Damage repair
Repair a torn, cracked or water-damaged photo
Tears through a face, a crease across the whole print, water stains, mould, a missing corner: this is the damage people assume cannot be fixed without a retoucher and a week of waiting. NNC Restore repairs it in one pass, rebuilds the missing areas from the surrounding image and keeps the person exactly as they were. Heavily damaged photos get a dedicated Premium Repair pass. About two minutes, $5 for one photo.


Cracks, tears and stains repaired in a single pass. Drag to compare.
Damage the repair pass handles
- Tears and rips, including ones that cross a face or run edge to edge.
- Cracks and creases from folding, with the emulsion lifted or flaking.
- Water stains, tide marks and colour bleed from damp storage.
- Mould spots, foxing and chemical stains.
- Missing corners and small holes, reconstructed from the surrounding picture.
- Tape marks, pen marks and glue residue on the surface of the print.
Three steps, no scanner needed

Photograph or scan the photo
A phone photo of the print is enough: lay it flat in daylight and shoot from above. Restore finds the photo in the frame, crops it and straightens the perspective. Scans and existing digital files work too (JPG, PNG, HEIC up to 15 MB).

Check the crop, then start
You see exactly what will be restored before anything is charged. Heavily damaged photos are offered a Premium Repair pass.

Download in about two minutes
Full-resolution file, no watermark, 2K on every plan and 4K on Pro and Ultimate. It stays private in your account and you can download it again any time.
What stays the same, on purpose
- The face, expression, eyes, hair and age.
- Glasses, jewellery, hats, uniforms and every other detail they wore.
- The framing and the people in the picture. Nothing is added, nothing is removed.
Restoration is AI-assisted. Small deviations can happen. If a face has changed or the result is unusable, we re-run it free. If it still fails, we refund that photo. We can't refund a successful restoration just because of taste. Your first purchase is covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Questions people ask before their first photo
Can it repair a tear that goes through the face?
Usually yes. The repair pass reconstructs the missing area from the surrounding image and keeps the facial structure that is still visible. If the face is mostly gone, the result will be an honest reconstruction, not a guess at a new person; in that case we tell you before you pay for a Premium Repair.
What is the Premium Repair pass?
A slower, more thorough restoration model for heavily damaged photos. Restore measures the damage on upload and offers it when the standard pass would not be enough. If a result is unusable, we run it again at no charge.
Should I try to clean or flatten the photo first?
No. Do not tape, iron or wet the print. Photograph it as it is, flat, in daylight; the repair works on the image, not the physical print, and fragile emulsion is easy to damage further.
Will the face still look like them?
Yes. The restoration keeps every face, expression, age and accessory exactly as in the original. It repairs damage and returns natural colour; it does not beautify, re-age or re-imagine anyone.
Do I need a subscription?
No. One photo costs $5, pay as you go. If you have a box of photos, a monthly plan from $9.99 is cheaper per photo, and credits you buy never expire.
Are my photos private?
Photos are private to your account, transferred and stored encrypted, never used to train any model and never shared. Originals are deleted automatically 30 days after a finished restoration; you can delete anything sooner.
What if the result is not right?
If a face has changed or the result is unusable, we re-run it free. If it still fails, we refund that photo. We can't refund a successful restoration just because of taste. Your first purchase is covered by a 7-day money-back guarantee. Write to support@nncvision.com.
