How to fix a damaged photo
- Open PicFix, tap Restore.
- Choose the damaged photo, or snap a picture of the printed one.
- PicFix repairs tears, scratches, stains, and fading — pick Faithful to stay closest to the original.
- Preview the result free and compare before/after.
- Colorize if it’s black-and-white.
- Export in full quality — your original is kept.
Tip from restorers: photograph the damaged print flat, in even light, filling the frame — a sharp, well-lit input repairs far better than a dim, angled snapshot.
