The Story

I spent years in marketing, watching people struggle with the same problem over and over: they had photos that almost worked. A blurry family portrait. A product shot with the wrong background. A headshot taken on an iPhone that needed to look professional.

The solutions? Either pay a designer $50+ per image, or spend hours learning Photoshop, Lightroom, and a dozen AI tools—each with their own subscriptions, settings, and learning curves. For most people, the photos just stayed broken.

That frustrated me. Not everyone has time to become a photo editing expert. Not everyone can afford a designer for every image. But everyone deserves photos they're proud of.

So I taught myself to code. Nights and weekends, I built PhotoRefix—a tool that does one thing really well: fixes your photos in one click.

No complicated settings. No learning curve. No subscriptions to five different apps. Just upload your photo, pick what you want to fix, and download the result. That's it.

"I built this for regular people—not photo editors."

It's just me running this—no big team, no corporate backing. Just one person who believes that professional-quality photo editing shouldn't require a professional.
