Forevi

I’ve been working on a side project called Forevi for the past ~2 months.

It started as a personal thing when I tried to restore some old family photos, especially for my grandpa. He didn’t want a material gift for his birthday - he’s one of those people who says they don’t need anything, but actually cares a lot about memories. Most tools I tried either changed faces or added weird filters, making everything look overly “AI-smooth,” which kind of defeats the point when you’re dealing with real moments.

So I built Forevi with a simple focus: restoring old photos without changing faces or geometry, adding natural color instead of filters, upscaling images so they’re actually printable, and optionally animating photos with close-to-real motion and sound. It’s meant mostly for real family archives and any old and/or damaged photos.

I don’t expect to make a lot of money from this. There are paid plans mainly to cover generation costs (no crazy 300% ROI like some similar services). This is very much a side project.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback on what feels right, what feels off, and what you’d improve or remove.

Thanks,
Daniel
