What this tool actually does

Old photos often lose contrast, pick up a color cast, or get grainy from scanning. This tool gives you real, adjustable controls to fix that: exposure and shadow recovery to bring back detail lost in dark areas, noise reduction to soften scan grain, and sharpening to bring back edges that faded over time. Tone presets add a black & white, sepia or vintage look with one click, at whatever intensity you want.

Nothing here is automatic guesswork: every slider does exactly what it says, and you can compare the result against the original at any point before downloading. Everything runs in your browser, the photo is never uploaded anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Will this fix a badly damaged or torn photo?

This tool improves tone, noise and sharpness, but it doesn't repair physical damage like tears, scratches or missing pieces, that needs manual retouching.

How large can the photo be?

It works well up to about 2200 pixels on the long edge. Bigger photos are automatically scaled down to keep things fast.

Does it use AI?

No. Every adjustment is a real, transparent image-processing technique (levels, blur, sharpening kernel) running locally, not a black-box AI model.
