What is AI photo restoration?

AI photo restoration uses machine learning (CodeFormer) to repair and enhance degraded images. It removes noise, fixes blur, corrects artifacts, and sharpens details — all automatically, with no manual editing required.

What types of photos can I restore?

The tool works on old scanned family photos, low-resolution images, blurry photos, pixelated screenshots, and photos with compression artifacts or damage.

Does it improve face quality?

Yes — CodeFormer AI is specifically trained on face restoration. It detects faces in the photo and enhances them with extra precision, making old portraits look sharp and natural.

How is this different from just upscaling?

Upscaling makes images larger. Restoration focuses on repairing actual damage — removing noise, fixing compression artifacts, deblurring, and enhancing faces — not just increasing resolution.
