Nero AI Photo Restoration is an online web service that uses AI models to restore, enhance and colorize old black-and-white and broken photos. Users can choose the restoration effects they want, and after the restoration, it can make your photos look brand new.

Choose a restoration model
You can select between Restore+, Natural+ and Classic models:
· Natural+ (Recommended) - Natural restoration with softer colors and preserved facial details. Restores old photos with advanced scratch repair, natural colorization, face enhancement, and AI denoising.
· Restore+ (Recommended) – Includes advanced scratch removal, color restoration, face enhancement, and AI denoising for more natural and detailed results.
· Classic – Supports scratch & damage repair, photo colorization, and facial enhancement.
Preview and download results
Once processing is complete, you can preview the restored image and download it instantly.
Older photos with blurred faces, black and white faces, minor scratches, and damages due to old age or other reasons can be processed by us.
However, we can't guarantee perfect restoration of photos with serious damage, such as the loss of all facial details, or the loss of all important parts of the content. Because our AI model will correlate the information around the damage to reason about the damaged area and regenerate the image of the damaged area, too severely damaged images may lead to distortion of the reasoning.
Nevertheless, we still hope to help restore those precious historical photos as much as possible, and we are continuously optimizing our model.
If you want to enhance other information in the photo and increase the resolution, you can go to Nero AI Image Upscaler, which provides a variety of models to enhance the details of different types of images.
We have integrated an API for this feature, and can support integrating our API into your own applications or code, designed for developers, click here for more information.
We offer 10 free trial Credits for new users. Image processing requires Credits, and for this page, Classic model consumes 2 Credits, Natural+ and Restore+ model consumes 4 Credits.
After you have used up your free Credits, you can refill here.
We offer AI Photo Enhancer & Upscaler - Nero Lens to mobile users. You can find your version above or in lens.nero.com.
