Restore old and damaged photos
Upload a faded, scratched or torn photo and get a repaired, sharpened version that brings the memory back to life.
Old prints fade, crack and yellow over time, and the negatives are usually long gone. Restoring them by hand takes a skilled retoucher hours per image.
The Photo Restore tool repairs scratches, tears and creases, corrects fading and discoloration, and sharpens soft detail — reconstructing the photo while keeping the faces and the moment intact.
Use it on family albums, then pass the result to the Colorize tool to bring black-and-white memories into full color.
