What does AI Photo Restoration do?
Restore faded colors and reduce visible damage in an older photograph with AI. Older photographs may have distracting scratches, faded colors, stains or scanning artifacts. AI may produce a visually refreshed variant. It is designed for people who need a focused, practical image workflow without moving between complicated editing panels.
CompIMG lets you keep the original image while making a new copy for the task at hand. This optional AI tool sends an image to the external provider selected by the site operator.

Recommended settings and image-quality tips
Restoration may change facial features or invent missing details. Do not treat generated features as authentic; no colorization is requested by this tool.
Generated details are plausible guesses, not guaranteed historical facts; keep the original scan. Use a small representative image to test settings before processing many files. Keep an untouched copy of the source so you can revisit quality, color and dimensions later.
Formats, limits and privacy
Common input types include JPEG/JPG, PNG and WebP. GIF processing uses the first frame, and SVG is safely rasterized before editing. AVIF availability depends on browser support. The requested output is PNG; if the browser cannot encode a chosen format, CompIMG displays an error rather than silently renaming the file.
This AI operation has a separate file-size limit and requires the configured cloud service and challenge verification.
Frequently asked questions about AI Photo Restoration
Will this tool work identically in every web browser?
Browser decoding, encoding and memory limits differ. Modern browsers support common image types; advanced output formats and large images vary by device.
Does AI Photo Restoration require signup or installation?
No account or desktop installation is required. You can access the tool from a modern browser on a desktop, laptop or compatible mobile device.
Does CompIMG change my original image?
No. The browser processes a separate copy and offers a new download. Your original local file remains unchanged unless you overwrite it manually after downloading.
Why might the output file be larger than my original?
Different image codecs, export settings, dimensions and source complexity affect size. Re-encoding an already-optimized image can increase its size. Always check the actual final file before deciding whether an export is useful.
Can I use the output on my website?
Yes, provided you own the source image or have the rights to publish it. Choose an appropriate image width, compression level and filename, and supply descriptive alternative text when publishing online.
