How It Works
Faded photo repair targets one of the most common forms of photographic deterioration: the gradual loss of color density and contrast caused by prolonged light exposure, chemical instability in print materials, and improper storage conditions. Over time, dyes in photographic prints break down — reds shift toward pink, blues wash out, and the entire image takes on a flat, milky appearance. Our AI restoration engine reverses this process by analyzing the remaining color information and intelligently reconstructing the original tonal balance. The system understands how different photographic processes (C-prints, Kodachrome, Ektachrome) fade differently and applies era-specific correction curves. Beyond simple contrast boosting, the AI performs selective color channel reconstruction, bringing depth back to shadows and richness to highlights while preserving the authentic character of the original photograph.
Common Questions
Can AI restore completely faded photos?+
Even severely faded photos retain trace color information invisible to the human eye. Our AI amplifies and reconstructs these traces to restore remarkably accurate colors.
Will the colors look accurate after repair?+
The AI uses era-specific color science to match how photos from different decades originally looked. It applies historically informed palettes rather than generic color boosting.
Does faded photo repair work on both prints and scans?+
Yes. Whether you scan a physical print or upload a photo of the print, the AI detects and corrects fading regardless of how the image was digitized.
