Everyone has some old photos at home, or they accidentally shook their hands when taking pictures, resulting in unclear faces. As AI technology becomes more and more powerful, there are now some free tools that can repair this situation. The restorePhotos.io recommended in this article is one of them. The effect is very good. After uploading the photos, the blurred faces will become clear instantly. In my actual test, the face mosaic of the photos can also be repaired, and you can use it without registration.
restorePhotos.io is a free online tool that uses AI to make faces shaken, blurred, and old photos clear.
restorePhotos.io does not require registration to start using, it is completely free, and the downloaded photos are also high-resolution.

I’m not sure if there are any restrictions on the size and format of photos. The website has not specifically stated this. I am using JPG format photos and drag them into the window:
After the photo is uploaded, AI repair will start. Wait a few seconds and you will see the result. The original photo will be displayed on the left, and the repaired photo will be shown on the right. I have to say it is really amazing. The face becomes super clear, and the eyes are super bright. It feels even more interesting than the original photo without mosaics:
Click on the photo to enlarge it. The AI repair effect is really strong. The repaired face is not that smooth skin, but really looks like human skin. However, you can also know from this photo that if the non-face area is blurry, the AI will not repair it. Note that Ada’s neck, hair and the surrounding area of the face are still in a mosaic state, so it is not very clear. So to put it simply, this free online tool can only be used to repair the face that has been shaken, and there is nothing else it can do:
