What AI Photo Restoration Can Fix
Modern AI restoration models are trained to detect and repair a wide range of photo damage types simultaneously, without manual selection.

Getting the Best Restoration Results

Pro Tips for Best Restoration Results
Get the most from AI photo restoration with these professional insights
Start with High-Res Scans
Scan physical photos at 600 DPI or higher. More pixels means the AI has more information to work with when reconstructing damaged areas
Run Multiple Passes
For severely damaged photos, use the restored output as input for a second restoration pass — this progressively improves quality across multiple iterations
Save in PNG Format
Always save your restored photos as PNG to avoid JPEG re-compression artifacts. Lossless PNG preserves all the detail the AI has recovered
