What the AI Photo Enhancer can do
Restore blurry, low-quality and old faces so people look clear again.
Face restoration
The AI Photo Enhancer finds faces in your photo and rebuilds them with sharper eyes, clearer skin and defined features. It is built for faces rather than scenery.
Old and damaged portraits
Scanned prints from family albums often have soft, grainy faces. The enhancer brings back facial detail so relatives look clearer than in the faded original.
Mild overall upscaling
The whole photo is also enlarged slightly during restoration, so the result is a little bigger. The main improvement, though, is concentrated on the people rather than the background.
One click, no prompt
There is nothing to describe or tune before you start. Upload the photo, click Enhance and the GFPGAN model handles the restoration on its own.
Two credits per photo
Each enhancement costs 2 credits, and the cost is shown before you start. If the job fails, the credits are refunded to your account automatically.
Private by default
Enhanced photos are private and kept in My Creations, which matters for personal family pictures. You can download them again whenever you need another copy.
Ways people use it
Photos where the faces matter most.
Restore family album photos
Scan an old print of grandparents or a wedding and bring the faces back before sharing copies with relatives or printing a memorial photo.
Fix soft phone portraits
Rescue a selfie or group shot that came out slightly out of focus or grainy in low light, so the faces look sharp enough to post.
Revive old profile pictures
Improve a small, compressed headshot copied from an old account or chat app before using it as a profile picture again.
Prepare portraits for print
Enhance faces in a small portrait before framing it or adding it to a photo book, where soft eyes and skin become very noticeable.
How to enhance a photo
Restore faces in three steps.
Upload a portrait
Add a JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF or HEIC file up to 10 MB. Scan old prints flat, or photograph them straight on in even light.
Click Enhance
The 2 credit cost is shown first. The AI detects each face and restores it, which usually takes under a minute.
Compare and download
Compare the eyes and skin with the original, then download the enhanced photo. A private copy stays in My Creations.
Tips for better restorations
Getting the most out of face restoration.
Scan prints instead of re-photographing
A flat scan avoids glare and distortion. If you must use a phone, shoot straight on in daylight without flash to keep reflections off the print.
Use it where people matter
Landscapes, buildings and documents without people gain little here. For those images, the AI Image Upscaler is the better choice.
Colorize after enhancing
For black-and-white family photos, restore the faces first, then run the result through the AI Photo Colorizer to add natural colors.
Check likeness on badly damaged faces
When a face is tiny or heavily damaged, the AI rebuilds a lot. Compare with the original and keep whichever looks more like the person.

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF and HEIC images up to 10 MB are supported. Scans of old prints work well as long as the faces are visible and the image is not too dark.

Only slightly. The restoration targets faces, and the rest of the image just gets mild upscaling. For landscapes, products or artwork without people, the AI Image Upscaler gives clearly better results.
