Photo Restoration
Denoise + contrast + sharpen for faded scans. Will not rebuild missing pieces.
Photo Restoration is its own job in the catalog (photo): Denoise + contrast + sharpen for faded scans. Will not rebuild missing pieces. It is not a copy of the resizer or converter with a new title — the operation is “enhance”.

Light blur denoise. Not a camera RAW processor.

Drag a box over a face. That patch is pixelated. No automatic face detection.

Photo Restoration runs in this browser with Canvas. The file is not uploaded to imagecropx. Close the tab and the copy in memory is gone.
What this is not
Canvas filters are not a cloud “AI restore.” Faded scans can look a bit cleaner; missing corners are not invented.
How to use Photo Restoration
- Choose a file for Photo Restoration. It stays on this device.

Questions about this tool
Is this a neural model?
No. These tools use canvas filters. Quality is honest, not a cloud model.
Does Photo Restoration upload my file?
No. Processing is in this browser.
Can I use this on a phone?
Yes, with the same file-size cap (about 25 MB). A large photo is slower on a phone CPU than on a laptop.
Does Photo Restoration upload the file?
No. This tool runs in the tab. See Privacy for decoder notes (HEIC, PDF.js worker).
What is the file size cap?
About 25 MB per file. Very large pixel counts are rejected so the tab stays responsive.
