Archive & Heritage
Bring historical collections into line with contemporary presentation standards.
Museums, libraries and archives hold millions of portraits made before any standard existed. 5iveHead processes digitised collections in bulk, keeps every original untouched, and writes a full provenance record for each derivative.

Drop digitised portraits here
Scans, photographs and plates. JPEG, PNG or WebP. Files never leave your device.
Built for the way collections work
Every step is documented, repeatable and reversible.
Originals are never altered
Processing produces a separate derivative. The original file is read, never written, and its checksum is recorded.
A record for every image
Reference number, title, date, rights status, engine version, level and SHA-256 checksums of both files, exported as JSON or CSV.
Works at collection scale
Drop a whole folder. Processing runs on your own machines, so unpublished material stays within your institution.
