Photo retouch

Restore photos, remove watermarks, denoise and background. Free local models, no credits.

What you can do

Retouch Studio repairs and enhances your photos with professional tools:

  • Face restoration — repairs skin, eyes, details with CodeFormer
  • Denoise — reduces noise and artifacts from dark or compressed photos
  • 4x upscale — enlarges photos while preserving details (512px → 2048px)
  • Remove background — extracts the subject in transparency (PNG RGBA)
  • Remove watermark (photo) — erases logos and stamps from static images
  • Remove watermark (video) — tracks and removes moving watermarks from videos

How to use

Step 1: upload your photo or video

Click the upload box and select a JPG, PNG file up to 10 MB (photo) or MP4/MOV (video watermark). You can also drag and drop.

Step 2: choose the operation

In the Mode section, you see a list of retouches:

  • 🔧 Restore — repairs faces and skin
  • 📉 Denoise — reduces noise
  • 🔝 Upscale 4x — enlarges resolution
  • ✂️ Remove background — extracts the subject
  • 🧹 Remove watermark (photo) — erases static stamps
  • 🎬 Remove watermark (video) — tracks and removes moving logos

Step 3: if needed, select the area (watermark)

For watermark removal, the system asks you to draw a box (bounding box) around the logo or stamp you want to remove. Click and drag to trace.

Step 4: process

Press the Process button at the bottom. Processing times vary:

  • Restore / Denoise / Remove background — 5–10 seconds
  • Upscale 4x — 10–15 seconds
  • Watermark (photo) — 5–10 seconds
  • Watermark (video) — depends on duration (SAM2 tracking processes frame by frame)

After processing, on the right you see the result:

  • Click the preview to view it full size
  • Press Download to save to your computer
  • Press New session to start over

Pro tip

If you upload a low-quality photo (compressed, pixelated, damaged), combine Denoise + Upscale 4x for maximum improvement. Face restoration is perfect for ID photos or old yellowed pictures.
