Frequently asked questions
Can it fix torn or creased photos?+
Yes. Tears, creases, scratches and stains are removed and the missing areas are filled in naturally.
Can I restore without colorizing?+
Yes. Type “keep it black and white” in the prompt box.
Will faces be changed?+
The AI is told to keep identity and expressions unchanged. Very blurry faces may be sharpened with some interpretation, so always compare with the original.
What resolution do I get?+
Free images are up to 1024 px with a watermark. Paid plans give full-resolution, watermark-free results and optional HD.
