What does face restoration improve?

It improves facial details such as eyes, lips, skin contours and edges in blurry, compressed or low-resolution portraits.

Can it restore faces in old photos?

Yes. It can improve visible faces in many old or low-quality photos, although severe damage or missing details may not be recovered exactly.

Does face restoration change identity?

The tool aims to preserve identity, but very poor input quality may cause some reconstructed facial details to differ from the original person.

Restore old and damaged photos online

Tool67 Old Photo Restore improves the full photograph rather than focusing only on faces. It enhances overall detail, reduces visible scratches and surface damage, restores faded contrast, and then improves detected faces for a cleaner final image.

What this tool can improve

Faded contrast and weak detail across old photographs
Visible scratches, dust marks and surface damage
Soft or compressed scans of printed family photos
Blurry or poorly defined faces in portraits and group photos
Older images that need a cleaner digital copy for sharing or archiving

How the restoration process works

The image is first enhanced across the full frame to recover cleaner edges and texture. Scratch restoration is then applied, followed by face restoration and gentle brightness and contrast correction. The final result is saved as a high-quality image while preserving the original composition.

Important limitations

Very large missing areas, fully hidden faces, unreadable text and severely torn sections cannot always be reconstructed accurately. Restoration may create plausible detail where the original information is no longer available, so important historical images should always be compared with the source.

Can it remove scratches?

It includes a scratch-processing stage designed to reduce visible scratches and surface damage.

Does it restore the whole photo or only faces?

It enhances the full image first, then applies a separate face restoration stage to visible faces.

Will it colorize black-and-white photos?

No. This version restores quality and faces but does not add color.
