AI photo restorer for vintage images

The AI photo restorer handles light-to-moderate scratches, dust spots, and fold creases automatically in most cases. Very deep or wide physical damage that covers large areas of the original may still need supplemental manual retouching in an image editor after the AI pass. For best results, scan the original at 600 DPI or higher before uploading to give the model more detail.

Results are a starting point; slight hue adjustments in an image editor help match known colors like uniforms or backgrounds.

After the restoration process, download the file and run it through the DPI resolution checker to verify you have at least 300 DPI at the intended print size. If resolution is lower than needed, pass the restored image through the AI image upscaler before finalizing. Once both DPI and visual quality pass review, upload the file to Cheap RUSH Printing for production.
