AI-powered restoration

The tool uses AI to analyze damage patterns, enhance faces, correct faded colors, and sharpen blurry details. Results are ready in seconds with no manual editing.

Remove scratches and damage

Toggle the scratch removal option to detect and repair scratches, creases, tears, and surface damage on old photographs. The AI fills in missing areas with realistic detail.

Restore multiple old photos at once. Upload an entire album of damaged images, apply the same restoration settings, and download each restored photo individually.

How AI photo restoration works

Photo restoration uses AI to repair old, damaged, or faded photographs. The AI scans your image pixel by pixel, identifies areas of damage such as scratches, tears, noise, and color fading, then reconstructs the missing or degraded details. Faces receive special attention with dedicated face enhancement that sharpens eyes, skin texture, and facial features.

The photo restoration tool offers a scratch removal toggle. Enable it for images with visible scratches, creases, or surface marks. The AI detects these imperfections and fills them with realistic detail that matches the surrounding areas. For photos without physical damage that are simply faded or blurry, leave scratch removal off for a cleaner result focused on color correction and sharpening.
