What types of damage can be repaired?

A model may help with scratches, tears, fading, discolouration, water damage, noise, blur or missing areas. Results vary with the photo and selected model; reconstructed areas may not match the original details.

Does it work with old black-and-white photos?

You can use a black-and-white or colour photo as input. Depending on the selected model and prompt, you can ask it to improve the image or add colour; results may vary.

Will it preserve the original character?

You can ask the model to retain the photo's original composition and vintage look, but results vary and details or style may change.

What resolution is the output?

Output resolution depends on the selected model and its available settings. For example, Nano Banana Pro offers 1K, 2K and 4K options; check the model settings before generating.

Can it fix severely damaged photos?

You can try a severely damaged photo, but results depend on the image and model. Missing or unclear details may be reconstructed inaccurately, and another attempt may produce a different result.

How long does restoration take?

Generation time varies by model, image and service conditions. Check History for the result if generation takes longer than expected.

Is my photo data secure?

Reference images may be processed by the selected provider, and storage depends on the published account and storage policy. Review that policy before uploading sensitive photos.

Can I restore scanned photos?

Scanned prints, negatives and photos of printed photographs can be used as input, subject to the selected model's supported upload settings.
