Restore an Old Wedding Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload or scan the wedding photo

   Scan the photo if you can, or photograph it flat in even daylight with no glare — JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. A flat, well-lit scan preserves fine detail in dresses, veils, and rings that the AI can use.

   Expect: Fading, scratches, and small stains restore well. Heavier damage over a face or over fine details like lace or jewelry takes more careful review.

   Describe the restoration

   Type what you want: 'fix the fading and scratches, remove the stain near the bottom, keep the couple's faces and the dress detail natural.' Naming who's in the photo helps nothing technically, but naming what to preserve does.

   Tip: If it's for an anniversary gift, mention that you want print-ready quality so the AI's output is treated at full resolution.

   Review closely

   Zoom in on both faces, the dress, and any jewelry or rings. These are the details people notice first in a wedding photo, so check them against the original before you rely on the result.

   Refine with a marker if needed

   If one area — a stain, a scratch across a face, a faded patch on the dress — still needs work, tap a marker on that spot and describe it. Markers are optional and only needed for precision touch-ups.
