FAQ

Can I repair old family photos, faded prints, or scanned albums online?

Yes. The homepage uploader is designed for common photo repair tasks such as scratches, fading, blur, grain, yellowing, and low-resolution scans. If your image is an old family photo, start with Old Photo Restoration. If the main issue is blur, noise, or missing detail, choose the matching repair mode for a more focused result.

What kinds of improvements can the tool make?

The tool can improve clarity, repair scratches, reduce noise, recover faded color, enhance portraits, and increase perceived image quality for printing or sharing. Results depend on the original file, but the goal is to preserve a natural look while recovering detail, tones, and facial features as much as possible.

Will restoring or upscaling my photo make it look artificial?

The processing is tuned to avoid harsh oversharpening, plastic skin, and unnatural color shifts. Instead of simply adding contrast, the workflow aims to recover clean edges, balanced tone, and realistic texture. Very damaged images may still have limits, but the output is optimized to look more natural than aggressive one-click filters.

Do I need to create an account before using the homepage tool?

Yes. Create an account and sign in before starting a repair. New users receive one free trial, then you can buy credits when you need more repairs. Each repair uses 10 credits.

Is my uploaded photo private, and how long is it stored?

Your privacy is our top priority. Uploaded photos are used solely to generate your repair results and are never displayed publicly or used for any other purpose. We do not store your original or result images, and all upload records are automatically deleted within 24 hours to ensure your privacy and data security.
