How to run AI old photo restore
Upload the photo, hit restore and download the result — three steps, all in your browser.
Upload the damaged photo to AI Old Photo Restore
Scans, re-photographed prints and phone snapshots all work. Keep the print straight with even lighting and no glare across the face. JPG, PNG and WebP are supported.
Let AI Old Photo Restore run in one click
Hit Restore photo. The AI detects scratches, creases, stains, mold and blurred areas, then fills each one in and rebuilds the detail. No manual brushing required.
Compare and download the AI Old Photo Restore result
The result sits beside the original. Check that the faces are unchanged, then download. If one spot is still off, add a line about it in the prompt box and run it again.
Why use GenPix for AI old photo restore
AI Old Photo Restore clears scratches, creases and mold together
Not just smoothing: fine scratches, fold creases, water stains, mold spots, torn edges and dirt are detected and filled in, with background texture continued from the surroundings instead of leaving a blurred patch.
AI Old Photo Restore keeps faces the same people
Restoration is anchored to the original photo, keeping face shape, feature proportions, expression and apparent age. It will not turn your grandfather into a stranger or quietly swap a face to look "better".
AI Old Photo Restore rebuilds detail instead of inventing it
What gets rebuilt is information the photo already had: the folds in a jacket, the direction of the hair, the texture of the backdrop. Nothing that was not in the original gets added.
No brushing, results in seconds
Traditional retouching means cloning and patching stroke by stroke. Here one click does it, and you can compare immediately and re-run with an extra line if something still looks off.
Shoot it on your phone, then let AI Old Photo Restore fix it
No scanner or desktop editor needed — photograph the print with your phone and upload it. Works on desktop, tablet and phone, with free credits on sign-up.
Your photo is only used for this restore
Uploaded photos are used only to generate this one result. They are not used for training and not shown publicly, so family photos are safe to upload.

AI old photo restore FAQ
Answers on what can be fixed, photo requirements and using the results.
What kind of damage can AI Old Photo Restore fix?
Typical problems include scratches, fold creases, water stains, mold, dirt, torn edges, overall blur and fading. Upload the photo and hit restore once — no manual brushing or region selection needed. The AI Old Photo Restore model works on both colour and black-and-white scans.
Can it fix badly damaged photos with a missing corner?
Mostly yes, depending on what is missing. Missing background or a missing corner can usually be continued from the surrounding texture. If the missing piece is part of a face, the model can only guess and the result may not match the person. You can run AI Old Photo Restore more than once on the same scan if the first pass over-smooths the grain.
Will AI Old Photo Restore turn faces into different people?
No. Restoration is anchored to the original photo and preserves face shape, feature proportions, expression and apparent age. It will not swap a face to look better. Compare against the original before you save. A 300 dpi scan gives AI Old Photo Restore the most to work with.
Will AI Old Photo Restore colorize a black and white photo?
By default the original black and white or sepia tone is kept and only sharpness and damage are repaired. If you want color, say "keep it black and white" or "natural colorization" in the prompt box — both are worth trying. AI Old Photo Restore does not invent faces — it rebuilds texture that the scan already implies.
Do phone snapshots work with AI Old Photo Restore?
Yes. Keep the print straight, avoid glare and don't let your fingers cover it, so the frame contains only the photo. If a tabletop or picture frame is in shot, crop it first for a cleaner result. Uploads to AI Old Photo Restore stay private to your account.
Can an AI Old Photo Restore result be printed or enlarged?
Yes, but if the original resolution is low, run the restored result through AI Image Upscaler at 2x or 4x before sending it to print. The final print will be noticeably sharper. AI Old Photo Restore handles creases and fading better than heavy blur does.
Are uploaded photos made public or used for training?
No. Photos are used only to generate this one result. They are not shown publicly and not used to train models, so private family photos are safe to upload. Compare before and after side by side before you download the AI Old Photo Restore output.
Is AI Old Photo Restore free, and does it work on mobile?
You get free credits on sign-up to restore a few photos and see the results, then pay as you go with no subscription. On a phone browser you can upload and download without installing an app. The AI Old Photo Restore output keeps the original aspect ratio of your scan.
