How PhotoFlip Works

From damaged photo to restored masterpiece in seconds. Here's the AI technology behind it.

The 3-Step Process

No complicated settings. No technical knowledge needed. Just upload, wait a few seconds, and download.

1

Upload

Upload any photo (JPG, PNG, WebP up to 10MB). Our system encrypts the transfer with 256-bit TLS.

2

AI Processing

Your photo is analyzed by specialized AI models that detect damage, faces, color information, and resolution. Processing happens in memory — nothing is stored.

3

Download

Compare before and after results side by side. Download your restored photo in full resolution PNG.

Our AI Models

Four specialized models, each built for a different restoration task. Together they handle everything from scratches to upscaling.

Google Gemini

Photo Restoration

Gemini analyzes damage patterns — scratches, tears, stains, fading — and reconstructs missing details based on surrounding context. It understands what a photo should look like and fills in what time has taken away.

GFPGAN & CodeFormer

Face Restoration

Specialized face models detect facial landmarks and reconstruct sharp, natural features while preserving each person's identity. Even heavily blurred or damaged faces become recognizable again.

DDColor

Photo Colorization

DDColor analyzes textures, lighting, and historical context to apply accurate, vivid colors to black & white photos. Skin tones, skies, foliage, and fabrics all receive era-appropriate coloring.

Real-ESRGAN

Image Upscaling

Real-ESRGAN uses neural networks to reconstruct real detail and textures, increasing resolution up to 4x beyond simple resizing. It adds genuine sharpness — not just bigger pixels.

Your family photos are personal. We built PhotoFlip so your images never leave your control.

Your photos are processed in memory and returned directly to your browser.

We never store, share, or access your images.

All transfers encrypted with 256-bit TLS.

We don't train AI models on your photos.
