## About

SnapRenew is an AI photo studio for iOS. It restores old photos, removes backgrounds, upscales to HD, applies creative styles, or edits an image from a plain-text description, picking from more than 25 AI models.

The interesting part sits behind the app. A gateway fans work out across several AI providers, so a model can be swapped or a provider can fail without the app noticing.
