You are correct. A governor or the president can issue a pardon. I think there is also some way to get civil rights restored without a pardon, based on things I’ve seen. Executive clemency can get you out of jail early.

One minor comment – it is technically possible for a felony conviction to go away, if you can get a pardon. As an example, Patricia Hearst, convicted of bank robbery, was pardoned by President Bill Clinton, an act which erased her criminal record and restored her civil rights.

But despite this legal change, the image of Hearst holding a gun during a bank robbery is something that will not go away.
