Fire-Damaged Baby Photos
Fire-damaged baby photos usually come out of a house fire, a smoke-filled room or a print that sat too close to a heater. On a baby photo the fire damage shows as charred and curled edges, a brown scorch gradient, soot in the grain and areas lost entirely, right across a newborn or toddler, sometimes with a parent's hands holding them up.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the fire-damaged baby photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the christening gown, the fine hair and the blanket pattern left as they were. Where the fire damage covered a face in baby photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the fire damage on the baby photo is worse than it looks, run Photo Restoration twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the fire-damaged baby photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.
