Can I restore old photos with AI online for free?

Yes. Sign in, upload a scan or phone photo, and run a restore with credits. New accounts receive trial credits so you can restore an old photo without Photoshop or a desktop app.

Can it colorize black and white photos?

Choose Colorize to add natural, period-appropriate color. Skin tones stay realistic and clothing is not oversaturated. Restore mode keeps the original black-and-white or faded color instead.

Will AI change the faces in the photo?

The restore prompt is identity-preserving: faces, ages, expressions, hairstyles, and clothing stay the same. It repairs the print instead of beautifying or swapping faces.

What damage can it repair?

Scratches, crease folds, tears, stains, mold spots, dust, fading, yellowing, color shift, blur, and analog noise. Heavy missing corners are reconstructed from nearby texture.

Do I need Photoshop or a phone app?

No. This is an online old photo restoration tool. Upload from a computer or phone browser, pick a restore mode, and download the result.

Are my family photos kept private?

Uploads are used to run your restore job. Follow the privacy policy for retention details. Only restore photographs you own or have permission to edit.

What it repairs

From damaged prints to a restored photograph.

Built for the jobs people actually search: old photo restoration, black-and-white colorize, and making a blurry family picture clear again.

Scratch and tear repair

Remove hairline scratches, crease folds, stains, mold spots, and torn corners. Missing areas are reconstructed from surrounding texture.

Colorize black and white photos

Add natural, period-appropriate color to black-and-white and sepia portraits — soft skin tones, not neon or plastic.

Sharpen faded and blurry photos

Recover contrast, clarity, and facial detail from yellowed, faded, or soft analog prints without over-processing.

Identity-preserving restore

Faces, ages, expressions, hairstyles, and clothing stay the same. The model restores the print — it does not reinvent the person.

Before and after

Real restoration examples.

Scratches, stains, faded color, and black-and-white portraits — restored without swapping faces.

How it works

Three steps. No Photoshop.

The restore runs as an identity-preserving image edit. You stay in control of colorize versus a faithful repair.

01
Upload the old photo
Use a scan or a well-lit phone photo of the print. Higher-resolution sources keep more facial detail.
02
Choose how far to restore
Repair damage only, colorize a black-and-white portrait, or keep authentic vintage film texture.
03
Download the restored print
Review the before/after slider, then save a clean photograph you can reprint or share with family.

Who it is for

Family memory, genealogy, and archives.

The same restore that repairs a wedding print also helps family historians and anyone digitizing a box of photographs.

Parents' and grandparents' photos

Repair the wedding portrait, the faded living-room snapshot, and the portrait that has lived in a drawer for decades.

Family history and genealogy

Colorize black-and-white ancestors without inventing a different face. Keep age, expression, and clothing intact.

Damaged prints and albums

Scratches, tears, water stains, and mold on paper — reconstructed from nearby texture instead of cropped away.
