FAQ
Common questions about uploads, results, and tool behavior.
01 What is AI old photo restoration?
It repairs scratches, folds, stains, fading, blur, and noise in uploaded old photos while trying to preserve identity, expression, clothing, and historical feel.
02 What does the restoration prompt do?
The preset asks the model to preserve identity and scene structure, remove damage, restore natural contrast, realistic skin tones, clearer contours, and an old-photo texture.
03 Can it colorize black-and-white photos?
Yes. The preset requests restrained, realistic, era-appropriate colorization when suitable, avoiding exaggerated or overly modern styling.
04 Will restoration change the person identity?
The prompt asks the model to preserve identity, facial proportions, and expression, but AI results can still vary. Review the final image carefully.
05 Can it repair severely damaged photos?
You can try, but large missing areas, heavy occlusion, or extremely low-quality images create more uncertainty. Generate a few versions and choose the best one.
06 Can I use restored photos commercially?
The tool can create restored versions, but final use depends on the original photo license, portrait rights, archive permissions, and the intended context.
