Supports 25+ Megapixels

Thanks to smart tiling technology, high resolutions are supported without excessive memory requirements. We tested SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher with images of up to 25 megapixels, and it won't break or cause out-of-memory errors.

AI Photo Restoration Software Made Simple

In the era of artificial intelligence, models refresh almost overnight, yet none is flawless on its own. SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher bundles the repair stack, presets, and guardrails so you are not babysitting every slider. Installation stays painless, requirements stay modest, and most current AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel GPUs - including integrated graphics - are supported (expect slower renders on chip graphics). Finally, we tested the photo restoration app flow on 12 MP photos without crashes.

Over time, old photos can fade, accumulate scratches, and suffer all kinds of damage. SoftOrbits photo restoration program employs innovative artificial intelligence to restore your old photos, utilizing a neural network technology to automatically remove imperfections, clear noise and blurriness, and even add color to black-and-white photos.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher is a Windows Software, however you may use our free online old photo restoration tool.

SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher repairs most types of damage - scratches, tears, dust, water stains and fading. Very severe damage or missing areas may still need a few manual touch-ups, which the built-in brush tools let you do by hand.

While SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher doesn't directly control your scanner, you can easily scan them and then use SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher.

You can try Photo Retoucher free before you buy, and our online tool can fix a photo or two at no cost. Free web services usually cap the number of images, add watermarks or lower the quality, while the desktop app restores whole albums with a one-time purchase and no subscription.

Yes. Photo Retoucher runs the restoration on your own computer, so it works with no internet connection and your photos are processed locally - nothing is uploaded to a server.

For personal archives, yes. Free online tools upload your images to their servers, while Photo Retoucher keeps every photo on your own machine, so sensitive family pictures never leave your computer.

Yes. Photo Retoucher includes automatic colorization that adds realistic, natural tones to a grayscale image, with manual controls to fine-tune specific areas when you need more precision.

Yes. Batch processing lets you apply the same restoration to a whole scanned album in one run instead of editing each photo individually - a key advantage of the desktop app over one-at-a-time online tools.

For one-click repair on Windows, a dedicated tool beats a general editor like Photoshop. Photo Retoucher is built specifically for old photos - it removes scratches, noise and fading, restores faces, colorizes black-and-white shots and upscales, all on Windows with a one-time purchase and no cloud upload.

Yes, most can - the result depends on the source photo. A sharp, high-resolution scan gives the software the most detail to rebuild, so faded colors, scratches and noise clean up well. Photos with large torn or missing areas are the hardest and may need some manual retouching.

Scan or photograph the print, open it in Photo Retoucher, and let the automatic scratch and dust removal clean the surface - it fills damaged spots using the surrounding pixels. For stubborn marks the manual healing brush lets you paint them out, and batch mode applies the same fix to a whole album at once.
