Working with your SVG

Fix Any Damage

Scratches, creases, tears, stains, water spots, mold — our AI identifies and repairs all types of physical photo damage, filling in missing areas with realistic detail.

Restore Faded Colors

Decades of light exposure fade photos to yellow or sepia. AI color restoration recovers vibrant, natural colors without oversaturating or creating false tones.

Sharpen Blurry Faces

Old cameras and film grain blur facial details. Our AI face recovery sharpens eyes, smooths noise, and reconstructs features — making people recognizable again.

AI Does the Work

No clone stamping, no healing brush, no hours of manual retouching. Upload, wait 15 seconds, download. Professional-quality restoration with zero effort.

Instant Processing

Most photos fixed in under 15 seconds. Process an entire photo album in an afternoon — what would take a professional retoucher days.

Preserve Family History

Old photos are irreplaceable windows into family history. Fix them now before they degrade further — digital restoration creates a permanent archive.

How to Get the Best Results

1. Scan at High Resolution

Use a flatbed scanner at 300-600 DPI. Higher resolution captures more detail for the AI to work with, producing dramatically better restorations than low-res scans.

2. Scan as PNG or TIFF

Avoid JPEG scanning — it adds compression artifacts that the AI must then fix along with the actual damage. Lossless formats preserve every detail.

3. Fix First, Then Upscale

Repair damage with the restorer first, then upscale with AI to increase resolution. This two-step workflow produces the highest quality results.
