What kind of damage can it fix?

Scratches, dust, small tears, stains, fading and blur. Heavily missing areas are reconstructed by the AI, so check faces and details carefully.

How accurate are the colors?

The AI picks realistic, natural colors, but it can't know the original ones. Results are a plausible interpretation, not a historical record.

Are my photos private?

Your uploads are only used to create your result. Uploaded originals are deleted from the processing service within 24 hours.

How should I scan my photo?

Scan at 600 dpi or higher if you can. With a phone, shoot in even daylight, hold the camera parallel to the print and avoid glare.

Can it restore photos with several people?

Yes. Group photos work, but very small faces have less detail to work with, so check each face in the result.

Should I use this or the AI Photo Colorizer?

Use this tool for damaged photos: it repairs scratches, tears and fading, and can add color too. If the photo is in good condition and only needs color, the AI Photo Colorizer is the simpler choice.

Bring old family photos back to life

Old prints fade, crack and collect scratches, and a careful manual restoration can take hours. Scan the photo or take a sharp picture of it with your phone, upload it, and the AI removes scratches, dust, stains and small tears, fixes fading and sharpens faces. You can keep the original black and white, add natural color, or do both in one step. The tool is told to preserve every person's features, so the restored photo still looks like the people you remember. It is a quick way to save family albums, wedding photos and portraits before they fade further.
