Questions people ask
Can I restore photos for free?
Yes. Create an account and verify your email for 2 free credits each calendar month. Each restoration, enhancement, colorization, upscale or background removal uses 1 credit. Downloads and sharing are free. Free processing is subject to daily capacity and fair-use limits.
Will the people still look like themselves?
The restoration is told to keep faces unchanged, but AI can still alter small details, so compare every face. If one looks different, tap it under “Faces” to put the original face back. That is free and keeps the original pixels, including any damage on that face. To lock areas before you start, turn on “Keep marked areas exactly” and mark them.
Can it fix every scratch or missing detail?
Restoration can reduce scratches, creases, fading and stains. It cannot recover information that is missing from the photograph with certainty. Severe damage may need careful manual restoration, especially when it crosses a face.
How are my photographs handled?
Your account photos are private and automatically deleted from PhotoRestore after 24 hours. Runware processes the image and may retain temporary processing files for up to 7 days. We do not use uploads to train our own models. Save the result before it expires.
Can I save and share the restored image?
Download a PNG without a watermark, share the photo itself, or share a before-and-after picture made for family chats. You can download completed photos together as a ZIP. Downloading the same result again does not use another credit.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR PHOTO?
Find the right kind of help
The studio above handles all of these. Each guide explains what to expect for one kind of damage, and where AI stops being reliable.
How AI restoration works
What the model repairs, what it reconstructs, how faces are protected and how to check a result before you keep it.
AI photo restoration explained →Scratches, creases and dust
Fine scratch lines, fold marks and scanner dust usually leave enough detail around them for a clean repair.
Remove scratches from photos →Blurry or soft photos
Camera shake and slightly missed focus can often be improved. Heavy blur cannot be truly recovered.
Photo blur remover →Black-and-white photos
Add plausible natural color after repair. Colors are an interpretation, not a record of the original.
Colorize black-and-white photos →Faded, stained or water-damaged
Washed-out prints regain contrast; tide marks and stains fade. Large missing areas stay a best guess.
Restore faded photos → Water-damaged photos →Before you start, read how to scan old photographs or the step-by-step restoration guide.
