How long does photo restoration take?

Photo restoration with AI is incredibly fast—most photos are restored in just 10-30 seconds. The entire process, from upload to download, typically takes less than a minute.

What affects restoration time:

  • File Size: Larger files take slightly longer to upload and process
  • Image Complexity: Very detailed or large images may take a bit longer
  • Server Load: During peak times, processing may take a few extra seconds

The restoration process timeline:

  • Upload: 5-15 seconds (depending on file size and internet speed)
  • Processing: 10-30 seconds (AI restoration and colorization)
  • Download: Instant (results are ready immediately)

Compare to manual restoration:

Traditional manual photo restoration in Photoshop can take hours or even days for complex photos. AI restoration is thousands of times faster while producing professional-quality results.

Batch processing:

You can upload multiple photos at once, and they'll be processed in parallel. While each photo takes 10-30 seconds, multiple photos are processed simultaneously, so the total time for a batch is roughly the same as a single photo.

No waiting, no delays:

Unlike services that require you to wait days or weeks for results, ColorRestore provides instant restoration. You can see your restored photos immediately and download them right away.
