How to get better restoration results

Use the highest-resolution scan or photo you have. Crop out scanner borders, avoid screenshots of photos when possible, and compare the restored result against the original before sharing it.

  • Use restoration first when a source image is damaged.
  • Use glare or red-eye removal for targeted portrait fixes.
  • Use HD output for family archives or printable downloads.

Can AI restore a badly damaged old photo?

AI can improve many damaged photos, but it cannot recover details that are completely missing with perfect accuracy. Review faces and important details before printing or sharing.

Should I scan the photo first?

Yes. A clean, high-resolution scan usually produces better restoration than a phone picture of a print.

Can I download a watermark-free restored photo?

Yes, use paid credits or a paid plan for higher-resolution, watermark-free downloads.
