Restore a Damaged Photo

Works with: Gemini · ChatGPT (any AI image editor)

Repair scratches, tears and fading while keeping every face true to the original.

Restore this old damaged photograph. Repair scratches, tears, stains and faded areas. Keep every person's exact facial features and expressions unchanged — do not invent or alter faces. Sharpen soft details gently, recover natural contrast, and keep the authentic character of the original photo without making it look artificially modern.

How to use it

1. Open Gemini or ChatGPT and attach your photo.
2. Paste the prompt below — tweak details like clothing or setting if you like.
3. If the face drifts, add: 'Do not alter my facial features in any way.'
4. Save the result — then animate it with a Step 2 prompt.
