What is AI Photo Restorer?

Years in an album or a shoebox leave their marks: creases, scratches, stains and a picture gone pale. Give the photo restorer a scan of the print, or a picture of it taken with your phone, and it returns a clean copy with the marks gone, the tones deepened again and soft faces a little crisper. You can keep it black and white or have it colored in the same pass.The model is told to leave faces, poses and framing alone, so the result is the same moment in better condition, not a new picture. When a photo is only dull or grainy rather than damaged, the photo enhancer is the lighter fix.

How to use Photo Restorer

Three steps from an idea to a finished result.

11. Make a flat scan of the print, or photograph it in even light
22. Choose whether to keep the original tone or add color
33. Generate, compare with the original, and download

Tips for better results

Take the print out of its frame or sleeve first. Glass and plastic add glare that the model may treat as damage.
Crop away the album page and white border so the model works only on the photo.
If one run misses a scratch, run the restored copy again instead of the original.
Restore before anything else. Then add your own color hints with the image colorizer or make the file bigger with the image upscaler.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before they use Photo Restorer.

1What damage can it fix?

Scratches, dust spots, creases, small tears, stains, faded contrast and soft focus. Missing pieces, such as a torn-off corner, are filled in from the rest of the picture, so look closely at those parts.

2Will people still look like themselves?

The instructions sent with your photo ask the model to leave faces, expressions and poses alone, and Nano Banana is made to keep faces steady. A face that is badly damaged can still come back slightly different, so compare the result with the original and run it again if something is off.

3Should I scan the print or photograph it?

A flatbed scan is best. A phone picture also works when the print lies flat in even light and the phone is held parallel to it, so nothing reflects and the corners stay square.

4Can it add color too?

Yes. Choose the color option and the model adds natural colors in the same run. To set particular colors, such as a dress you remember, restore here first and then use the image colorizer with color hints.

5How much does a restoration cost?

One image on the model you pick, which is 60 credits on Nano Banana, the default. The Generate button shows the credits before you start, and a failed run is refunded automatically.

6Who can see my family photos?

Uploads are stored in your account and sent only to the model that runs the restoration and to our safety check. Nothing is shown publicly unless you choose to share it.
