What restore means for users
Old photo restore AI aims to repair print damage and recover faded tone while keeping people recognizable and composition faithful to the original.
Restoration vs remake
A remake invents a modern portrait. A restore clarifies what the print already contains. RenderHarbor’s restore flow is restoration-first.
Tip: If faces look like different people, discard the result—identity lock failed.
