Photo restoration

Restore a photo with a damaged face

When part of a face is torn, scratched out or eaten by mold, the bot rebuilds it. Because the missing area has no data, the rebuilt part is the AI's invention and may not look like the person. This page is for cases where the damage is heavy.

How to do it

Send the scan as a file (document). In the caption describe the person and damage: "restore the missing part of the face, man in his 50s, keep the hair and the suit".

Rebuilt is different from recovered

Where the original still shows a faint outline of the eye or the lip, the bot follows it and the result can stay close to the person. Where nothing is left, the AI builds a typical face that fits the age, the pose and the lighting. It will look natural. It can look like someone else. Call it a reconstruction, and label it as one if you share it.

Helping the result along

The caption matters more here than anywhere else. Give the age range, hair, beard or glasses, and what the person wore. If you have a second picture, mention the features that picture shows. A rerun with better hints costs the same as the first run and often lands closer. If the face still feels wrong, keep the rest of the repair and let someone retouch the face by hand.

Before you print or share

Open the file at full size and check the eyes first, then the mouth and the hairline. For a frame, a memorial or a funeral program, show it to a relative before it is printed. The bot does not print and does not retouch passport or ID photos. It returns an image at a good resolution for screens and small prints, so check for smearing at large sizes.

Tips

Mention age, hair and features you remember in the caption. That gives the AI direction.
Ask a relative who knew the person to look at the result.
Keep the original scan and the restored file together, with a note on which is which.
Do not print a memorial copy before a close relative has approved the face.

Questions and answers

Will the face look like my relative?

If a faint trace of the face remains, often close. If most is missing, the result may not look like the person.

Can I give the bot another photo of the person?

The mode works from one photo. Use the caption to describe features from other pictures.

Is a rerun free?

No. A rerun is charged like a new run, 2 credits.

Is it safe to print the result?

Check carefully first and show a relative who knew the person.

Can the bot fix an ID photo?

No. It does not retouch passport or ID photos.

What the bot does not do

Does not print photos and does not retouch passport or ID photos.
Does not promise a fixed pixel size. Check the result at full size before printing.
Heavily damaged faces are reconstructed by AI and may not look like the person. Compare with another photo.
Does not make video or animate the photo.
