Restore Old Photos
Fix scratches, tears, fading, and age wear after Nostalgia checks the source. The original stays preserved while the repair pass focuses on visible damage and natural results.
After
BeforeDrag to compare the original with the restored version
Check, repair, save with context
Check the source
Upload a scan or phone capture. Photo Insight checks quality, glare, blur, and visible damage before a restore is spent.
Repair carefully
Run the recommended repair path first. If a rescan, crop, deblur, or deglare step would help more, the workflow points you there.
Choose the keeper
Compare the result against the original, save the keeper, then add names, notes, and private sharing only when the photo is ready.
What restoration handles
Scratch & Tear Repair
Surface damage is detected and filled in with context-aware inpainting, preserving the surrounding detail.
Face Restoration
When a portrait needs extra help, face-specific repair runs automatically to recover detail while keeping the photo looking natural.
Fading & Contrast Recovery
Yellowed or faded prints get balanced tone recovery that brings back shadow and highlight detail.
Preserves Character
The model is tuned for restraint. It repairs damage without removing the qualities that make old photos feel authentic.
The editor keeps the workflow clear
The editor groups actions by purpose so the workflow stays predictable. A persistent Photo Health banner keeps damage labels, quality grade, and conservation warnings visible before you use a restore.
Fix
Restore, denoise, deblur, and deglare. The first-pass tools that repair visible damage before anything stylistic.
Enhance
Enhance, face repair, and colorize. Follow-up passes that run only when the repair has room to improve further.
Create
Background removal, animation, and filters. Creative tools that sit after the archive-quality pass, not before it.
Adjust
Local exposure, contrast, warmth, and saturation tuning, the finishing controls that don't need a credit.
Crop
Straighten, rotate, and reframe. Often the single most useful fix before the keeper is saved.
Info
A side panel with era, subject, EXIF, Photo Insight detail, and version history, never buried in a menu.
This step belongs to the family archive
After the tool runs, the Original, Keeper, Photo Insight, captions, people, notes, and private shares stay together in Archive. The result is not a loose download; it becomes one more finished record in the archive.
Start with the photo that matters most
Upload a faded, scratched, or damaged photo, choose a Photo Insight recommendation, and compare the Keeper before you share.
