How It Works
Image restoration brings damaged, faded, or low-quality photos back to their original state.
You can remove scratches, smooth artifacts, sharpen blurry details, and recover natural colors. The Photo restoration Action does all of it for you: add your photo, choose whether to also colorize it, and generate. There is no prompt to write and no manual editing.

Restoring a Photo
Restoring a photo takes three steps, from adding your image to generating the fixed version.
Step 1. Open Photo Restoration and Add Your Photo
Log into getimg.ai and open Photo restoration. Add the photo you want to fix: upload it from your device, or select an image you have already saved in getimg.ai.
Step 2. Choose How to Restore
Pick one of two options: Just restore repairs the photo and keeps its original look, while Restore and colorize repairs it and adds natural color to a black and white or faded image. Then set the output quality to 1K, 2K, or 4K, depending on how large you need the result.
Step 3. Generate
Click Generate to start the restoration.
Your restored version appears as a new image, while the original stays untouched, so you can try the other option whenever you like.
