An AI example with fictional people. Your result depends on your photo and the app you use.

Old Photo Restoration

Good for old family photos. Keep the original safe, because AI can invent small details.

Customise this prompt

Ratio

Edit the uploaded photo. Keep every person's face, expression, body shape and identity exactly as they are. Restore this old damaged photograph. Remove scratches, creases, stains and fading. Gently sharpen details and recover natural contrast. Add realistic, period-appropriate colour to skin, clothes and background. Do not modernise the clothing, hairstyle or setting. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, realistic hands, no text, no watermark. Aspect ratio 4:5.

How to use it

  1. Customise it if you like, choose a ratio, then copy the prompt.
  2. Open Gemini or ChatGPT and attach a clear, front-facing photo.
  3. Paste and send. If the face drifts, reply: “restore the face exactly as in my photo.”

The face changed

Keep this exact image, but restore the face to match my uploaded photo exactly: same eyes, nose, lips, jawline and skin tone.

Hands look wrong

Keep everything the same, but fix the hands so each one has five natural fingers in a relaxed position.

Looks too smooth or fake

Keep the same image, but make the skin look real, with natural texture and pores, and no beauty filter.

Too dark

Keep the same image, but make it brighter, with the face clearly lit and natural skin tones.
