ImageVintage Photo Restoration and Colorization
Transform black-and-white, yellowed, blurry, or damaged vintage photos into high-definition, natural color images. Remove scratches, creases, cracks, mold, stains, water damage, noise, and yellowing. Repair damaged corners and missing edges, rebuild clear facial details, hair strands, and clothing textures, and correct exposure and lighting contrast while applying reasonable, period-appropriate coloring based on ethnicity, clothing style, and era. Strictly lock facial structures, facial proportions, expressions, age traits, hairstyles, poses, and positioning of all subjects in the original photo, while keeping the composition, shooting angle, number of people, clothing styles, background objects, and scene layout unchanged. No face-swapping, no heavy beautification, no adding or removing people or objects, and no modern alterations. By default, it uses the image generation model with the highest fidelity to the reference image. The default output is one image per original photo with an aspect ratio matching the original. Clothing colors, background colors, and overall tones can be specified manually. Supports both single-image touch-ups and batch processing for multiple vintage photos.
Vintage Photo Restoration
Restore clarity and life to yellowed, black-and-white, or damaged old photos while preserving their original vintage feel, facial features, and authentic memories. It is ideal for family photos, historical images, and old color photos from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The focus is on repairing scratches, cracks, mold spots, white dots, noise, and mild blur without altering face shapes, facial proportions, expressions, poses, or composition, nor adding extra people or background elements. For photos needing color, the result features a low-saturation, warm, and natural retro tone, presenting credible skin tones, clothing, and environmental colors matching the photo's era. Areas without clear evidence are kept restrained to avoid overly vibrant, heavily beautified, or distorted plastic looks. Clarity enhancement moderately preserves film grain while improving facial features, hair, and fabric textures. Missing or severely blurred details are not arbitrarily invented. After use, you will receive a concise restoration summary and the restored or colored image. You can request further adjustments, such as repairing without coloring, reducing saturation, or fixing damage without enhancing clarity. If faces are severely damaged and unrecognizable, limitations in completing them will be clearly noted.
One-Click Photo Restoration
Upload damaged, faded, or blurry old photos and restore them into polished, high-resolution results in one go: repair tears and creases, remove stains and mildew, correct color casts and yellowing, intelligently colorize black-and-white photos, and enhance and enlarge blurry, low-resolution images. Strictly preserves faces and identities—only damage and clarity are corrected, with no beautification, face swapping, or invented details absent from the original. By default, you’ll receive one high-resolution restored photo plus one before-and-after comparison. Multiple photos are processed individually, and you can request adjustments such as “colorize only” or “keep black and white.”
