Photo Restoration repairs scratches, tears, and fading on damaged photos without inventing new people, objects, or text. It reconstructs what damage obscured only where the surrounding evidence supports it, and leaves genuinely lost regions soft rather than fabricating detail.
The only copy is creased and fading?
Repair what's recoverable and stop where evidence ends — a restoration you can trust because it refuses to invent.

FAQ
Can it restore a face that's mostly torn away?
No — it repairs from surviving evidence and will not fabricate a face or text that isn't recoverable. Heavily lost regions come back soft, not invented.
Which damage can it reasonably repair?
Scratches, dust, folds, fading, and small tears with surrounding evidence are better candidates than large missing regions.
Will it recreate missing writing?
No. Letters and words without enough surviving evidence remain unrecovered rather than being invented.
What does Photo Restoration preserve?
The service is instructed to preserve the original region and unrelated scene content.
Can edit details replace the service rules?
No. User-supplied details remain subordinate to fixed safety and preservation rules.
Where is the edited image stored?
A successful image is stored privately in My Media for the signed-in account.
What happens when editing fails?
Reserved Credits are released when no usable image is saved.
