How it works
1 · Scan or photograph the old image
Use a flatbed scanner for best results, or photograph the print in good, even light. Any resolution works, but 600 DPI or higher gives the AI more to work with.
2 · Upload and describe what you need
Upload the image and specify what you want: colorization, damage repair, sharpening, or all three. Mention the approximate decade if you want historically accurate colors.
3 · AI restores the image
Flux Kontext Max analyzes the original and applies restoration, colorization, and enhancement while preserving the subjects and composition of the original.
4 · Download and preserve
Save the restored image at high resolution for printing, framing, sharing with family, or archiving digitally.
What it costs
Flux Kontext Max starts at 16 credits per output at default settings. Check your settings and total in Studio before running.
