 FAQ

Can Old Photo Restorer colorize black and white photos?

Yes, the tool can add natural-looking color to black and white photos based on AI analysis of similar historical images. The colorization process uses contextual clues from the image to determine appropriate colors for clothing, landscapes, and other elements. While not perfect, it creates a reasonable approximation of how the scene might have appeared in color.
What types of damage can the Old Photo Restorer fix?

The tool can repair many common types of photo damage, including scratches, tears, creases, stains, water damage, fading, discoloration, dust spots, and general aging effects. It also enhances overall clarity, sharpens details, and improves contrast in photos that have become blurry or faded over time.
Will restored photos look artificially enhanced or modern?

No, our Old Photo Restorer is designed to maintain the authentic character and period feel of vintage photographs. Rather than making old photos look like they were taken with modern equipment, the tool preserves the essential qualities that make vintage photos special while removing only the unwanted damage and deterioration.
Can severely damaged photos be restored with this tool?

Yes, the Old Photo Restorer can handle severely damaged photos, though results vary depending on the extent and type of damage. Even with extreme damage, the AI often recovers surprising amounts of detail. For photos with missing sections, the AI uses contextual information to make educated reconstructions of lost areas.
Does the restoration process alter the historical accuracy of photos?

Our AI is trained to maintain historical accuracy while making repairs. It doesn't add elements that weren't in the original photo or significantly alter the content. The goal is to reveal what was originally captured but has been obscured by damage or aging, not to reimagine or modernize historical images.
