How it works

Scan and upload your torn photo

Piece the torn halves together flat and scan at 600 DPI or higher. Alternatively, photograph the reassembled photo under even lighting. Drop the image into EditThisPic — JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Small tears and creases: 25-35 seconds. Large tears or missing sections: 40-60 seconds.
Describe the tear location and type

Type the repair instruction: 'repair this torn photo online free — seamlessly fix the horizontal tear across the middle.' Describe the tear direction, location, and whether there is a missing section. Specific descriptions give the AI a precise repair target.

Tip: Mention tear direction and location: 'diagonal tear from upper-left to lower-right' or 'tear across the bottom third' helps the AI follow the damage line accurately.

Quick answers

Is torn photo repair free on EditThisPic?

Yes. One free Fast edit per week — no signup or credit card needed. Upload your torn photo, describe the tear, and download the repaired result with no watermark.

Can the AI repair a photo that was torn in half?

Yes. Scan or photograph both pieces reassembled flat, then upload the combined scan. Type: 'repair this torn photo — seamlessly join the two halves along the central tear and remove any visible seam.' Best results come from tight, well-aligned physical reassembly before scanning.

What if a piece of the photo is completely missing?

The AI can reconstruct missing sections by generating plausible content that matches the surrounding image. Simple backgrounds (sky, walls, grass) reconstruct convincingly. Complex subjects — like a missing face — may not match the original person and may need a second refinement pass.

Should I scan or photograph the torn photo?

Scanning is strongly preferred — flat bed scanners produce uniform lighting without shadows that can confuse tear detection. If you only have a phone camera, photograph under even overhead lighting with the pieces laid flat on a contrasting surface.

What resolution should I scan at?

600 DPI minimum for standard prints. 1200 DPI for small prints like wallet photos. Higher resolution gives the AI more original detail to reconstruct from.

Will there be a watermark on the repaired photo?

No. EditThisPic never adds watermarks on repaired photos, even on the free weekly edit.

Can this repair creases as well as tears?

Yes. Use: 'repair this torn photo — fix the tear and remove all creasing and fold marks across the surface.' The AI handles both physical damage types in one pass.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. EditThisPic works fully in your mobile browser and has an iOS app. Upload a scan from your camera roll directly.

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.
