Add your photos and home videos, choose a style and how long the film runs. We restore the photos, bring them into gentle motion, pick the best moments from your videos, and put it all together with music. No editing on your part.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. Your first animation is on us, with no credit card. Use one photo, or add a second one to watch them grow up.

How long does it take?

Minutes, not days. The animations are made in the background, so you can close the page. We email you the moment your film is ready.

What does photo restoration do?

It repairs what time did: fading, scratches, creases and torn corners. Black and white photos come back in colour, and soft scans are sharpened. You can turn it off to keep the originals as they are.

Which files can I upload?

Photos in JPG, PNG, HEIC and WebP, and videos in MP4 and MOV, straight from your phone or computer.

Our story

70 years of family legacy

Three generations of one family, keeping other families’ memories.

1940s
It started with a keyhole
Our story begins in 1940s Baghdad. My grandfather Isaac learned the craft of photography through the keyhole of a film lab: watching, absorbing, learning. That is where he first met photography and film developing, learned to work with the chemicals, and knew this was his craft.
1956
The first shop
In 1956 he opened his first shop, Photo Linof: studio portraits, passport photos, developing prints and negatives, every photo service there was. And on top of that, weddings and events, filmed on Super 8 and shot in stills.
1960s
Rachel joins the shop
In the 1960s he met my grandmother Rachel. They married, and she joined the shop: she looked after the customers, worked on the developing and the prints, and became part of the place itself. An impressive woman, to this day.
1970s
Children grow up in the shop
In the 1970s the children grew up right inside the shop. My father Ofer, the eldest, started working there at the age of ten, filming events and weddings.
1980s
Video arrives
In the early 1980s video arrived, and the shop grew with it: video tapes, video filming, converting and copying tapes, turning Super 8 reels into video. After the 1980s my father went to the United States and opened a lab of his own there, Horizon Video, specialising in converting and copying video tapes.
1999
One of the largest labs in the world
In 1999 my father joined his parents again and grew Linof into a large lab, one of the largest in the world for restoring and converting every format made in the last hundred years: video, film and photos. The lab has been running for nearly 30 years.

2017
The third generation joins
And the third generation? My twin brother Yuval and I grew up right inside this lab, both in the photo shop and in the lab. We have had the pleasure and the honour of working with our grandparents and our father, and today the two of us carry on the family business together.
2026
A new Linof chapter: Ash joins
I met Ash at WalkMe about six years ago, and we quickly became friends. When we both wanted to go our own way, I told him about my dream of carrying Linof forward, and he loved it. Ash is an engineer with rare talent, and he taught me to build with AI.
In 2026 the third generation is taking the family business a step further, into artificial intelligence, and this time with a partner. Linof.ai is our first product: it helps families turn photos and videos into a film for their big days, simply, with the help of AI. Our vision is to help families keep their memories, in photos and video, for years to come.
