What the AI Image Restoration app is for

Use this workflow when the image already exists and the main job is repair, cleanup, face recovery, colorization, denoising, or deblurring rather than broader prompt-based image generation.

Why this restoration workflow is separate

Five restoration workflows in one focused app

This app groups general photo repair, face restoration, colorization, denoising, deblurring, and stereo super-resolution into one single-image workflow with dedicated model tabs.

  • FLUX Restore for broad old-photo repair and colorization
  • CodeFormer and GFPGAN for face restoration
  • DDColor for grayscale colorization
  • NAFNet for denoise, deblur, and stereo tasks

Before-and-after review in one place

Once the output is ready, the app shifts into a side-by-side comparison so you can inspect the original image and the restored result without leaving the workflow.

  • Centered upload first
  • Original image on one side
  • Restored result on the other

Task-specific controls instead of a generic prompt form

Each model tab exposes the actual controls that matter for restoration, like fidelity, denoise task type, colorization model size, or output format.

  • Schema-aligned image input
  • Fixed low-cost and premium options
  • Optional stereo-pair support for NAFNet

AI Image Restoration use cases

This app works best when cleanup and recovery are the main task, not a side effect of image generation.

Archive and family photo recovery

Repair older photographs with scratches, blur, faded detail, or missing color before preservation or sharing.

Portrait and avatar cleanup

Recover faces from compressed, low-quality, or AI-generated images before reuse in profiles, thumbnails, or marketing assets.

Preprocessing for creative and commercial work

Denoise, deblur, or colorize images before moving into compositing, upscaling, background removal, or broader image editing workflows.

How to use the AI Image Restoration app

Upload one image, choose the right restoration model, then compare the original and restored output in one place.

Upload one source image

Start by uploading a single photo or image that needs repair, face restoration, colorization, denoising, or deblurring.

Choose the restoration model

Pick FLUX Restore, CodeFormer, GFPGAN, DDColor, or NAFNet above the workload, then adjust the small set of model-specific controls before you run.

Review and download the result

Compare the uploaded image with the restored output, then download the result directly from the app.

How to choose the right restoration model

Choose FLUX Restore when the image needs a broad repair pass and you want one model that can clean damage, fix scratches, and colorize older images. Choose CodeFormer or GFPGAN when facial recovery is the highest priority and the job is mostly about portraits, headshots, avatars, or people in older photos.

Choose DDColor when the image is largely grayscale and the main task is realistic colorization. Choose NAFNet when the issue is more technical, such as noise, motion blur, or stereo super-resolution, rather than face repair or historical-photo restoration.

When to stay here versus move into other image tools

Stay in AI Image Restoration when the source image is already compositionally correct and the task is to recover quality from an existing file. This app is the shortest path from damaged input to a cleaner restored output.

Move into AI Upscaler when the next task is enlargement. Move into AI Remove Background when the next task is subject isolation. Move into the broader AI Image Generator when the repaired image still needs prompt-driven editing, compositing, or larger creative changes.

Commercial-use note for CodeFormer

Replicate currently marks the CodeFormer API as non-commercial. The tab is still available so you can compare outputs inside the app, but commercial usage should follow the model's stated license and restrictions.
