Hotpot AI bundles photo restoration into a wider suite of AI generation tools. If your job is specifically the shoebox of old family photos, a focused app does it better.

Drag to compare — a real Reviva restore

General AI-image suites are optimized for generating new images, with restoration as one mode among many. Reviva only does one thing: bring your actual old photos back.

Restoration-first, not generation-first

Reviva reconstructs the photo that's actually there — the damage, the fading, the faces — rather than generating a plausible-looking replacement.

Mobile-first, no desktop suite

Reviva runs on your phone in seconds. No account juggling across a broader AI-tools dashboard just to fix one family photo.

Priced for a whole archive

A flat subscription with a free trial suits restoring a full box of family photos, rather than credits or per-generation pricing.
