YaadRestore AI: Old-Photo Restoration That Never Uploads Your Photos
A web app that restores old family photos entirely in the visitor's browser. It repairs fading, dust and scratches, restores faces, fills larger tears, and can add colour, without the photo ever leaving the device.
Family photos should not have to leave the house.
Most photo restoration services ask you to upload your photos to someone else's server. For family photos, many people would rather not. YaadRestore runs the AI models inside the browser instead.
From light repair to large tears.
Fading, contrast, dust, small scratches and sharpening.
Faces are detected and restored, with a faces-only mode.
The user paints over the damage and the model fills it.
Optional, and always saved as a separate, labelled copy.
Print and screen sizes with face-aware cropping; batches with pause, cancel, retry and ZIP download.
The browser does the work.
What running AI in a browser teaches you.
A processor fallback means the app works everywhere, just more slowly.
Colour is added to a separate copy, because colourisation is a guess, not a restoration.
Not uploading photos is simpler to promise when there is no server to upload to.
