How it works

  1. Upload your torn photo

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

    Expect: Small corner tears: 20-30 seconds. Major tears or missing sections: may need 3-4 refinements for best results.

  2. Describe the repair you need

    Type your instruction: 'repair the tear and restore the photo' or 'reconstruct the missing corner and fix the rip.' Describe what was torn if you know—'repair the tear through the face' or 'restore the missing background.' No marking needed for visible tears.

    Tip: If you know what was in the missing section, mention it: 'the torn area should show continuation of the garden background' helps the AI reconstruct accurately.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Try This →
    Old photo with creases and tears repair all the tears and creases, smooth out the fold lines and restore the damaged sections
    Try This →

  3. Review the reconstruction

    Check the repaired area for seamless blending. Look for consistent lighting, matching colors, and natural continuation of patterns. If faces were torn, verify the reconstruction looks natural.

  4. Refine the repair if needed

    If the reconstruction doesn't look right or edges are visible, tap markers on specific areas and regenerate with guidance. For torn faces, provide details about what should be there. Most repairs work well on the first try.

    Tip: For photos torn in half, do the basic repair first, then refine the seam area specifically with markers.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI torn photo — bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying torn photo to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using torn photo on scanned prints to get crisp digital versions

Best Practices

  • Scan old photos at the highest DPI your scanner supports before uploading for best results
  • Describe the specific issue — 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better torn photo than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
📷

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with torn photo.

Common Scenarios

  • Using torn photo on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying torn photo to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with torn photo for an online store or catalog

Best Practices

  • Process all images in a batch with the same enhancement settings for visual consistency
  • For web use, balance enhancement quality with file size — overly large images slow page loads
  • Always compare before and after to make sure torn photo looks natural, not over-processed
📷

Social Media & Personal Sharing

Make your personal photos look their best before sharing with friends, family, or followers using torn photo.

Common Scenarios

  • Quickly applying torn photo to vacation photos before posting on social media
  • Using torn photo on a selfie that has great composition but poor lighting
  • Batch-fixing a phone gallery of photos with torn photo before creating an album to share

Best Practices

  • Start with the photo you'd most like to share — fix that one first and use the same approach on the rest
  • For selfies, subtle enhancement always beats heavy processing — keep it natural
  • If the photo was shot in low light, mention it in the prompt so the AI tailors torn photo accordingly

If something looks off

Reconstructed area looks wrong or unrealistic

Why: The AI inferred incorrectly what was in the missing section. Without enough context, reconstructions may not match expectations.

Try: repair the tear, the missing area should contain [describe what you know was there]
Try This →

Tip: Any details about the missing content help: 'should show more of the garden' or 'was a plain wall' guides reconstruction.

Seam line is still visible after repair

Why: Color or lighting differences between sides of the tear weren't fully blended by the AI.

Try: blend the repair seam more naturally, match the colors and lighting on both sides
Try This →

Tip: Tap markers along the visible seam line to show the AI exactly where blending needs improvement.

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

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific tear you want repaired, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS tear specifically.' Use them when there are multiple damaged areas.

Reconstructed face doesn't match the person

Why: Faces require the most context to reconstruct accurately. The AI can only infer based on partial information.

Try: carefully repair the face, make the reconstruction match the visible portions of the person's features
Try This →

Tip: For faces, provide any reference: 'the person has glasses' or 'match the other photos of this person' if applicable.

Photo pieces didn't align properly

Why: When scanning torn pieces together, misalignment can confuse the AI about where the actual tear is.

Try: align and merge these photo fragments, correct any misalignment in the torn pieces
Try This →

Tip: When scanning fragments, try to align them as closely as possible before uploading.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the tear before describing the repair?

No! For obvious tears, just describe what you want: 'repair the tear.' The AI recognizes tear patterns—the edges, color differences, and disruption to image content are distinctive. Only use markers when there are multiple damaged areas and you want to address them one at a time, or when the AI missed part of the damage.

Can AI repair a photo torn into multiple pieces?

Yes! Scan all the pieces together, arranged as closely as possible to their original positions. The AI can identify fragment edges and merge them, filling in any gaps. Works best when pieces are well-aligned and the gap between them is minimal. Large missing sections between fragments will be reconstructed based on context.

What if a face was in the torn-away section?

The AI can reconstruct faces, but results depend on how much information remains. If half a face is missing, expect a plausible but not perfect reconstruction—the AI cannot know exactly what the person looked like. For faces, do basic repair first, then refine with specific guidance about the person if you have that information.

How should I scan torn photo pieces?

Scan all pieces together on one scan, positioned as close to their original arrangement as possible. Keep gaps between pieces minimal. Ensure even lighting without shadows falling between fragments. Higher resolution helps the AI see fine details at tear edges.

Can tears and other damage be fixed at the same time?

Yes! Use a comprehensive prompt like 'repair the tears, remove scratches, and restore faded colors.' The AI handles multiple issues simultaneously. For complex photos with many problems, you might get better results addressing the tear first, then other damage in a second pass.
