What can Photo Restorer help with?

The tool is designed to reduce scratches, sharpen faded details, and enhance faces in old photographs. The outcome depends on the source image and the treatment you choose.

Can I restore black-and-white and color photos?

Yes. The current tool supports both and offers black-and-white and color style references. Choose a finish that suits the photograph.

Will the result match the original exactly?

AI can reinterpret or invent details, particularly where the source is damaged or unclear. Review the result carefully and preserve the original as your reference.

Can it restore a group photograph?

Results vary. The current tool may not work well with more than two people, so inspect each face before sharing or printing a result.

How is this different from upscaling?

Restoration addresses the appearance of damage and faded details. Photo Upscaler is a separate tool for increasing image size. Choose the tool that fits the change you want.
