New 5iveHead Live is now in preview. Be your best portrait on every call
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.

Archive & Heritage is in preview for institutions. Please process only material that is in the public domain or that you hold the rights to. Contact sales

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 Processing runs on your own machines, so unpublished material stays within your institution.
