Review notes
Restore a damaged or blurry face without changing who the person is.
Keep the result you need
Try included access first, then use non-expiring credits for additional restoration or upgrade for regular photo work.
No prompt or model research is required for the focused enhancement actions.
See the generated result in the existing GizAI media workspace before choosing the next edit or export action.
Episodic restoration can use non-expiring credits; regular photo work can use a plan.
Enhancement cannot recover unknowable detail
Severely blurred or damaged facial details may be reconstructed incorrectly. Compare the result with other known photos.
Colorization is a plausible visual treatment, not evidence of the original historical colors.
SeedVR2 output is capped at 12MP. Use the smallest upscale factor that meets the final use.

Old photo restoration FAQ
Which enhancement should I choose?
Use Enhance & Upscale for a general image, Restore old portrait when a face is the main subject, and Colorize for a black-and-white or faded image.
Can I try it free?
The selected model card and action show current included access before generation. Paid runs can use non-expiring credits without requiring a subscription.
Will restoration preserve the exact face?
Not always. Face restoration reconstructs missing detail, so compare the result against a known reference before relying on it.
Can I make a 4K image?
Use the available upscale factor within the 12MP output cap, then inspect the full-resolution result before export.
