Choosing the Right Photos for Restoration: A Beginner's Guide

4 min read

Selecting the right photos for restoration can make a huge difference in the quality of your results. Here's what to look for when choosing which images to restore.

Ideal Candidates for Restoration

The best photos for restoration have:

  • Visible facial features and details, even if faded
  • Clear subject matter (portraits work particularly well)
  • Good contrast between light and dark areas
  • Minimal physical damage (small scratches are fine, but major tears may affect results)
  • Reasonable resolution (higher is better, but our AI can work with lower resolution images)

What to Expect

Our AI does an excellent job with most photos, but results can vary based on the original image quality. Heavily damaged photos may require multiple restoration passes, and some extremely low-resolution images may have limitations in detail recovery.
