Low-Resolution Grandparents Photos
Low-resolution grandparents photos usually come out of a tiny contact print, a wallet photo, a heavy crop or a scan made at 72 dpi years ago. On a grandparent photo the low resolution shows as blocky pixels, mushy skin and faces the size of a fingernail that fall apart when enlarged, right across a grandmother or grandfather, sometimes together, in the only portrait ever taken of them.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the low-resolution grandparent photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the expression, the glasses and the hands left as they were. Where the low resolution covered a face in grandparents photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the low resolution on the grandparent photo is worse than it looks, run Face Restoration twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the low-resolution grandparents photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.

- Small faces of a grandmother or grandfather, sometimes together, in the only portrait ever taken of them that the low resolution has taken the detail from
- Low-resolution grandparents photos that a copy shop refused to touch
- A low-resolution grandparent photo needed for a memorial, an anniversary or a reprint
