Repair torn and ripped photographs
Tears, rips, missing corners, and pieces lost down the back of an album — our AI reconstructs them with context-aware repair, in seconds rather than hours.
From 10 credits ($1.00) per photo · 12-month validity
How it works
From upload to download in three simple steps.
1. Upload
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. The clearer the original scan, the better the result.
2. AI processes
Our AI analyses your photo and applies the appropriate model. Most jobs finish in under a minute.
3. Download
Compare before / after, then download the high-resolution result. Your originals are never used to train AI models.

Restored & ColourisedAI fills in what is missing
A torn photograph is the hardest type of damage for manual restoration — a retoucher has to hand-paint every missing pixel using the surrounding context. Our AI uses the same context-aware approach but does it in seconds. It analyses the intact area around a tear, predicts what the missing region should contain (sky, skin, fabric, background), and reconstructs the photograph as a single coherent image.
For best results, scan the photograph with all the torn pieces laid back into place. The AI works better when the broken pieces are present (even if separated) than when they are entirely missing — but it can handle both.
What we can and cannot reconstruct
We can reconstruct backgrounds, sky, fabric, hair, and general body shapes with high accuracy. We cannot reconstruct a face if the entire face is missing — the AI does not know what your grandmother looked like. If a tear runs across a face but most of the face is intact, the AI can complete the missing portion using the rest of the face as reference, which usually looks excellent.
