AI Photo Restoration for Every Kind of Old Photo

Use AI photo restoration for scratched portraits, faded prints and family archives while keeping people, framing and period detail recognizable.

Repair Scratches, Fading and Photo Damage

AI photo restoration can reduce scratches, fading, dust-like noise, weak contrast and soft edges. Start with the clearest scan you have and keep the untouched original for comparison. Missing faces, text or large torn areas may still be inferred, so treat reconstructed details as estimates.

AI Old Photo Restoration That Preserves Faces

EnhancePhoto aims to preserve identity, expression, clothing and period detail while improving clarity. Check eyes, hairlines, hands and other distinctive features against the source. If a face changes noticeably, use a clearer scan rather than accepting a sharper but less faithful result.

Enhance Old Photos with Natural Color and Clarity

AI photo restoration can improve contrast, reduce color casts and clarify edges without over-sharpening the image. Faded photos can regain clearer separation between skin, clothing and background. Any inferred color is a visual interpretation, so keep the original scan as your reference.

Restore Old Photos Online for Family Archives and Reprints

Restore old photos online for albums, genealogy records, memorial portraits or reprints while keeping the original scan untouched. EnhancePhoto chooses the closest supported aspect ratio instead of forcing every result to 1:1. For larger prints, restore first, verify the content, then use the image upscaler.

AI Photo Restoration FAQ

Practical answers about AI photo restoration quality, supported damage, credits, privacy, mobile use and aspect ratio.

  1. 1

    How do I restore old photos online?

    Upload one clear JPG, PNG or WebP, choose Restore photo, then compare the finished result with the original in Results or History. AI photo restoration works best when the source scan already contains visible facial and edge detail.

  2. 2

    Can AI photo restoration repair scratches and faded areas?

    Yes, AI photo restoration can reduce scratches, dust-like noise, fading, weak contrast and some soft edges. Missing regions may still be inferred rather than recovered exactly, so keep the original scan for comparison.

  3. 3

    Can I restore an old photo online for free?

    Uploading and previewing are free. Real AI photo restoration requires sign-in and the credits shown beside Restore photo; EnhancePhoto does not promise unlimited free generation.

  4. 4

    Will AI photo restoration change the faces in my picture?

    The workflow asks to preserve identity, expression and natural skin texture, but unclear pixels may still be inferred. Check distinctive facial details against the source before using a restored portrait as a final copy.

  5. 5

    How can I improve old photo quality before restoration?

    Use the clearest scan available, keep the print flat and glare-free, preserve the original framing, and avoid repeated sharpening or compression before upload. Better source detail gives AI photo restoration more reliable information to work with.

  6. 6

    Does AI photo restoration colorize black-and-white photos?

    The restoration workflow may infer natural-looking color while repairing a photo, but there is no separate historical-color guarantee. Treat inferred colors as visual interpretation and verify important clothing, uniforms or objects against trusted records.

  7. 7

    Is photo restoration the same as image upscaling?

    No. AI photo restoration addresses scratches, fading, noise and damaged detail; image upscaling increases pixel dimensions. Restore and verify first, then upscale if you need a larger file for print or display.

  8. 8

    Can severely damaged old photos always be restored?

    No. When large areas are missing, AI photo restoration can generate a plausible reconstruction but cannot prove what the original face, text or background looked like. Preserve the source and review reconstructed regions carefully.

  9. 9

    Which image formats are supported?

    The page accepts one JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. Use the original scan when possible instead of a screenshot or repeatedly compressed copy.

  10. 10

    Are uploaded family photos private?

    EnhancePhoto does not publish uploads or results to a public gallery. Signed-in restoration tasks stay in private account History and are handled under the Privacy Policy.

  11. 11

    How many credits does old photo restoration use?

    The current FLUX.2 Klein 4B workflow uses 2 credits for one result. The button shows the live cost before submission, so you can confirm the charge before starting AI photo restoration.

  12. 12

    Can I restore old photos on a phone without installing an app?

    Yes. Open EnhancePhoto in a modern mobile browser, select a supported photo, submit the restoration and follow the task in History. No separate mobile app is required.

  13. 13

    Does AI photo restoration keep the original aspect ratio?

    EnhancePhoto reads the uploaded image shape and chooses the closest aspect ratio supported by the restoration model instead of forcing every photo to 1:1. Common portrait, landscape and square photos therefore remain much closer to the source framing.

  14. 14

    Should I scan an old photo or photograph it with my phone?

    A flat scan is usually the better source because it avoids glare, perspective distortion and uneven lighting. A phone photo can still work when a scanner is unavailable, but keep the camera parallel to the print and use soft, even light.

  15. 15

    What scan resolution is best for AI photo restoration?

    Use the clearest practical scan rather than a heavily compressed copy. For small prints, a 300–600 dpi scan usually preserves enough facial, clothing and edge detail for AI photo restoration to work with more reliable source information.

  16. 16

    Should I crop borders before restoring an old photo?

    Only crop obvious empty scanner margins when they are not part of the original print. Keep meaningful borders, handwritten notes, studio marks and framing until after restoration so you do not remove useful historical context.

  17. 17

    Can I print a restored old photo?

    Yes. First inspect faces, text and background details against the original. If the restoration looks faithful but the file is too small for your target print size, use image upscaling after restoration rather than before it.

  18. 18

    Why should I keep the original scan?

    AI photo restoration may infer pixels where the source is damaged or unclear. Keeping the untouched scan gives you a factual reference for faces, writing, clothing, dates and other details that should not be silently replaced by a generated interpretation.

  19. 19

    What should I check before downloading the restored photo?

    Compare the result with the original at normal size and while zoomed in. Check eyes, mouth shape, hairlines, hands, jewelry, printed text, borders and background objects, then download only when the important details still look consistent.

  20. 20

    Can AI photo restoration fix writing or dates on a photo?

    It may make partially visible marks easier to see, but missing letters and numbers can be guessed incorrectly. Treat reconstructed handwriting, dates, captions and studio marks as uncertain unless you can verify them against the original or another trusted record.
