Repair scratches, fix fading, sharpen faces, and gently recover color — while keeping the era's natural film look. No plastic-skin uncanny-valley pass.
The face restoration tool sharpens eyes and lips without inventing new bone structure — relatives stay recognizable.
Tell it "1960s Kodachrome" or "sepia" and the color stays period-appropriate instead of looking like an Instagram preset.
Erase creases, dust, and torn edges via image-edit, then upscale lossless to 4K for printing.
Each tool is one step. Restore, color, upscale — you can stop at any stage and keep the look you like.
Restoration uses image-to-image. Upload the old photo, then send one of these as the prompt.
restore faded 1960s family photo, fix scratches and dust, sharpen faces gently, natural Kodachrome color, keep original grain, no plastic skin
restore black and white studio portrait, repair creases and edge tears, sharpen eyes and lips, keep high-contrast film look, no colorization
colorize black and white photo from 1955, period-correct palette, muted earth tones, natural skin, keep original lighting and grain, no oversaturation
repair water-damaged photo, remove staining and warping, recover faces and clothing texture, gentle color recovery, keep era-appropriate film grain
Always include "keep original grain" or "keep film look" — without it, AI restoration plastic-skins everyone.
Restore first, colorize second, upscale third. One pass at a time keeps each step controllable.
Tell the model the era ("1960s", "1980s instant photo", "WWII-era") so the color it picks is plausible.
Faces only mildly damaged? Skip /image-templates?templateId=face-restoration and just upscale — face restoration is for serious blur or tear.
Print at 300 DPI from a 4K upscale. Anything less will print soft on photo paper.
Upload a photo and you'll see the difference in under a minute.
