What this tool improves
AI Face & Old Photo Restoration (Free Tool)
NPGEN helps you restore old or low-quality photos using AI—especially portraits where faces look blurry, noisy, or lacking detail. Upload a photo, run restoration, and download a cleaner, more natural-looking result. No account required.
Best Use Cases
Old Family Photos
Bring back facial detail and clear up vintage scan grain.
Profile Pictures
Improve face sharpness for professional social profiles.
Blurry Portraits
Reduce softness and out-of-focus blur without over-processing.
Low-Res Shots
Make faces and details clearer in small screenshots.
How AI restoration works
The tool analyzes the portrait area and attempts to rebuild clearer facial features while keeping the photo natural. Instead of simply sharpening (which can create halos and artifacts), AI restoration enhances edges and textures in a more intelligent way.
Free & Privacy-Minded
NPGEN is free to use and doesn’t require signup. Your result is shown in your browser for easy download. For details about processing and retention, please review our Privacy Policy.
