Remove scratches and repair damaged photos with AI.

To remove scratches from a photo, upload the file to RestauraAI and see the result free, in seconds. The AI repairs scratches, stains, tears and folds from what is left of the image; where the damage wiped out parts, what appears is interpretation, so compare with the original. Every photo goes through the full restoration: if it is black and white or sepia, it comes back in natural colors that fit the period.

What the AI repairs

Scratches, tears, stains and folds

Each type of damage is treated in the same restoration, without you marking anything on the photo.

  1. Scratches and lines

    Fine lines and white marks are repaired from what surrounds them.

  2. Tears and missing parts

    The AI recreates the area that is missing. It is interpretation: compare with the original.

  3. Water stains and mold

    Moisture stains, mold and dirt can be treated; check the preview.

  4. Folds and creases

    Fold marks and crumples can be softened; deep creases need a closer look.

What to expect

Where the AI repairs and where it interprets

The more of the photo that survived, the more faithful the repair. The rest is recreated.

  1. Light damage

    Scratches and stains on top of the image are repaired from what surrounds them.

  2. Lost area

    Where the photo tore or faded away, the AI draws what was probably there. Check the preview.

  3. Damaged faces

    The restoration is guided to keep facial features. A scratched face can come out different.

Questions

Questions about removing scratches

The most common questions from people with a scratched, torn or stained photo.

Does it work with heavily scratched photos?

Often, yes: the AI repairs the scratches from what surrounds them. When there are too many scratches and part of the image is lost, what comes back is interpretation. Compare the preview with the original.

What if the photo is torn in half?

The AI recreates the missing parts from the context of the image. Recreated faces, clothes and background are interpretation and may not match the original: check the preview before downloading.

Does it remove water stains and mold?

The restoration treats water stains, mold and dirt, and you see the result in the free preview. Very strong stains can leave marks; compare with the original.

Can it repair several kinds of damage at once?

Yes. Scratches, stains, tears and fading are treated together, in the same restoration.

Will people's faces look like themselves?

The restoration is guided to keep each person's features. If the face was scratched or erased, the lost area is the AI's interpretation: compare the preview with the original before downloading.

Can a black-and-white photo be recovered?

Yes. Besides treating the damage, the AI returns the photo in natural colors that fit the period. They are the AI's interpretation.

How much does it cost to restore a photo?

The first preview is free, with a watermark. To download without the mark, the entry pack costs US$2.99 and includes 1 coin. A 2K photo uses 1 coin; 4K uses 2 coins. In the 100-coin pack, each 2K photo comes to US$0.55. One-time payment, by card.

How long does it take?

The time varies with the image and processing. You follow the progress on screen.

Where are my photos kept?

Results stay in your account gallery, behind a login, and you can delete them from the panel. The Privacy Policy describes how data is used and kept.

What if the restoration fails or I do not like it?

If the generation fails, the coin returns to your balance. You see the preview before buying. Refunds follow the Terms: within 30 days of purchase, assessed case by case; coins already used are not refundable.
