What it can repair

What can old photo restoration repair?

01

Reduce scratches and dust

Refresh old photographs by reducing surface scratches, dust, mild fold marks, compression artifacts and uneven grain.

02

Make blurry photos clearer

Improve eyes, hair and facial edges while portrait restoration refers closely to visible features in the source photo.

03

Recover black-and-white and faded color

Balance dark areas and color casts so skin, clothing and background tones look more natural. Black-and-white photos can also be colorized.

04

Keep texture easy to inspect

Avoid heavy smoothing and plastic texture so you can compare the face, hands, edges and color with the original.
