Hello everyone — we’re the team behind VidFixr. Here are a few answers for anyone considering restoring an old home video.

What can VidFixr do?

It restores and upscales existing video files online, colorizes black-and-white footage, or combines both options.

Can I check the result before paying?

Yes. Before uploading, select the optional free watermarked Preview to review a short sample first. Full processing is selected by default, so choose Preview first if that’s the route you want.

Can it recover every blurry or missing detail?

No. A sharper-looking result doesn’t prove that reconstructed details match the original scene. Keep your original and compare familiar faces, movement and textures in motion.

Does colorization recover the original colors?

No — added color is an estimate. Use reliable reference material where you have it, and check that colors remain consistent throughout the clip.

Can I upload a videotape?

You’ll need to have it digitized into a playable video file first. VidFixr processes digital files; it doesn’t transfer physical tapes.

You can find the tool at https://vidfixr.com/. If you have a question about your old recording, tell us what you’d like to improve.
