Photo repair, done in under a minute

What ‘photo repair’ actually involves

Photo repair is the process of removing physical damage from a photograph — scratches, cracks, tears, creases, stains, dust and fading — and reconstructing the parts of the image that have been lost. Done by hand in Photoshop, it’s slow, skilled work: a single badly-damaged photo can take a retoucher hours. Photo Repair Lab does the same job automatically, in under a minute, using AI trained specifically on damaged photographs.

It works on scanned prints and on digital images alike, so whether you’re searching for ‘photo repair’, ‘picture repair’ or ‘image repair’, you’re in the right place.

Repair without changing the memory

The most important thing about repairing a family photo is that the people still look like themselves. Our default Standard and Conservative modes are built to be faithful — they target the damage and leave identity and period detail intact. You can step up to Comprehensive for severe damage, or add natural colourisation, but nothing dramatic happens unless you ask for it.

Not happy with a result? Re-run it with different settings — and because failed jobs auto-refund, you only ever pay for a repair you keep.

From repair to finished, printable photo

After repair you can upscale the image so it prints sharply at large sizes, and download a high-resolution file ready to print, share or frame. Start with 20 free credits — enough to repair your first photo on us, no card required.
