Old Photo Restoration

Our AI restoration can fix scratches, tears, fading, discoloration, water damage, and general degradation from age. It works best on scanned photos where the damage is primarily surface-level. Deep physical damage like missing portions may have limited recovery.

The AI analyzes the content of your black-and-white photo — recognizing faces, landscapes, clothing, and other elements — then applies realistic, historically-informed colors. It uses contextual clues like skin tones, sky, and vegetation to produce natural-looking results.

Yes! Select the "Restore + Colorize" mode to first repair damage and enhance clarity, then automatically add color to the restored result. This gives the best outcome for old, damaged black-and-white photos.

We accept JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 10 MB. For best results, scan your old photos at 300 DPI or higher. The AI works better with higher-resolution scans since it has more detail to work with.

AI colorization produces realistic and visually pleasing results, but it is an artistic interpretation rather than a perfect recreation. Colors for well-known subjects (skin, sky, grass) are generally very accurate, while specific details like clothing colors are best-guess approximations.
