How to restore old photos

Step 1. Install Movavi Photo Editor

Download and install Movavi Photo Editor on your Windows PC or Mac using the official website. After installation, launch the program and click Add image to browse your files and select the photo you want to restore. You can also drag and drop the image directly into the app to open it quickly and begin editing.

Step 2. Restore damage and enhance the photo

Open the Old photo restoration tab and enable Restore to automatically fix common issues such as scratches, creases, stains, and image noise. Click Apply to process the restoration.
Next, go to the Adjust tab to fine-tune the image by modifying brightness, contrast, and color balance for a more natural look. Use the Details tools to improve sharpness and bring out finer elements in the photo.

If small defects are still visible, open Erasing objects, highlight the unwanted areas manually, and apply the changes to clean up the image more precisely.

If you want to add color to a black-and-white image, return to the Old photo restoration tab and enable Colorize photo, then click Apply.
