What Is This Tool
AI Old Photo Restoration overview

What Is AI Old Photo Restoration?

Old family photos fade, crease and collect scratches and stains. Upload a scan or a phone photo of the print and the AI Old Photo Restoration tool removes scratches, dust, creases and stains and brings back contrast and detail. The repair is made by FLUX.1 Kontext, an image-editing model from Black Forest Labs, which is told to keep the same people, faces, clothing and composition. Very damaged faces may be partly redrawn, so compare the result with the original; for adding color to a black-and-white photo, use the colorizer.

Use Cases

What you can create

AI Old Photo Restoration use case - Genealogy Database Reconstruction

Genealogy Database Reconstruction

Family historians can upload a scan of an old print, clean up scratches and stains, and download a repaired copy to share with relatives or add to a family-tree site. Keep the original scan as well.

Museum Exhibit Digitization

Small museums and local-history groups can make a cleaned-up viewing copy of a damaged photo for a display or a post. The AI redraws damaged areas, so keep the untouched scan as the record.

Memorial Tribute Preparation

Families preparing a memorial slideshow can repair a creased or stained print of a loved one. Compare the face with the original, since badly damaged faces may be partly redrawn.

Why Eidora

Built different, built better

Scratches and Creases Removed
Scratches, dust, creases, tears and stains are cleaned up and the damaged areas are filled in to match the photo.
Faded Contrast Brought Back
Faded, washed-out prints get natural contrast back. The photo keeps its original color treatment, so a black-and-white photo stays black-and-white.
Clearer Faces
Faces and fine detail come back sharper. Very damaged faces may be partly redrawn, so compare the result with the original.

No, you do not need any special software or technical skills. Our AI Old Photo Restoration tool is entirely web-based and designed for ease of use. Simply upload your photo, and the tool handles the rest automatically.
Our tool is designed to enhance and restore quality, not diminish it. While it repairs damage, it also works to improve details and color, providing you with a higher quality, restored version of your original image.
Your uploads, prompts and results are saved privately to your history so you can view and download them later, and only you can open them (if you are not signed in, they are tied to your browser session). To create a result, your input is sent to the AI model provider that runs the generation. We do not sell your content or use it to train AI models.
Absolutely. Our online tool is fully responsive and can be accessed and used from any device with an internet connection, including smartphones and tablets. Restore photos on the go.
This AI tool offers a fast, accessible, and often free alternative to traditional manual restoration, which can be expensive and time-consuming. While AI excels at common damage, complex or artistic repairs might still benefit from professional human touch, but for most users, AI provides excellent results.
There is no separate limit; it works on credits. Each photo uses 4 credits. A free account gets 16 credits to start and 4 free credits every day, and Pro, Ultra and Max add 300 to 2,000 credits a month.
While the tool can sharpen some soft details and improve overall clarity, extremely blurry or severely out-of-focus images may only see limited improvement. It works best on photos with existing detail that needs enhancement.
Try a sharper scan of the print (flat, evenly lit, no glare) and run it again. If a face looks redrawn, compare it with the original and keep the version that looks like the person.
