Will my old family photos really look natural after restoration?

Yes. The model is tuned for photographic fidelity — faces are reconstructed with realistic skin tone, clothing keeps period-appropriate textures, and the background damage is removed without painting over the actual photograph. Heirloom-grade restorations stay believable rather than over-processed.

Can I colorize black-and-white photos?

Yes. Upload any B&W photo and ask for colorization — the model picks period-appropriate tones (1930s sepia warmth, 1960s film color, modern natural), not auto-saturated cartoon colors. For best results, mention the era in your prompt.

What about blurry phone shots? Can it really save them?

It can fix mild-to-moderate motion blur and out-of-focus areas. Heavily corrupted photos (where almost no detail is recoverable) won't work — but a slightly shaky selfie or out-of-focus action shot usually comes back into focus cleanly.

What input formats and sizes are supported?

JPG or PNG, up to 5MB. Larger inputs are auto-resized server-side before processing. Output resolution matches the input aspect ratio — no forced crops.

Is it free? How does pricing work?

This tool uses credits based on the selected model and options. The separate Z-Image Turbo free tier allows 1 generation per day for visitors and 3 per day for registered free accounts; it may not apply to this tool. Any promotional welcome credits show their amount and expiry in your account. Current plans and packs are confirmed on the Pricing page and before checkout.

Can I use the restored photos commercially?

Yes. You own the outputs and can use them in family albums, gifts, exhibitions, social posts, and any commercial work. You're responsible for ensuring you own or have rights to the original input image.

Why yeha.ai Photo Restoration

Family portraits, childhood snaps, ancestral prints — face restoration powered by CodeFormer rescues them in seconds without Photoshop.

True Face Restoration

Faces are reconstructed with realistic skin tone and detail, not blurred-up. Hair strands, eye expressions, and features all return.

Period-Correct Colorize

Black-and-white prints get colorized with era-appropriate tones — 1930s sepia, 1960s warm film, modern natural — not garish auto-color.

Motion + Focus Fix

Blurry handheld shots and out-of-focus moments come back into focus. Tested on selfies, action shots, and night cityscapes.

Damage Removal

Scratches, creases, dust spots, and yellowing are removed from the print itself — the photograph looks freshly developed.
