Pay as you go

1 credit per photo.

Billed at US$8 per credit, covering up to 20 minutes of human editing.

One credit is enough for most requests, including several changes to the same photo. If a very complex edit, a photo with lots of people, or a request for very high resolution and fine detail needs more time, we message you the extra credits before starting. You pay only if you agree.

A family of three jumping together on a crowded Waikiki beach under a gray sky. The same photo after editing: the family jumping at the water’s edge against a new, empty ocean background, in a warm film look.

How we count photos

What if you send more than one photo?

A second photo used in the result If a face, a person or a background from another photo ends up in the finished image, that photo counts too. A background you send usually needs real work of its own: we match its light, color and perspective to the people in front, so the result doesn’t look cut and pasted. If we create the new background for you, as in the order above, there is no second photo to count.

Reference images Photos that only show us what you want. We look at them; we don’t edit them.

“Replace the background with photo 2 and give it a warm film look like the magazine shot.” The finished photo: the family jumping at the water’s edge against an empty Waikiki beach background, in a warm film look

What you’ll pay

Any kind of edit: retouching, removing people or objects, a new background, old photo restoration. Up to 20 minutes of an editor’s work is included, enough for most requests.

No surprise charges

When we ask you first

  • Your photo needs more than 20 minutes of work

    One credit covers up to 20 minutes of an editor’s time on a photo, which is enough for most requests. The price you see when you order is an automatic estimate based on one credit per photo. A group photo where many people each need retouching, or a badly damaged print that has to be rebuilt, can take more.

    When it does, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra credits before starting. Extra credits are charged only after you agree and only if your balance covers them. If you say no, that photo is refunded.

    For group photos, what counts is how many people need work and how involved the request is, not how many people are in the picture. As a rough guide, retouching up to three people is 1 credit and four to eight people is 2 credits; for nine or more, the editor looks at the request and the resolution and quotes first. If there are 15 people in the photo and you only want one of them retouched, it is still 1 credit.
