How to remove yellow stains from old pictures?

Yellow stains on old pictures are a common problem caused by the natural aging process of photographic paper and chemical deterioration over time. The good news is that AI photo restoration can remove these stains and restore your photos to their original appearance.

Yellowing occurs because:

  • Photographic paper contains chemicals that break down over decades
  • Exposure to light, heat, and humidity accelerates the process
  • Acid in the paper or storage materials causes chemical reactions
  • Oxidation of the image layer creates yellow or brown tones

AI restoration technology can automatically detect and correct yellow discoloration by analyzing the color balance of your photo and restoring it to natural tones. The process identifies areas affected by yellowing and adjusts the color channels to remove the stain while preserving the original image details.

Unlike manual photo editing, which can be time-consuming and require expertise, AI restoration removes yellow stains in seconds. Simply upload your photo, and the AI will automatically detect and correct discoloration throughout the entire image.
