What it fixes
Restore old photos online without learning a photo editor
The demo is built for family prints, scans, and phone captures that need a quick quality check before you commit to a larger archive project. It works best on faded color photos, black and white portraits, light scratches, dust marks, low contrast, and soft faces. For torn photos, missing corners, or heavy water damage, upload the clearest scan you have and inspect the preview closely before downloading.
