What it can repair

Built for the photos that only exist on paper.

Scratches and creases

Physical damage is detected and rebuilt without touching the rest of the image.

Faded colors

Decades of fading are reversed — contrast and tone come back to life.

Blurry faces

Faces are sharpened with identity preserved — no uncanny AI look.

Water damage and stains

Spots and discoloration are cleaned while original texture is kept.

Low-resolution scans

Small prints and old scans are upscaled with detail, up to 4× sharper.

Blurry modern photos too

The same HD Restore engine fixes motion blur and soft focus in recent shots.

Qutu HD Restore sharpening a blurry photo — faces, text and detail enhanced — The HD Restore engine also sharpens blurry everyday photos — faces, text and low-res areas.

Frequently asked questions

Will faces stay true to the original person?

Yes. The restoration model is tuned to recover detail while preserving identity — it repairs what is there rather than inventing a new face.

Can it fix tears, scratches and stains?

Yes. Physical damage such as creases, tears, spots and water stains is detected and reconstructed automatically.

What resolution do I get back?

Restored photos are saved in HD — small or low-resolution originals are upscaled up to 4× sharper.

Is it free to use?

You can start free — no account needed on iPhone. Free results include a small watermark; Qutu Pro removes it and unlocks unlimited restores.

What happens to my photos?

Photos are uploaded only for the duration of the restore and deleted automatically within 48 hours. See our privacy policy for details.
