Use this page for water damaged photo restoration, stained family photo repair, flood damaged picture cleanup, and old print recovery.
Water damage is different from normal fading
Fading usually affects the whole image, while water damage can create uneven stains, washed-out patches, and texture problems. Some parts may restore well while other areas remain limited.
That is why a preview is important. You can see the realistic result instead of paying before you know how much detail survives.
Best source image for stained photos
Use a dry, flat scan if the print can be handled safely. If scanning is not possible, take a sharp phone photo in soft light without glare.
Upload the full photo rather than only the stained area. The surrounding clean details help the repair stay more consistent.
What to check in the preview
Look at faces, clothing edges, background texture, and whether stains were softened without making the picture look artificial.
If the preview restores the important memory clearly enough, you can unlock the final image. If not, you have not paid upfront.
