Restore Photos is a online software allowing, as its name suggests, to restore old photos. The blurry pictures can become much sharper thanks to the “magic” of AI. We obviously tested this web browser solution and will give you our first impressions. So, does the result live up to the promises? In other words, can we really deblur a blurry photo to make it sharper through artificial intelligence?
Unblur a photo easily and quickly
First of all, we would like to point out that Restore Photos is really easy to use. No registration is required at the time of writing this article. A few clicks are enough to upload the image file and get it restored.
The reason for this speed is simple: it is a artificial intelligence who is in charge of the mission. And just like for the famous ChatGPT which has caused so much virtual ink to flow recently, a ML (machine learning) model is mobilized.
In other words, AI who performs the restoration was “trained” so that photographs find their original sharpness. A real algorithm is implemented, that of the model GFPCAN.
All of this is promising. But is it still necessary that the rendered is satisfying, isn’t it? Here are our findings after a few uses.
Restore Photos: make a blurry photo sharp with artificial intelligence
We wanted to be objective, and therefore passed several pictures at the crook before we form an opinion. Color, black and white, solo photo or group photo… it was a question of diversifying the panel.
