How it works

  1. Upload your damaged photo

    Upload the photo that needs restoration. Even low-quality scans work — the AI is designed to handle damaged photo from degraded source material. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Minor damage: 20-30 seconds. Severe water damage or missing sections: may need 2-4 refinements.
  2. Describe the repair you need

    Type your instruction: 'repair all the water damage and stains, restore the photo to its original condition' or 'fix the mold spots and bring back the original colors.' Be specific about the type of damage—water stains, mold, cracks, or missing pieces. No marking needed for overall restoration.

    Tip: Describe the damage type: 'water stains' vs 'mold spots' vs 'cracked emulsion' helps the AI choose the right repair approach.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Water damage with stains repair all the water damage and stains, restore the photo to its original condition with natural colors
    Mold or mildew spots remove all the mold spots and mildew damage, reconstruct the affected areas to match the rest of the photo
    Cracked or peeling emulsion repair the cracked emulsion and peeling areas, smooth out the surface damage while preserving all details
    Torn or missing corners reconstruct the torn corner, extend the background naturally and restore any missing elements
    3 more prompts
    Multiple damage types fully restore this damaged photo, repair water stains, fix discoloration, and remove all deterioration
    Heat or fire damage repair the heat damage and discoloration, restore the natural colors and remove warping artifacts
    Chemical stains remove the chemical stains and restore the original tones, repair any areas where the image has deteriorated
  3. Review the restoration

    Check faces and important details at full zoom. Look for natural skin tones, consistent textures, and proper blending where damage was repaired. Verify no artifacts remain from the original damage.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the damaged areas before describing?

No! For most damage repair, just describe what you want: 'repair the water damage' or 'remove the mold spots.' The AI recognizes common damage patterns.

How much damage can AI actually repair?

The AI handles water stains, mold spots, minor tears, cracks, and discoloration very well. For major missing sections, it can reconstruct plausible content based on context. Faces with severe damage are most challenging—expect good but not perfect results on heavily damaged facial features.

Should I scan or photograph my damaged print?

Scanning at 300-600 DPI gives the best results. If you must photograph, use even lighting without flash, shoot straight on (not at an angle), and ensure the photo is flat. The more detail in your scan, the better the AI can distinguish damage from image content.

Can the AI restore completely missing sections?

Yes, for backgrounds and simple elements. The AI infers what should be there based on surrounding context. Missing sections of faces or unique objects are reconstructed plausibly but may not match the original exactly—there's no way to know what was truly there.

Will the repair look obviously edited?

Well-done repairs blend seamlessly. The AI matches texture, grain, and color of surrounding areas. For best results, mention 'preserve the original grain' and 'blend naturally' in your prompt to ensure authentic-looking restoration.
