It repairs scratches, tears, creases, stains, dust spots, and faded areas, and recovers sharper detail. Faces, poses, and composition are kept as they are. Each run outputs one restored photo.

Scan the print at a high resolution, in color even if the photo is black and white, or photograph it lying flat in even daylight without flash, with the camera held straight above it. Take it out of any frame or album sleeve first to avoid glare. Then upload the image, turn the colorize option on or off, and start. The restored photo appears in your task list, ready to download.

Restoration uses credits. Signed-in free accounts receive 10 free credits every day, which count toward a restoration together with credit pack credits. For occasional restorations, the Starter pack gives you 100 credits for $0.99, and pack credits never expire. Subscriptions add a monthly credit allowance for regular use, such as restoring a whole family album.

12 credits per photo, with or without colorization. The cost is shown on the button before you start, and credits are returned automatically if the run fails.

No. A black-and-white photo does not record color, so the colors of clothing, backgrounds, and other details are inferred by AI from the image content. The result looks natural, but it may differ from the original colors.

Yes. Turn off the colorize option for color photos: the scratches and damage are repaired and the existing colors are kept.

Restored photos are generated at 2K resolution, which suits sharing, viewing on screens and standard-size prints. For a larger print, upload the restored photo to Image Upscaler to enlarge it further. Starting from a sharp, high-resolution scan of the original also gives the restoration more detail to work with.

The output uses the standard aspect ratio closest to your photo. When the shapes differ slightly, a narrow strip of background is trimmed at the edges, without adding new scenery or cutting off any person. If you photograph a print lying on a table or album page, or held in your hand, only the print itself is restored. White paper borders are removed as well.

Yes, for photos you own or have permission to use. Results are kept for 30 days (7 days for free accounts). See our Terms of Service for details. No attribution is required on paid plans or credit packs; free-plan outputs require attribution to LubanAI.

Tasks are processed in the order they are submitted. Paid tasks from subscribers and credit pack buyers are picked up first. Free tasks may wait longer during peak hours.
