Prompt & generation settings

What would you like to change?

Restore the supplied old photograph. Return one restored photograph, not a comparison, collage, explanation or a photograph of a print.

The supplied image is the sole source of identity and composition. Preserve every person’s recognizable facial structure, age, expression, gaze, pose, body proportions, hairstyle and clothing. Keep all existing people and objects in their original positions. Preserve the whole original framing and orientation. Do not crop, zoom, change the background, add borders, text, watermarks, jewelry or objects. Do not beautify, smooth away age, modernize the clothing or invent missing facial features. If evidence is insufficient, keep that area subtle rather than fabricate a sharp new detail.

Repair visible scratches, creases, stains and small tears. Reconstruct damaged regions conservatively using the immediately surrounding surviving evidence. Leave intact areas alone. Keep an originally monochrome photograph monochrome. Preserve the period grain; do not replace the entire image with a modern-looking portrait.

Prioritize fine surface scratches and dust. Retain intentional film grain.

What this tool can and cannot do

Large missing regions cannot be recovered reliably. AI may invent details; repair is not evidence of the original scene.
