How do I use the MyHeritage Photo Enhancer on the MyHeritage mobile app?

You can also enhance photos using the very latest version of the MyHeritage mobile app. You can download it for free from the App Store or Google Play. If you already have the app, you’ll need to update it first to make sure you’re using the latest version which is equipped with the MyHeritage Photo Enhancer.

You can enhance photos from the app’s Photos section or upload new photos and enhance them. ​​​​​​​


Enhance any photo in the Photos section in one tap. ​​​​​​​


Once the photo is enhanced, you’ll see the photo with the slider bar down the center, which you can drag to view the photo before and after.

Click on any of the faces detected in the photo to zoom in and see the before and after photos for that face.

Click the icon for more options to save the photo or delete the enhanced photos.

When you save the photo, you’ll be given the option to save the original photo, the enhanced version, or the comparison photo. If you delete the original photo, if an enhanced version exists, it will be deleted as well.

​​​​​​​Selecting which photo to save, after enhancing a photo


If you wish to upload new photos to enhance, we recommend using the scanner feature in the MyHeritage mobile app to digitize your photos and transfer them from their physical albums straight to MyHeritage, where they will be preserved for posterity. When scanning your photos, do so in the highest resolution possible to maximize quality and achieve the best possible results.
