Restore Water-Damaged Photos Online
Repair stains, fading, colour shifts, and surface damage in scanned family photos without learning complex editing software.
What this workflow can help with

From original print to reviewed result
- 01
Let the physical photo dry completely before scanning it.
- 02
Scan the full print at the highest resolution available, without filters.
- 03
Upload the scan, choose restoration, and add colour only if you want it.
- 04
Compare the result with the original before downloading.
Prepare the source before restoring
- Use a flatbed scan when possible. A phone photo can work, but glare and shadows may look like damage.
- Upload the least compressed copy you have. More original detail gives the restoration better context.
- For an album, test one representative photo first before processing the full set.
Before you restore
Can RestoreBunny remove brown water stains?
It can often reduce staining and rebalance faded areas, especially when facial and background detail is still visible. Results depend on how much original information remains.
Should I clean the physical photo first?
Do not scrub or separate a fragile wet print. Let it dry and seek conservation advice if the surface is lifting. RestoreBunny works from the digital scan and does not repair the physical print.
