Core restoration tools

From damage repair to color, make old photos clear again

Choose Restore or Colorize for the condition of your photo. The workflow focuses on visible damage while keeping the person, clothing and period character easy to compare with the source.

01 · Scratch and damage repair

Remove the marks of time and recover a complete photograph

Reduce scratches, creases, dust, fading and mild blur that interrupt the image, while restoring cleaner layers and recognizable source detail.

  • Reduce scratches, dust and fold marks
  • Improve blur, noise and compression artifacts
  • Preserve the source composition and visible identity

Bring believable natural color to black-and-white photos

Repair visible damage while inferring balanced color for people, clothing and surroundings, without turning the result into an oversaturated filter.

  • Recover natural skin, clothing and background tones
  • Balance white point, highlights and shadows
  • Avoid harsh color blocks and excessive saturation

Clarify eyes, hair and texture without erasing character

Face enhancement recovers facial edges, skin texture, individual hair and clothing detail so the portrait looks clearer without heavy smoothing or plastic skin.

  • Clarify eyes, hair and facial contours
  • Retain wrinkles, pores and natural age detail
  • Keep identity and expression easy to compare

04 · Severe damage repair

Repair heavy damage and recover the detail that remains

Address large stains, missing emulsion, scratches and partial loss by clearing damage that obscures the subject, then rebuilding from the contours and texture still visible.

  • Reduce heavy damage covering the face and clothing
  • Repair broken edges and recover recognizable contours
  • Treat missing detail as an inference and compare it with the source

Examples use different source photographs. Generative restoration infers missing detail, so results vary with source clarity and the severity of damage.
