Restore an old photo in three steps
Restoring an old photo takes three steps and no editing skills — you upload it, the AI repairs the damage, and you download the result.

The restoration is preset — there's no prompt to write. The AI removes damage, sharpens faces, corrects fading and adds natural color where it's missing.
3. Download your photo
In a few seconds your repaired photo is ready to download — watermark-free and ready to print, share or keep for the family archive.

Old photo restoration FAQ
Everything you need to know about restoring your photos.
How do I restore an old photo?
Upload the photo you want to fix and click Restore — that's it. You don't need to write a prompt or adjust any settings; the restoration is already set up. In a few seconds the AI removes damage, sharpens the image, corrects fading and adds natural color where it's missing, and you can download the result.
Can it repair scratches, tears and creases?
Yes. The AI detects scratches, dust, creases, tears and missing areas, then reconstructs the damaged regions to match the surrounding texture, lighting and detail so the repair looks seamless.
Can it colorize black-and-white photos?
Yes. If your photo is black-and-white, the AI adds natural, realistic color to skin, clothing, backgrounds and surroundings. Colorization is an artistic estimate, not a record of the original colors, but it produces believable, lifelike results.
Will it keep faces looking like the real person?
Yes. Restoration sharpens and cleans up faces while preserving identity, so your subject stays recognizable rather than being replaced with an AI-generated face.
What kind of photo should I upload?
A clear scan or a well-lit phone photo of the print works best. Lay the photo flat, avoid glare and shadows, and capture as much detail as you can — the more the AI can see, the better the repair.
Is old photo restoration free?
You can start free with credits added to your account when you sign up. Each restoration uses credits, and you can buy more anytime — there's no subscription required to try it.See pricing & credits
Is there a watermark on the result?
No. Restored photos download without a watermark, in full quality, ready to print, share or store in your family archive.
Are my uploaded photos kept private?
Your photos are used only to generate your restored result and are not shared or sold. See our privacy policy for full details on how uploads are handled.Read our Privacy Policy
Which AI can restore old photos best?
For scratch repair, face sharpening and colorization in one pass, a dedicated restorer like this one does the whole job — general chat tools can restore photos too, but they tend to alter faces more noticeably. The practical test: run your damaged photo here on the free signup credits and judge the result against any other tool side by side.
