Frequently Asked Questions About Old Photo Restoration

What file formats can I upload for photo restoration?
JPG, PNG, and WebP formats are fully supported. For best results, we recommend uploading high-resolution scans at 300 DPI or above — higher-quality source images give the AI more detail to work with during restoration. If you only have a printed photo, scan it flat at 600 DPI for optimal restoration quality before uploading it to our online tool. Photos taken with modern smartphone cameras also work well, as long as the original printed photo is well-lit and free of glare when photographed.
How long does it take to restore old photos?
Most photos are restored in under 30 seconds. Processing time depends on image resolution and file size — smaller files process faster, while larger, high-resolution source images may take slightly longer but produce noticeably better results. We recommend uploading the highest quality version available so the AI photo restoration model has maximum detail to work with. Batch processing of multiple photos may take a bit longer, but each photo is processed in parallel for maximum speed.
Is my photo privacy protected during the restoration process?
Yes. Photos are processed securely and stored locally in your browser — you can view, download, or delete them anytime from My Photos. We do not retain uploaded images on our servers after processing completes. Unlike other AI photo restoration services that may store your data, PixRestorer uses temporary processing: once your restored image is ready, the original is removed from our servers automatically. See our privacy policy for full details.
Can I restore old damaged photos with scratches and tears?
Yes. Our AI photo restoration tool is specifically trained to handle physical damage including scratches, creases, tears, and fold marks. It reconstructs missing details by analyzing surrounding pixel patterns and context. For heavily damaged areas, the AI intelligently fills in gaps while preserving the original look and feel of the photo. Whether your old photo has minor surface scratches or significant tears, the restoration AI adapts to the severity of damage and produces natural-looking results. Upload your damaged photo and see the results in under 30 seconds — no manual editing required.
What is the best way to restore old photos online?
AI-powered tools like PixRestorer offer the fastest and most affordable way to restore old photos online. Unlike traditional photo editing software that requires manual retouching skills, our AI handles scratches, fading, blur, and color loss automatically. Simply upload your photo, and the restoration completes in seconds. You can also batch-process up to 10 photos at once — ideal for digitizing an entire family photo album. PixRestorer runs directly in your browser with no downloads needed, and your photos are never stored on our servers after processing. For black-and-white photos, try our AI photo colorizer to bring them to life with realistic colors.
