POINT 1
Your files never leave your PC
The AI runs entirely on your computer. Family photos, client files and confidential documents can be enhanced without ever being uploaded.
Local AI enhancer — no uploads
Enhance your photos with AI —
without uploading them anywhere.
Color Survey upscales, denoises, restores and colorizes your photos, videos and PDFs.
All AI processing runs on your own PC. Your photos and documents are never sent to an external server.
- 100% local — no uploads
- One-time purchase from $49
- Works with video & PDF
- Free trial
Before you upload your photos to an AI chatbot…
- Every photo you send is uploaded to the AI provider's servers
- Pictures of your kids or the inside of your home end up on someone else's computers
- Company policy may forbid uploading work documents to outside services
- Monthly subscriptions and usage caps add up
- You have to prompt one image at a time — and long videos or multi-page PDFs are a struggle
With Color Survey, everything stays on your PC.
Color Survey vs. AI chatbots
Both can make your images look better with AI. The difference is where your data is processed.
| Color Survey | AI chatbots & online AI services | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it's processed | On your own PC | On the provider's servers |
| Uploading files | Nothing leaves your computer | Files must be uploaded over the internet |
| Pricing | One-time purchase | Often monthly or usage-based plans |
| How you use it | Open a file and click | Describe each edit in a prompt |
| Video & PDF | Videos and multi-page PDFs, processed as they are | Not supported by some services |
| At work | Enhance confidential files without them leaving your desk | May be restricted by company policy |
* Descriptions of AI chatbots and online AI services reflect general trends and vary by service.

Why local processing matters
AI chatbots and online image enhancers have made it easy to improve a photo — but to use them, your images have to be uploaded to the provider’s servers. How that data is stored and used depends on each service’s terms.
Family photos, pictures of your children, client files, confidential documents: if you’d rather not hand any of these to a third party, Color Survey is built for you. All AI processing happens on your own PC, so your files never leave your hands.
How AI upscaling works
When you enlarge an image the traditional way, the software has to guess the missing detail from neighboring pixels — which is why the result looks blurry. Color Survey’s AI recognizes what it’s looking at, like hair, skin or text, and reconstructs fine detail accordingly. Because upscaling and noise reduction happen at the same time, you get a sharper image without amplifying grain.
Not just photos — video and PDF too
Color Survey also handles video enhancement and scanned PDF enhancement. Process home-video footage and multi-page PDFs locally, without prompting an AI image by image.
