What Is AI Photo Restoration?

AI photo restoration uses artificial intelligence to repair old, faded, or damaged photos and recover details that have become difficult to see. It can repair scratches, tears, fading, blur, stains, and noise while preserving the original subject and composition.

Instead of manually retouching each damaged area, AI automatically analyzes the whole photo and uses surrounding visual information to restore lost contours, textures, tones, and details.

Key Features of Our AI Photo Restorer

Repair Scratches, Tears & Other Damage

Clean up scratches, cracks, creases, stains, tears, holes, and worn edges in aging photos. Reduce visible damage to make worn or broken areas look more complete again.

Restore Faded Colors & Tones

Correct fading, yellowing, color shifts, and uneven tones. Bring back a more balanced appearance while keeping the original color character.

Recover Clarity & Lost Details

Reduce mild blur, noise, grain, and low contrast. Make faces, clothing, objects, and other parts of the photo clearer and easier to recognize.

Reconstruct Missing Areas Carefully

Rebuild torn, missing, or obscured parts using nearby visual clues. Unclear areas are restored conservatively to avoid adding unsupported details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will AI photo restoration change the person's face?

No intentional face replacement or beautification is applied during restoration. Facial features, expressions, and age characteristics are kept true to the original so the person remains recognizable.

Can severely damaged old photos still be restored?

It depends on how much original information is still visible. Scratches, tears, fading, and partially missing areas can often be repaired, but large missing sections or completely lost facial details may limit how accurately the photo can be restored.

Will AI invent details that are missing from my photo?

Missing or unclear areas are handled conservatively using visual information that remains in the photo. If the source does not provide enough evidence for a detail, the restoration avoids adding unsupported details.

Will black-and-white photos be automatically colorized?

No. Black-and-white or monochrome photos remain that way during restoration. For faded color photos, the tool focuses on recovering the existing color character rather than applying a new color style.

Is AI Photo Restoration free to use?

Yes. Each restoration uses only 1 credit. You can get free credits through sign-up rewards, check-ins, friend invitations, and other available reward activities, so the tool can be used without paying.

Are my uploaded photos private?

Yes. Your photos remain private during restoration and are securely processed. Uploaded images are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
