regularly.

Every generation runs on Google's commercial Gemini API - meaning your photos are never used to train AI models. You can read the full details in our Privacy Policy.
