Old Photo Restoration: AI Photo Enhancer & Colorizer
Instantly repair damaged, blurred, or faded images with Somake's AI. No manual editing needed—just high-fidelity results optimized for your phone or tablet.
The Gentle Touch of Thoughtful Technology
Our restoration process employs sophisticated AI that understands the difference between preservation and transformation:
Auto-Repair & Scratch Removal
Our AI infills the damaged areas using texture synthesis, effectively "healing" the photograph without leaving obvious digital artifacts.
Facial Definition Enhancement
This tool utilizes specific face-restoration algorithms to sharpen facial features, reconstructing eyes, nose, and mouth details that may have been lost due to motion blur or camera limitations.
Intelligent Photo Colorizer
Our tool predict accurate coloration for skin tones, clothing, and environments, applying dynamic color grading to make old photos look new.
Advanced Toolkit
While the Old Photo Restoration tool handles the core repair work, some images require specialized professional treatment. We recommend these standalone utilities for specific needs:
For Large Format Printing
If you plan to print a poster or canvas from a small wallet photo, use the Image Upscaler after restoration to increase resolution by up to 8k without quality loss.
For Extreme Noise
If the photo is exceptionally grainy, our dedicated Image Denoiser offers more granular control over noise thresholds than the standard restoration process.
