Family historians with faded photos of relatives will like the restore tools, though the free allowance for them isn't clear.
Kenning's take
What it does
MyHeritage is a family history service whose photo tools sharpen blurry faces in old photos, colourise black-and-white pictures and animate still portraits. The Photo Enhancer runs on the website and in the MyHeritage app, alongside family tree building, historical record search and DNA testing.
