Restore Image
Restore old, scratched, or damaged images online
Upload one old photo to repair scratches, fading, noise, and damage across the full image. Use Restore Face afterward only when facial detail needs a separate focused pass.

Restore more than faces
Use Restore Image when damage extends beyond the face into the background, clothing, texture, scratches, fading, or noise across the photo.
