Overview
What photo restoration helps you do
Start from a focused image goal, then continue in the studio when you are ready to create the finished result.
Photo restoration is for images with personal, archival, or historical value that need careful repair rather than a heavy makeover.
Megick lets users describe the exact damage, preserve identity, and continue with colorization or enhancement when the restored image needs more work.

FAQ
Photo Restoration FAQ
Can AI restore old family photos?
AI can often improve old photos by reducing damage, improving contrast, and rebuilding some visible detail. Identity accuracy should always be reviewed by the user.
Can it repair scratches and cracks?
Yes, many scratches, folds, cracks, and stains can be reduced when the surrounding image still provides enough context.
Should I colorize during restoration?
Often it is better to restore first, then colorize as a second step so the structure is clean before color is added.
