Tip: 0.5–0.7 is the sweet spot. Lower for very damaged photos where you want bigger restorations; higher for slight touch-ups.
Uses CodeFormer (state-of-the-art face restoration) + Real-ESRGAN background upscale. Best on portraits with at least one visible face.
Restore old, scratched, or faded photos using AI. ImageSuite offers two restoration modes: a face-focused mode using CodeFormer (sczhou/codeformer) for portraits, and a full-image mode using Microsoft's "Bringing Old Photos Back to Life" (microsoft/bringing-old-photos-back-to-life) for damage like scratches, tears, and stains. Pick the mode that matches what your photo needs most.
Photo restoration is a Pro feature ($9/mo flat).
Scan or photograph it as cleanly as you can — flat-bed scans give the best results. JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Face mode (CodeFormer) for portrait-heavy photos. Damage mode (Microsoft) for tears, scratches, and stains.
If the photo is a portrait and the face matters most, pick face mode — CodeFormer is exceptional at recovering facial detail. If the photo has physical damage like creases or scratches, pick damage mode — the Microsoft model is trained specifically for that.
Some change is unavoidable — the AI is reconstructing detail that wasn't in the source. Face mode in particular can shift expression slightly. For irreplaceable family photos, also keep the unrestored original.
sczhou/codeformer for faces, microsoft/bringing-old-photos-back-to-life for damage. Both run via Replicate.
Restoration doesn't colorize. Use the dedicated AI Colorize tool (DDColor) for that, after restoring if needed.
