Photo Scratch Remover FAQ

How does AI remove scratches from photos?

Our AI uses specialized damage detection algorithms trained on thousands of damaged photographs to remove scratches from photos automatically. It identifies scratches, tears, stains, and other physical damage by analyzing pixel patterns, then applies generative inpainting to reconstruct the original image content beneath the damage. The model distinguishes between intentional image content and damage artifacts with over 95% accuracy.

Can it fix heavily damaged photos with deep tears?

Yes. Our AI handles everything from minor surface scratches to deep tears, water damage, and heavy creasing. For tears that cross over faces or important details, the AI uses semantic understanding to reconstruct meaningful content rather than just blurring. The results maintain consistency with the surrounding image in terms of tone, grain, and detail.

Should I scan my old photo before uploading?

Yes, scanning is recommended for best results. Use a flatbed scanner at 300 DPI or higher. If a scanner is not available, you can photograph the old photo with a modern smartphone camera in good lighting. Avoid flash, as it can create reflections that the AI might misinterpret as damage.

Will the restored photo look authentic or overly processed?

When you remove scratches from photos with our AI, it preserves the authentic character of the vintage photograph. It maintains the original grain structure, tonal range, and aging characteristics while removing only the physical damage. The goal is a photo that looks undamaged, not one that looks digitally processed.
