Bring back the color in your old photo

Faded, yellowed, or washed-out photos get their color back. The AI uses what's left of the color; where it has faded, the result is an interpretation.

frequently asked questions

Questions aboutcolor restoration?

What's the difference between restoring color and colorizing B&W photos?

They're different processes. Color restoration brings back pigments that were in the photo but got lost to fading or yellowing. B&W colorization creates colors that were never in the image — an interpretation by the AI. RestauraAI offers both.

Does it work with very faded photos?

Often, yes. The AI uses whatever traces of color remain as a reference. The more color is left, the more the result relies on it and the less on interpretation. Check the preview.

Does it work with photos yellowed over time?

Yes. If the photo has yellowed, the AI neutralizes the yellow tone and balances the color; check the result in the preview. According to the National Archives (NARA), negatives, slides, and color prints can fade and deteriorate within decades when stored at room temperature.

Can I restore color and repair damage at the same time?

Yes. If the photo also has tears, stains, or mildew, physical-damage restoration runs alongside the color correction. Both processes on the same platform.

Do Polaroid and Instamatic photos work too?

Yes. Instant photos and compact-camera shots can be uploaded too. If there is a color cast, the AI tries to correct it; check the result in the preview.

Does the restoration change details in the photo?

It can. The AI creates a new version of the image and, beyond the colors, may change small details in faces, textures, and background. Compare the preview with the original before you buy.
