FAQs About Our AI Old Photo Restoration

AI Old Photo Restoration is a CreateVision tool that repairs damaged, faded and aged photographs. It removes scratches, tears and stains, makes faces clearer and colorizes black-and-white photos with natural tones.

The best one repairs damage, restores faces and adds believable color in a single step. CreateVision does all three with Seedream 5 Pro, offers four presets for different kinds of damage, and charges a flat 50 credits per result.

The AI reads the damage in your photo and rebuilds the missing or scratched areas from the surrounding detail. It sharpens faces, reduces grain and applies era-appropriate color to skin, clothing and backgrounds.

Scratches, tears, creases, water stains, fading, yellowing, dust spots and general wear. The AI also restores unclear faces. For best results, upload a flat, evenly lit scan or photo of the print without glare.

Each restored photo costs 50 credits. You can start with the 200 free credits you get once when you sign up with Google, which covers four restorations. Subscriptions and credit packs add more credits.

Your uploads and results are private by default and are not shown in public galleries unless you choose to share them. Only upload photos you own or have permission to restore. Free-plan downloads carry a small CreateVision watermark, which subscribers and credit-pack buyers can turn off.

When a face or object is badly torn or faded, the AI has to infer what was there, so small details may differ from the original. Colors are a best estimate, since a black-and-white photo holds no color data. Try a cleaner scan or a different preset if a result looks off.
