It started with the edit. The rest grew out of it.

Boztik began with hands-on photo editing and restoration. The browser tools came from the problems that work kept throwing up, and the original designs now sit beside it under the same name.

Photo restoration and editing: common questions.

Can damaged or faded old photos be restored?

Yes. Restoration repairs damage such as stains, scratches and fading, and can include colourising a black-and-white print. The portfolio shows real before-and-after examples.

How do I send my photo?

Get in touch through the contact page with a description of what you need, along with the original photo or a high-quality scan if you have one.

How much does photo editing cost?

Pricing can be discussed. Send the details through the contact page and the scope and price can be talked through.

How are finished edits delivered?

Through Boztik Deliver: a private link that expires automatically, with no account needed.

Can people or objects be removed from a photo?

Yes. Object removal rebuilds what was behind the distraction so the fix is not obvious. The portfolio includes an example, and the guide on removing unwanted objects explains the approach.

Are the Boztik creative tools free?

Yes. The Creative Toolkit extension for Chrome and Edge and the browser-based Creative Studio are free to use, with no Boztik account required. Creative Studio image analysis stays on your device.
