Repair visible damage while keeping the photo recognizable

Original issue
Surface marks, faded tones, weak contrast, and softened facial detail.
AI treatment
Reduce scratches and dust, restore tonal range, and improve visible detail.

IDENTITY PRESERVATION

Restore Details Without Replacing Reality.

Always keep the original alongside the restored version.

METHOD & LIMITS

What AI Can — and Cannot — Restore

Retouva improves visible detail and repairs common damage. It cannot recover information that no longer exists with guaranteed accuracy.

Good candidates for AI restoration

  • Scratches, dust, small creases, and light surface damage
  • Faded color, weak contrast, noise, and mild blur
  • Soft facial detail when recognizable information remains
  • Scanned photos and everyday pictures that need clearer detail

Severe damage may require estimation

When a photo contains extreme blur, hidden faces, illegible text, or large missing areas, AI may reconstruct details that were not present in the original.

Color is an AI interpretation

Generated color can make a black-and-white or faded photo easier to enjoy, but it should not be treated as verified historical color.

Review important details

Before printing or archiving, zoom in on faces, text, uniforms, jewelry, and historical details. Always keep the original photo with the restored version.

PRIVACY, MADE CLEAR
