Frequently Asked Questions About Photo Restoration
Answers to popular questions about restoring old and damaged photographs
How long does photo restoration take?
Allow a few minutes. Time depends on the mode, image size and load; the form shows the current processing status.
What types of damage can be fixed?
Restoration can reduce scratches, cracks, stains, fading, wear and creases. AI reconstructs missing areas from the surviving detail, so they may differ from the original. The result depends on the source photo and the extent of the damage.
How much does photo restoration cost?
Restoration costs 50 credits (about 50 ₽ in the Basic pack). The exact cost is shown in the form before you start. First sign-up provides 100 starter credits shared across AI services. Results have a watermark until your first purchase.
Is color photo restoration supported?
Yes, you can process a color or black-and-white photo. Choose black-and-white restoration for a monochrome result. In color mode, AI estimates shades that may differ from the actual colors of eyes, clothing and surrounding objects.
What quality is the restored photo?
Format and resolution depend on the mode and source photo. AI may alter facial features and small details, especially in badly damaged areas. Compare the result with the original at full size before printing and keep both files.
Can very old photographs be restored?
You can try restoration on an old scan or a carefully photographed print. Source clarity and surviving detail matter more than the photo's age. If facial features are completely missing, AI may reconstruct them differently, so check one result first.
