Frequently Asked Questions about Old Photo Restore
How damaged can a photo be and still be restored by EdMyPic?
EdMyPic's Old Photo Restore tool handles scratches, tears, water damage, and heavy fading. For severely damaged images with more than 50% of the face obscured, results may vary, but partial reconstruction is usually possible.
Does EdMyPic automatically colorize black and white photos?
Yes - the Old Photo Restore tool includes automatic AI colorization. EdMyPic analyzes scene context (sky, skin, clothing) and applies realistic natural colors based on the period and content of the photo.
What file format should I upload for best restoration results?
Upload scanned photos as JPEG or PNG at 300 DPI or higher for the best Old Photo Restore output. EdMyPic works on digital photos of prints too, but physical scans yield sharper restored results.
Will my family members be recognizable after EdMyPic restores the photo?
EdMyPic's restoration AI is designed to reconstruct damaged areas while preserving identity. It fills scratches using surrounding context, so recognizable features like face shape and eyes are maintained.
Can I restore a photo that is already in color but looks faded?
Absolutely. EdMyPic's Old Photo Restore tool also handles faded color photos by analyzing the original color data and boosting vibrancy, contrast, and sharpness back to natural-looking modern quality.
