Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about AI photo restoration, supported images, credits, downloads, and privacy.

What can AI photo restoration fix?

It can repair scratches, creases, stains, fading, and light damage while enhancing people, clothing, and background details. It is a good fit for family albums, portraits of grandparents, and old group photos.

Can a blurry face be made clearer?

The service enhances facial, clothing, and photo details so people are easier to recognize. The clearer the original scan or photo, the more information can be recovered.

Will the people and character of my old photo remain?

Restoration follows the original composition, outlines, poses, and lighting while keeping a natural period texture instead of making the image look like an overly smooth modern portrait.

Can black-and-white old photos be colorized naturally?

Yes. You can choose automatic colorization or keep the black-and-white look. Automatic colorization considers the people, surroundings, light, and period mood for soft, natural tones.

Which formats, sizes, and aspect ratios are supported?

JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported up to 20 MB per image. Common ratios including 1:1, 3:2, and 2:3 are supported.

Can I download a high-resolution image without a watermark?

After restoration, you can view a before-and-after comparison and download a high-resolution, watermark-free result for saving, printing, or a family album.

How many credits does restoration use? Are failed tasks charged?

The page shows the credit cost for your selected mode before you submit. Successful tasks use the actual task cost, failed tasks return the reserved credits, and viewing or downloading again does not charge extra.

Is my photo safe, and how long is it stored?

Your original photo and generated result are kept for 14 days to protect your privacy, then automatically deleted.
