How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear photo of the damaged or aged object. Photos taken in good lighting where the damage is clearly visible produce the best results. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB all work well.

    Expect: Simple surface scratches or fading: 30-45 seconds. Complex multi-area damage or detailed antiques: 45-75 seconds and may need a second pass.
  2. Describe what you want restored

    Type exactly what damage you want repaired: 'remove the deep scratches on the wooden surface' or 'restore the faded gold paint on this picture frame' or 'fix the chipped enamel on this vintage clock.' Be specific about the material and type of damage. No marking required β€” the AI understands 'scratches on the table' without you needing to circle anything.

    Tip: Name the material and the damage type together: 'scratched mahogany veneer' or 'faded lacquer on ceramic.' This pairing gives the AI precise restoration guidance.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Scratched wooden furniture remove the scratches and surface damage from the wooden furniture and restore the original smooth finish
    Faded paint on antique item restore the faded paint on this antique item to look vibrant and evenly colored as it would have originally appeared
    Chipped or cracked ceramic repair the chips and cracks in the ceramic surface and restore it to a smooth, undamaged finish matching the surrounding glaze
    Worn leather on a bag or chair restore the worn and cracked leather to look supple and evenly toned, removing scuff marks and color loss
    6 more prompts
    Rusted metal object remove the rust and corrosion from the metal surface and restore it to its original clean, solid color
    Peeling or flaking paint restore the peeling and flaking paint on this item so the surface looks fully intact and evenly coated
    Faded gold or silver detailing restore the faded gold detailing on this decorative object to look rich and lustrous as it would when new
    Water-damaged or stained surface remove the water stains and discoloration from this surface and restore it to a clean, uniform appearance
    Vintage toy or collectible restore this vintage toy to look clean and well-preserved, removing dirt, scratches, and color fading
    Aged book cover or artwork frame restore the worn and aged surface of this frame, removing discoloration and surface scratches while preserving the original style
  3. Review the restoration

    Check that the restored area blends naturally with the surrounding surface. For scratched wood, look for consistent grain direction. For faded paint or enamel, check that color uniformity holds across the whole object. Zoom in on edges where the restoration meets undamaged areas.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If one specific scratch or chip still looks off while the rest looks great, tap a marker on that spot and regenerate with a targeted instruction like 'smooth this crack.' Most restorations work in a single pass without markers.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only β€” use them to target a single stubborn area after the overall restoration looks good.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area or object you meant from the description alone, especially when multiple damaged items appear in the frame.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific object or area you want restored, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS specific area.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous, especially if there are multiple objects in the photo.

Restored area doesn't match the surrounding texture

Why: The AI repaired the damage but used a slightly different texture pattern than the intact surface nearby.

Try: restore this area to match the texture and finish of the surrounding undamaged surface exactly

Tip: Adding 'match the surrounding surface exactly' gives the AI an explicit blending instruction.

Color is slightly off after restoration

Why: The AI estimated the original color from context but the fading or damage was severe enough that the estimate drifted.

Try: Adjust the restored color to match [describe specific color β€” 'deep walnut brown' or 'matte ivory'] across the entire object surface

Tip: Name the color explicitly if you know it β€” 'dark cherry red' is more useful to the AI than 'original color.'

Deep scratches are reduced but still slightly visible

Why: Very deep scratches or gouges sometimes require a second targeted pass to fully eliminate.

Try: Tap markers on the remaining scratch lines and regenerate: remove these remaining surface scratches completely

Tip: One pass handles most damage; a second targeted pass with markers cleans up anything that remains.

Result looks over-restored β€” too new or artificial

Why: The AI defaulted to a 'perfectly new' finish when you wanted a 'well-preserved antique' look.

Try: restore this object to look clean and well-preserved while keeping its antique character β€” do not make it look brand new

Tip: For antiques and vintage items, always add 'while preserving its aged character' or 'do not make it look brand new.'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the damaged area before describing what I want restored?

No! Just describe the damage and what you want fixed: 'remove the scratches from the wooden surface' or 'restore the faded enamel on this clock.' The AI understands what scratches, chips, fading, and worn surfaces look like without you needing to circle or select anything. Only use markers if multiple objects appear in the photo and you want to target just one specific item.

How do I restore a damaged object in a photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and describe the damage: 'remove the scratches from the wooden furniture' or 'restore the faded paint on this antique.' The AI repairs the object in 30-60 seconds. Free to try with no account required and no watermarks on your result.

Is there a free AI tool to restore objects that doesn't require login?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe what needs restoring, and download the result. No signup, no watermarks, no Photoshop skills required.

What kinds of objects can the AI restore?

The AI handles a wide range: scratched wood furniture, faded or chipped paint, worn leather goods, rusted metal surfaces, cracked ceramics, water-stained textiles, aged book covers, faded picture frames, vintage toys, and antique decorative items. If you can photograph the damage clearly, the AI can attempt the restoration.

Can it restore antiques without making them look too new?

Yes β€” just tell it to. Add 'while preserving its antique character' or 'do not make it look brand new' to your prompt. This instructs the AI to clean up damage without over-restoring the piece into a modern-looking finish. Antique dealers and collectors commonly use this approach for documentation photos.

How is this different from AI photo restoration?

Photo restoration focuses on repairing the photograph itself β€” faded film, torn prints, dust and scan artifacts. Object restoration is about repairing objects within the photo β€” furniture scratches, chipped enamel, worn leather, rusted metal. If you want to restore a faded old print, use the AI Photo Restorer. If you want to restore an object that appears in a photo, use this tool.

What's the best way to describe the damage for accurate results?

Name the material and the damage type together: 'scratched mahogany veneer,' 'faded lacquer on ceramic,' 'cracked leather on the bag handles.' Then state the desired outcome: 'restore to original smooth finish' or 'vibrant and evenly colored.' The more specific you are about both the before and the after, the better the result.

Can I restore multiple damaged areas in one prompt?

Yes. List everything in one instruction: 'remove the scratches on the tabletop, restore the faded paint on the legs, and repair the chipped corner.' The AI will attempt all of them in a single pass. If any specific area still needs work after that, use a marker on that spot and run a targeted refinement.

Will the restored object look realistic enough to use in a listing or portfolio?

For most objects with surface damage like scratches, fading, and scuffing, yes β€” the results are realistic enough for product listings, estate sale documentation, and portfolio shots. For severely damaged items or intricate restoration work (like cracked gilding on an oil painting frame), results vary and the tool works best as a first pass before manual refinement.

How do I restore a scratched wooden table in a photo?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type: 'remove the scratches and surface damage from the wooden table and restore the original smooth finish.' The AI will repair the visible scratches in 30-45 seconds. For deep gouges, you may want to run a second pass targeting the remaining marks with a marker.

Does it work on photos taken with a phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser on iPhone or Android β€” no app download needed. Phone photos of objects work well as long as the lighting is decent and the damage is clearly visible. Avoid very dark or blurry photos for best results.

Can the AI restore objects in old printed photographs?

Yes, but there are two different use cases here. If the printed photograph itself is damaged (torn, faded film grain), use the AI Photo Restorer. If the photograph shows an object that looks damaged (furniture, jewelry, a vehicle), you can use this Object Restorer to repair how that object looks within the scene.
