How it works

  1. Step 1
    Scan or upload

    A phone photo of an old print works. JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported.

  2. Step 2
    Apply AI enhancement

    Improve sharpness, exposure, and color in one pass. The credit cost is shown before you confirm.

  3. Step 3
    Upscale if needed

    Add resolution with the AI upscaler when the source is too small for its intended use.

  4. Step 4
    Fine-tune manually

    Adjust curves, color, and effects on the canvas — you control the final look, not the model.

  5. Step 5
    Export for print or share

    Download at full resolution for printing, or a web-sized copy for sharing.

Why this approach works

Old and low-quality photos usually have several problems at once — softness, fade, bad exposure. Combining AI enhancement with manual canvas controls lets you fix what's fixable and stop before the result stops looking like the original.

Frequently asked questions

Will faces look natural?

Enhancement improves sharpness and tone, but heavy AI processing can change fine facial detail. Compare with the original and keep the edit conservative.

Can it fix scratches and tears?

AI editing can reduce visible damage in many cases, but results vary with the severity. Test with your welcome credits and review before exporting.

Can it colorize black-and-white photos?

You can ask the AI editor to add color, but treat it as an interpretation, not a restoration — review the result carefully.

Can I print the enhanced photo?

Yes. Upscale first if the source is small, then export at full resolution for your print size.
