Answers on AI Face Restoration
How does AI face restoration work on historical portraits?+
Our AI combines facial landmark detection with geometric diffusion models trained specifically on human anatomy and historical photography. It detects soft or blurred eyes, brows, smiles, and skin textures, then sharpens focal details while preserving genuine ancestry likeness and original film grain.
Will the AI make my ancestors look like synthetic strangers?+
No. This is the critical difference between ImgHeal and generic face filters. Generic tools use heavy generative hallucination that swaps ancestral eyes and smiles with modern stock photo faces. ImgHeal is constrained by conservative restoration thresholds, strictly enhancing existing facial geometry rather than inventing new features.
Can it restore faces in small or group photographs?+
Yes. ImgHeal automatically detects multiple faces across group family portraits, wedding gatherings, and school photographs, applying individualized super-resolution enhancement to each face independently.
Can I restore old portrait faces for free?+
Yes. Every new account receives 3 complimentary full-resolution restorations. You can upload any portrait, preview before-and-after results, and download uncompressed masters completely free.
What scanning resolution works best for face recovery?+
Scan wallet prints or small portraits at 600 DPI to 1200 DPI. Even if the scan appears blurry to the naked eye, higher scanner DPI provides vital micro-pixel cues that enable our AI models to recover maximum sharpness.
