Powerful AI Photo Restoration Features

Subject-aware repair that respects the original

🧠

Subject-Aware Repair

Choose Auto, Portrait, Group, Landscape, Person + Scene or Other - the model adapts its repair strategy to the subject.

🔍

Damage Auto-Detection

Light, Moderate, Severe or Very Severe - pick a level or let Auto assess scratches, tears and fading on its own.

🎨

Color Handling

Keep black & white, natural colorize, restore original colour, or apply a vintage tone - your call per photo.

✨

Gentle Quality Output

Repairs blend into the original so the restored photo still feels like the same moment - not a synthetic replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of photos can I restore?

Portraits, group shots, landscapes and mixed person + scene photos all work. Pick the matching Photo Type, or leave it on Auto. Very small or extremely damaged photos may need stronger damage levels for the best result.

Should I keep the photo black & white or colorize it?

Keep B&W preserves the original tone. Natural Colorize adds plausible colour. Restore Color revives faded colour prints, and Vintage Tone gives a warm retro look. Each option suits a different source and intent.

How long does restoration take?

Most photos finish within 1-3 minutes depending on resolution, damage level and colorization.

Is my photo data safe?

Absolutely. We never store your photos permanently. All data is automatically deleted within 48 hours after processing.
