AI Photo Restoration — Restore Damaged and Faded Photos Online

Free online photo restoration, no registration: AI repairs scratches, tears, creases and fading and sharpens faces in old photos. First photo free.

What AI Photo Restoration Fixes

  • Scratches and cracks — Thin lines, cracked emulsion and dust spots disappear, and the image underneath is rebuilt.
  • Tears and creases — Folds, torn edges and missing corners are filled in to match the rest of the photo.
  • Fading and yellowing — Contrast and tones come back, and the yellow or brown cast is removed from faded photos.
  • Blurry faces — Eyes, lips and hair get their details back while the expression stays the same.
  • Glare and phone shots — Reflections, table edges and fingers from photographing a print are removed.

How to Restore Old Photos Online

  1. Scan the photo or take a picture of it with your phone in good light, without flash.
  2. Upload it to the photo restoration tool — no registration needed.
  3. If you want, add a wish: colorize the photo or restore a torn corner.
  4. Click "Restore photo" and download the restored picture.

Photo Restoration vs. Photo Enhancement and Colorization

Old photo restoration repairs physical damage: scratches, tears, creases, stains and fading on a print. Photo enhancement works with modern pictures that are simply blurry, dark or low-resolution. Colorization adds natural colors to a black and white photo. This AI photo restoration keeps the original colors, so a black and white photo stays black and white. If you also want a color version, write "colorize" in the wishes field and get both in one step.

Which Old Photos Can Be Restored

  • Family archive photos from the 1900s to the 1990s
  • Torn, folded and water-damaged prints
  • Faded color photos from the 70s to the 90s
  • Portraits of grandparents and relatives for a memorial, a family tree or a photo book
  • Old documents, wedding photos and military portraits

Photo Restoration FAQ

Is photo restoration free?

Yes. New users get starter energy points — no sign-up needed, and enough to restore your first photo.

Can a heavily damaged photo be restored?

Yes, if the faces are at least partly visible. The AI fills in torn and missing parts based on the rest of the photo. The more of the original is preserved, the more accurate the result.

Will the face stay the same?

Yes. The restoration works on your own photo and keeps the features, age and expression of the people in it.

Can I restore and colorize a photo at the same time?

Yes. Write "colorize" in the wishes field and the AI will repair the damage and add natural colors in one step. For colorization only, use the photo colorizer.
