How it works

Upload your water damaged photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Scan or photograph the damaged print even if it's warped or wrinkled. The AI can work with photos that are still wet or have dried with water stains. Higher resolution scans capture more detail for better reconstruction.

Expect: Light water stains: 30-40 seconds. Severe flooding damage with multiple issues (stains, warping, fading): may need 3-4 refinements addressing different damage types.
Describe the water damage

Type your instruction: 'fix water damage and restore photo' or 'remove water stains and repair moisture damage.' Be specific about damage types—brown water stains, purple discoloration, warping lines, or faded areas. No marking needed—the AI detects water damage patterns automatically and repairs by learning from undamaged sections of the photo.

Tip: Water damage usually creates multiple issues at once. Start with 'fix all water damage' then refine specific problems if needed in a second pass.

Generate and review

Click Generate and watch the AI analyze the damage. It identifies water stain patterns and discoloration, detects warping effects and distortion, removes moisture-related spots and marks, restores original colors from undamaged areas, and blends repairs seamlessly. Zoom in to verify all water damage is gone.
Address complex damage in stages

Water damage often causes overlapping problems—stains, warping, tears, and fading together. Work in stages: first pass fixes major stains and discoloration, second pass handles warping and distortion, third pass cleans up remaining artifacts.

Tip: Severely damaged photos may need 4-5 passes. Don't try to fix everything at once—better results come from targeting one type of damage per pass.
Download and preserve

Once repairs look natural, download your restored photo at full resolution. Back up the digital copy immediately—water damaged originals continue to deteriorate even after drying. This may be your last chance to preserve these memories.

If something looks off

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.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Some water damage remains after first attempt

Why: Water damage is often complex with overlapping issues. The AI may fix stains but miss warping, or vice versa.

Try: Work in stages: First 'remove water stains and discoloration,' then second pass 'fix remaining warping and distortion'

Try This →

Tip: Severe water damage needs multiple passes targeting different damage types. Don't try to fix everything at once.

Repaired areas look too smooth or lack texture

Why: The AI filled damaged areas but didn't reconstruct the photo grain or texture that was underneath the water damage.

Try: Try: 'fix water damage while preserving or restoring original photo grain and texture'

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning 'grain' and 'texture' helps the AI maintain photographic quality when removing damage.

Colors in restored areas don't match the original photo

Why: Water damage can fade colors unevenly, making it hard for the AI to determine what the original colors were.

Try: Use: 'restore water damaged areas by sampling colors from the least damaged parts of the photo'

Try This →

Tip: If entire photo is discolored, the AI may not have good reference. You might need a second pass with color enhancement.

Warping is fixed but photo still looks distorted

Why: Physical warping creates both geometric distortion (fixed) and perspective issues (harder to fix automatically).

Try: After fixing warping, try: 'correct remaining perspective distortion to restore natural photo geometry'

Try This →

Tip: Severe warping may need 2 passes—first for basic straightening, second for fine geometric correction.

Purple discoloration not fully removed

Why: Purple moisture stains can be subtle and blend with actual photo content, making them hard for the AI to distinguish.

Try: Be explicit: 'remove all purple and magenta tinting from moisture damage, restore neutral photo tones'

Try This →

Tip: Describing the purple tone specifically ('purple tinting' or 'magenta discoloration') helps the AI target it.

Lost detail in heavily damaged areas

Why: Severe water damage can completely destroy photo information. The AI can't recreate details that are completely gone.

Try: Try: 'reconstruct water damaged areas based on similar patterns from undamaged parts of the photo'

Try This →

Tip: The AI can make educated guesses but can't magically restore completely destroyed information. Results depend on how much reference remains.

White spots or artifacts after repair

Why: The AI may have over-corrected some areas or created artifacts while blending repairs.

Try: Mark artifact areas and use: 'blend these marked areas smoothly with surrounding photo, remove white spots'

Try This →

Tip: Minor artifacts can be cleaned up in a refinement pass focusing just on those specific areas.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark water damage before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'fix all water damage' or 'remove water stains and restore photo.' The AI detects water damage patterns—stains, discoloration, warping—automatically. Only use markers if you have multiple types of damage and want to fix specific areas first, or if some damage was missed.

How do I fix water damaged photos for free?

Upload your water damaged photo to EditThisPic and type 'fix all water damage including stains, discoloration, and warping, restore original photo quality.' The AI detects all types of water damage, removes stains, restores colors in 30-40 seconds. Free to try with no signup, no watermark, and no credit card required.

Is there a free water damage fixer that doesn't require login?

Yes. EditThisPic repairs water damaged photos without requiring an account. Just upload your damaged photo, describe the water damage, and download the restored result. No email, no signup, completely free for your first edit.

Can this fix photos that were completely soaked?

Yes, even severely water damaged photos can be repaired. However, flooding damage usually needs 3-4 editing passes—first for major stains, second for warping, third for color restoration, fourth for fine details. Work in stages for best results on severe damage.

Should I scan water damaged photos even if they're still wet?

Let photos air dry completely first. Scanning wet photos can damage your scanner and the photo itself. Once dry, scan at highest resolution possible (300+ DPI) to capture all remaining detail. The AI works better with high-resolution scans that show damage clearly.

What causes the purple color in water damaged photos?

Purple or magenta discoloration comes from moisture reacting with photo chemicals, particularly in older color prints. It's common in flood-damaged photos. The AI can remove these purple tones by analyzing undamaged areas to determine what the original colors should be.
