Why Choose Our Service?
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.

Get Started NowFrequently Asked Questions
How badly damaged can the photo be?
Our AI handles mild to moderate damage well — scratches, fading, yellowing, blur, stains, creases, and small tears. For severe damage (large missing sections, heavily burned photos), results will be limited. If you can still see the subject, it's worth trying.
Will it fix a really blurry old photo?
Yes, significantly. The AI sharpens detail and recovers facial features from blur. Very heavy blur (where you can't identify the subject at all) has limited improvement, but most old photos see dramatic sharpness improvement.
Can I fix a photo I photographed with my phone?
Absolutely. Photograph the old print with good lighting (avoid glare and shadows), and our AI will fix both the original damage and any artifacts from the phone camera. Scanning produces better results, but phone photos work well.
Is the restoration permanent?
Your original file is never modified — we create a new, restored copy. Save the restored version and you have a permanent digital archive. We recommend also keeping the original scan for reference.
Can I also enlarge the fixed photo?
Yes! Fix the damage first with our restorer, then use the Image Upscaler to enlarge 2x-4x. This restore-then-upscale workflow is perfect for old photos that are both damaged and small.
How does this compare to professional photo restoration?
Professional retouchers charge $50-200+ per photo and take days. Our AI produces comparable results for $0.20 in 15 seconds. For extremely complex restorations (face reconstruction from severe damage), a professional may still be better.
Will the colors look natural after restoration?
Yes — the AI is trained on how photos actually degrade over time (UV fading, dye instability, yellowing). It restores natural color balance without oversaturation or artificial tones.
Can I fix black-and-white photos?
Yes! AI repair fixes damage in B&W photos — scratches, stains, blur — while preserving the monochrome tonal range. Note: this tool repairs damage, it does not colorize B&W photos.

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.
