How to restore an old photo
- 01
Scan or photograph it
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the print as a JPEG, PNG or WebP. Shoot it flat, in even light, without glare.
- 02
Choose colour and add a note
Keep Colorize on to turn black and white into natural colour, or switch it off to keep it monochrome. Add a note if you want more, such as a landscape crop.
- 03
Restore, then upscale
The photo is repaired in seconds. Compare it with the original, then upscale it to 4K for printing or download it as it is.

Photo restoration questions
What does restoration fix?
Scratches, cracks, tears, creases, stains, dust, blur and fading. Faces are sharpened and missing detail is recovered.
How much does it cost?
Each restoration uses 20 credits. If something goes wrong, the credits are refunded automatically.
Will it change how people look?
It is told to keep each person’s identity, features, expression and age. Because restoration rebuilds missing detail, always compare the result with the original, and run it again if something looks wrong.
Can I keep the photo black and white?
Yes. Switch off Colorize before restoring and the photo keeps its original black-and-white or sepia look.
Can I ask for other changes?
Yes. Add a short note such as “make it landscape”, “fix the eyes” or “remove the stain on the left” and it is applied during the restoration.
What resolution is the result?
About 1 megapixel, which suits screens and sharing. For printing, use Upscale to 4K on the restored photo in one tap.
