FAQs for AI Photo Restoration
Expert answers for saving your precious memories.
Can it fix a photo that is torn in half?
It handles rips and tears very well by using "inpainting" technology to guess what the missing parts should look like based on the surrounding area.
Does it work on black and white photos?
Yes! It not only restores the sharpness but can also optionally colorize the image to make it look modern.
Will it make the face look fake?
No. PicYou AI uses identity-preserving enhancement that sharpens existing features without altering the person's fundamental look.
Can I fix blurry photos?
Yes, the "deblur" feature is specifically designed to correct motion blur and out-of-focus lenses common in older cameras.
Is my privacy protected?
Absolutely. We understand these are personal family treasures. All processing is encrypted, and images are not stored permanently.
Can I print the result?
Yes, the restoration process includes upscaling, meaning the final file is often high enough quality to print at 4x6 or 8x10 sizes.
