Quick answer: when should you use AI Face Restoration?
Use Imagic AI Face Restoration when you need to repair blurry, compressed, scratched, or low-detail faces. It is best for old portraits, scanned family photos, and small faces damaged by compression. The core tool requires no signup and adds no watermark; files are uploaded to Imagic AI servers for processing.
I compare eyes, teeth, hairlines, and facial proportions at 100% zoom because generative restoration can invent plausible detail.
Which image tool should you pick?
| Job | Pick this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| old portraits, scanned family photos, and small faces damaged by compression | AI Face Restoration | It solves this job directly with the fewest settings. |
| the photo has no visible face or accurate documentary detail must be preserved exactly | Image Upscaler | That workflow changes a different property of the image. |
| Many files at once | Batch Processor | Batch mode keeps repeated work consistent and exports one ZIP. |
When does AI Face Restoration fail?
- It is not the right first step when the photo has no visible face or accurate documentary detail must be preserved exactly.
- For production publishing, inspect the downloaded image at 100% zoom before replacing the original file.
- Uploaded files are processed on Imagic AI servers. Depending on production configuration, a result may be returned inline or stored at a public CDN URL, so do not use the tool for confidential images.
