A faded portrait
Public-domain portrait with simulated patchy fading from age and light exposure. AI restoration uses this faded input.


Compare the eyes, beard and hat edge. Clearer contrast does not prove that facial details are more accurate.
Compare original and restored images across public-domain photographs and generated scenes. Explore scratches, creases, fading and missing details.
These reference cases show the balance we aim for: clearer detail, repaired damage, and the same familiar people.
Public-domain studies and generated scenes show simulated damage and AI repair. Results vary by photo.
