Old Photo Restorer: AI Repair

About

Old Photo Restorer brings damaged family photographs back to life, right on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Scan a faded portrait from 1952, drop it into the app, click Auto Restore. Scratches disappear, faces come back into focus, black and white turns into believable color. What took a professional retoucher an afternoon now takes about a minute. WHAT IT FIXES • Scratches and cracks. The app finds them on its own and heals the damage without touching the rest of the picture. • Stains, tears, and worn corners. Damaged areas are rebuilt to match the surrounding paper, grain, and texture. • Blurry, faded faces. A dedicated face model recovers sharp, natural features. Each face is restored individually, up to 16 per photo, and you keep the person you remember: the app does not invent new faces. • Missing color. Colorization understands skin, sky, fabric, and foliage. It also works on sepia and yellowed prints, not only on pure black and white. • Low resolution. Upscale results 2x or 4x for printing and framing. A small 800px scan becomes a crisp, printable 3200px image. HOW AUTO RESTORE WORKS One click runs the full pipeline in the right order: damage repair first, then noise and grain cleanup, then faces, then color, and upscaling last. Each step is a separate model trained for that one job, which is why the result looks restored rather than filtered. Prefer manual control? Toggle any step off and run only what the photo needs. YOUR PHOTOS NEVER LEAVE YOUR IPHONE, IPAD, OR MAC Most restoration apps upload your pictures to a server and put you in a queue. This one does not. Every model runs locally on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, so a photo of your grandmother is processed on your computer and nowhere else. No account, no upload, no waiting. It works on a plane. BUILT FOR REAL ARCHIVES • Work through a single treasured portrait or a whole shoebox of scans. • Compare before and after with a split slider that shows the same area on both sides, down to the pixel. • Turn each fix on or off per photo: scratch removal, stain repair, face enhancement, colorization, upscaling. • History keeps every restoration with its settings, so you can return later and export again. • Opens JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, and WebP. Exports PNG, JPEG, or TIFF at full resolution, ready for print shops. MADE FOR APPLE SILICON The restoration models are tuned for the Neural Engine and GPU in M-series Macs. A typical 2000px scan is cleaned up in seconds; a full pass with faces and color usually finishes in under a minute. WHO IT IS FOR People digitizing family albums before the prints fade further. Genealogists attaching portraits to a family tree. Anyone who inherited a box of photographs and wants to see the faces in them clearly, maybe for the first time.
