Try it free with your photo, no card needed

Restore an old 3x4 photo and compare before you download.

To restore an old 3x4 photo, the small ID-style portrait, scan or photograph it and upload it to RestauraAI: the trial is free and the result comes in seconds. The AI repairs stains, scratches and fading and returns the portrait in natural colors that fit the period; the restoration is guided to keep the features of the face, but whatever was damaged is interpretation, so compare with the original. It suits albums, tributes and keepsakes. For an official document, the issuing agency decides: RestauraAI does not validate documents.

What the AI repairs

Stains, fading and poor light

The portrait goes through the full restoration, without you marking anything on the photo.

  1. Stains and scratches

    Moisture spots, scratches and creases are repaired from what surrounds them.

  2. Fading and yellowing

    Contrast and sharpness are recovered; check the result in the preview.

  3. Light and contrast

    Weak exposure and contrast are treated along with the damage.

  4. Natural color

    A black-and-white or sepia photo comes back in natural colors that fit the period.

What it's for

For memory, albums and tributes

The family 3x4 is often the only portrait of someone.

  1. Family album

    Puts the old portrait back in the album, without the stain and the crease.

  2. Tributes and frames

    For a frame or a tribute, choose 4K and check the preview at the size you'll use.

  3. Parents and grandparents

    Suits the old 3x4 of someone who has no other photo. Check the face in the preview.

  4. Official documents: ask the agency

    RestauraAI does not validate documents or guarantee acceptance. Check the issuing agency's rules before using it.

Questions

Questions about restoring a 3x4 photo

The most common questions from people with a damaged old 3x4.

Can a restored 3x4 photo be used for an official document?

We don't promise that. Each issuing agency sets the rules for document photos, and AI restoration recreates parts of the face. For memory, albums and tributes, it works; for a document, check with the issuing agency first.

Can I restore my parents' or grandparents' old 3x4?

Yes. The restoration is guided to keep facial features, and whatever was damaged is the AI's interpretation. Compare the preview with the original before downloading.

Can the restored 3x4 photo be printed?

You download in 2K or 4K. What works depends on the print size: to enlarge, choose 4K and check the preview at the size you'll use. The result depends on the original photo.

Does it work with a very old or faded 3x4?

Often, yes. The more of the portrait that survived, the more faithful the result; where the image is lost, the AI fills in by interpretation. See the free preview, with a watermark.

Can I change the background of the 3x4?

You can ask for it in the "Any detail to take care of?" field, but the AI does not always follow the request to the letter. Check the preview against the original.

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.
