Example restore an old photo result
Illustrative AI output, not a before-and-after comparison. Your result will depend on your uploaded photo.
What the Restore an Old Photo generator does
Try repairing visible scratches, creases, stains and fading in a digitized old photograph. The tool aims to retain the people, clothing, setting and composition rather than create a new portrait. Black-and-white photos are intended to stay black-and-white; this is not a colorization tool.
How it works
- 1. Upload an old photo scan in the generator above. Review the crop before generating.
- 2. Choose the closest available aspect ratio (1:1, 3:4 or 4:3) to the original, then tap Generate. These fixed ratios can change framing; keep your original file.
- 3. Download the result or share it with one tap. Saved results also stay in your on-device library.
Which photo works best
Use a sharp scan or a straight-on photograph of the old print in even light, without glare. Include the whole photograph. Cancel the crop dialog to keep the full upload if cropping would cut off detail.
Limitations to check
AI infers damaged or missing details and cannot guarantee exact recovery of faces, text or historical detail. Severe blur, large missing areas and heavy damage may remain or be filled inaccurately. Compare the result with your original and keep both; do not treat the output as archival evidence.
What it costs
Get 2 free generations per cycle across all tools. After both are used, wait 48 hours for the next cycle of 2. No sign-up required. Free results carry a small Trendish watermark. A Pro pass removes the watermark, lifts the free-tier wait, and gives you unlimited generations for the length of the pass — the model, the prompt and the output quality are identical either way.
