What restore ripped photos can and cannot do
AI Restore mode softens narrow rips when enough surrounding texture remains. It does not glue paper or rebuild a true original emulsion. If a large chunk of cheek, eye, or lettering is gone, the model may invent detail. Caption shared files as AI-assisted and keep the ripped original as the archive.
Missing corners and decorative borders are usually safer to fill than facial anatomy. Crop empty scanner bed and upload the highest-resolution scan you have before judging the result. For overlapping scratches or creases, see the related damage pages.
Ripped vs torn—use both pages without duplicating work
People search restore ripped photos and restore torn photos for the same class of damage. We keep separate landings for those keywords, but the upload tool is one Restore mode. Read the torn photos guide for careful multi-piece scanning tips, then return here when rip is the word your relatives use.
Scan the largest remaining fragment—or both pieces if fully separated—without forcing brittle paper back together just for a digital pass. Upload, choose Restore, and zoom eyes, mouths, and handwriting at 100%.
