Faded family photos

Restore Faded Family Photos Online

Use AI to bring contrast, tone, and facial detail back to faded family photos without Photoshop or manual retouching.

What this fixes

Printed family photos often lose contrast, turn yellow, or flatten after years in albums and frames. A good restoration needs gentle tone recovery, not an aggressive filter that makes skin look artificial.

Best for

  • Old album photos with low contrast
  • Sun-faded portraits and group shots
  • Yellowed prints scanned from family collections

Recommended workflow

  1. Scan or photograph the original in even light.
  2. Choose full restoration when the photo is faded and scratched, or color restoration when the structure is still clean.
  3. Download the result and keep the untouched scan as your archive copy.

Practical tips

  • Use 600 DPI scans for small prints when possible.
  • Avoid adding contrast before upload; the AI works better with the original tonal range.
  • For faces, run face enhancement only after the main fade repair if the portrait still looks soft.
