What Can AI Photo Restoration Fix?

From minor fading to severe physical damage — our AI handles the full range of photo restoration challenges.

Scratches and tears

Physical damage from handling, storage, or accidents. AI identifies and removes scratch patterns while preserving underlying detail.

Fading and discoloration

Chemical degradation causes photos to fade, yellow, or shift color over decades. AI corrects tonal and color changes caused by aging.

Blurry faces

Old camera technology often produced soft or out-of-focus faces. Dedicated face enhancement models reconstruct detail and sharpness.

Low resolution

Old photos scan at low resolution. AI super-resolution upscales up to 4× original size with convincing, natural-looking detail.

Water damage

Water stains and flood damage create distinctive patterns. AI can significantly reduce or eliminate water damage artifacts.

Black and white photos

Colorization uses AI trained on historical photos to add natural, realistic color to black and white images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AI photo restoration free?: Yes — ArtImageHub offers a free trial with 3 photos to test the AI quality, no account or credit card required. Pro Lifetime is a one-time payment of $4.99 for unlimited restorations in original resolution with no watermark, lifetime access.
What image formats are supported for photo restoration?: We accept JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WEBP formats up to 20MB per file. For old scanned photos, we recommend scanning at 600 DPI or higher and uploading as PNG for best results.
How long does AI photo restoration take?: Most photos restore in 15–30 seconds. Heavily damaged photos or photos processed with multiple enhancements (face enhancement + super resolution + colorization) may take up to 60–90 seconds.
Are my photos kept private and secure?: Yes. All photos are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Uploaded photos are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 24 hours. We never share, sell, or train AI models on your photos.
Can AI restore a very badly damaged photo?: AI restoration works best when there is some underlying image information to work with. Severe physical damage (large tears, missing sections, heavy mold) limits what AI can reconstruct. For modestly damaged, faded, or scratched photos, results are typically excellent.
Does AI restoration change how people look in old photos?: Our face enhancement models are trained to preserve identity — they recover sharpness and detail while keeping the person's features as they were. Results are accurate in over 95% of cases. Always compare the output to the original, especially for severely damaged faces.
What is the difference between Free Trial and Pro Lifetime?: Free Trial: 3 photos to test quality, no signup required. Pro Lifetime: One-time payment of $4.99 for unlimited restorations forever, original full resolution output, no watermark, lifetime access to all features.
