AI photo restoration FAQ
Is AI photo restoration free?+
Yes. You get free credits every day to restore and enhance photos — no credit card required to start. Paid plans add faster processing, higher resolution and remove the watermark.
Will it keep the real faces in the photo?+
That's the goal. Upload a clear scan and turn on Keep this character so the AI preserves the original likeness while it repairs damage. For very degraded photos, generate a couple of versions and pick the most faithful one.
What kinds of damage can it handle?+
It works best on common issues — scratches, creases, dust, fading, yellowing, mild blur and low resolution. Severely destroyed areas are reconstructed by the AI, so results there are an approximation, not the exact original.
What's the best way to get a good result?+
Scan or photograph the original as clearly as you can, in good even light and as high resolution as possible. A cleaner input always restores better.
Can I use the restored photos however I want?+
Yes. You own the images you generate and can print, share and keep them. They're your memories — we just help bring them back.
