How it works

Upload your damaged photo

Drag and drop the damaged photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. If fixing a physical print, scan it at 600 DPI or higher — better resolution means better repair quality.

Expect: Scratches and stains: 25-35 seconds. Tears, missing sections, and water damage: 40-55 seconds.
Describe the damage to fix

Type what needs fixing: 'fix this damaged photo — remove the scratches across the center and repair the torn corner.' Name the damage type for best results. The AI understands everyday language — no technical terms needed.

Tip: Be specific about location: 'the stain in the upper-left corner' or 'horizontal scratches through the sky area' helps the AI target the right spot.

Quick answers

Is it really free to fix damaged photos online?

Yes. EditThisPic gives you one free Fast edit per week with no account required. That's enough for a single damaged photo repair session. Credit packs are available for high-volume work.

What kinds of photo damage can the AI fix?

The AI repairs scratches, stains, water damage, tears, creases, mold spots, foxing, yellowing, and fading. It can also reconstruct small missing sections. Very large missing areas (more than 30% of the image) may produce imperfect results.

How do I get the best results when fixing a damaged photo?

Scan physical prints at 600 DPI minimum.

Do I need to create an account to fix a damaged photo?

No account, no signup, no credit card. Just open EditThisPic, upload your photo, describe the damage, and download the fixed result.

Will there be a watermark on my fixed photo?

No. EditThisPic never adds watermarks — not on free edits, not ever. The downloaded photo is clean and ready to print or share.

Can the AI fix a photo that has been damaged by water?

Yes. Water damage typically causes stains, color bleeding, and blotching.

Does this work on digital photos or only old scanned prints?

Both. The tool repairs scanned prints and digital photos with damage from editing errors, compression artifacts, or corrupt files. Describe whatever you see: the AI adapts to the damage type.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. EditThisPic runs fully in your mobile browser. Upload a scanned photo from your camera roll or use the iOS app. No app download required for browser use.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 20 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
