Why Aha Banana 2 Photo Restoration

Family portraits, childhood snaps, ancestral prints — face restoration powered by CodeFormer rescues them in seconds without Photoshop.

True Face Restoration

Faces are reconstructed with realistic skin tone and detail, not blurred-up. Hair strands, eye expressions, and features all return.

Period-Correct Colorize

Black-and-white prints get colorized with era-appropriate tones — 1930s sepia, 1960s warm film, modern natural — not garish auto-color.

Motion + Focus Fix

Blurry handheld shots and out-of-focus moments come back into focus. Tested on selfies, action shots, and night cityscapes.

Damage Removal

Scratches, creases, dust spots, and yellowing are removed from the print itself — the photograph looks freshly developed.
