Bring old, blurry or low-quality photos back to life. Upload a picture and the AI restores faces and sharpens detail — right in your browser. Free, no sign-up, no install.
CodeFormer specialises in faces, so clear front-facing portraits restore best.
Enable Background Enhance and Face Upsample in the panel for the fullest result.
The first launch may take up to a minute while the GPU warms up. After that it's faster.
No photo-editing skills needed — the model repairs faces and detail for you.
Drop in the scanned, blurry or damaged picture you want to fix.
The model restores faces, sharpens detail and can upscale the result.
Preview the restored photo and download it to keep or share.
Revive faded prints of relatives and old family moments.
Clean up scans of physical photos that have lost sharpness.
Fix distorted or soft faces in AI-generated images.
The restoration tool is built around faces. It's based on CodeFormer, a model designed to rebuild facial detail in old, blurry or low-quality portraits, so scanned family photos, soft selfies and even distorted AI-generated faces see the biggest improvement. Landscapes and text-heavy images benefit far less.
For the best result, upload the clearest version you have and turn on Background Enhance and Face Upsample in the panel — these clean up the area around the face and enlarge the output at the same time. If you're working from a physical print, scan it at as high a resolution as you can rather than photographing it with a phone.
Restoration reconstructs detail rather than revealing what was truly captured, so a very damaged photo will look cleaner but not identical to the original scene — that's normal for any AI restorer. Because the underlying model is licensed for non-commercial use, restored images are best kept for personal and family projects. Want the result larger? Send it to the Image Upscaler afterwards.
Yes — free with no account, supported by ads on the page. It runs on shared GPU infrastructure, so it can queue at busy times.
Photos with faces. CodeFormer is a face-restoration model, so old portraits, blurry selfies and AI-generated faces see the biggest improvement.
CodeFormer's licence is for non-commercial use, so restored images are best kept for personal projects — check the model licence before any commercial use.
The model runs on a GPU that starts on demand. The first launch can take up to a minute while it warms up; later runs are faster.
