Bring old photos back with AI. Repair scratches and tears, recover faded color and sharpen faces.

What a restoration puts right

Damage to the paper

Scratches across a sky, a crease down the middle from a wallet, torn corners, stuck-on dust. What the damage covers is rebuilt from what surrounds it.

Colour that has drifted

Prints from the seventies go magenta, prints from the nineties go flat. The cast is reversed and contrast comes back without repainting the photo in modern colours.

Keep the original

A restoration reconstructs what the print no longer holds, so the file you get is an interpretation. Archive the scan, and treat the result as the version for showing people.

How to Use AI Photo Restoration

1
Photograph or scan the print

A phone shot in even daylight works — lay the print flat, avoid glare, fill the frame. Then drop the file above

2
Choose the restoration type

Scratches, faded colour, grain, JPEG artefacts — or Auto to let the model find what is wrong, and Full restoration when the print has had everything over fifty years

3
Click "Restore photo"

The repaired version comes back in a few seconds. Keep the original file: restoration rebuilds detail rather than uncovering it

Use this tool via API

Call this tool straight from your own scripts. The endpoint follows the OpenAI REST format and signs requests with a bearer token, so client libraries you already use keep working. You are billed the same token rate as the web app.

AI Photo Restoration FAQ

Use this one for the whole print: scratches across the sky, torn corners, colour that has drifted magenta, spotting and grain over the entire frame. Use face restoration when the damage that matters is in the face itself — a portrait too blurred or too small to make out — because it rebuilds facial detail specifically and leaves the rest alone. For a family photo that is both damaged AND has an unreadable face, run this page first and then that one on the result.
