Answers About AI Photo Restoration
What is AI photo restoration?+
AI photo restoration uses an image model to generate an adjusted version of an uploaded photo. The result depends on the original image and may change details, so compare it with the source before downloading.

Uploads and account data are handled under the ImgHeal Privacy Policy. Review it for details about data storage, processing, and deletion.
Choose the right starting point for your photo
ImgHeal works on a digital copy of your photograph. Restoration and colorization create a new image, so keep the original scan for comparison and future edits. Start with the clearest copy you can obtain rather than a screenshot of a small preview.
Before you upload
Scan the complete print, including its edges, or photograph it straight on in even light. Avoid glare and remove unrelated background from the digital copy. Upload the photo in the dashboard, choose restoration or colorization, then review the generated image before downloading.
What to check in the result
Compare faces, lettering, clothing, and small objects with the source. AI may invent detail where information is missing. A cleaner image is not proof that the new detail is historically correct; keep both versions when preserving a family record.
