Low-Resolution Group Photos
Low-resolution group 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 group 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 whole family, club or congregation arranged in rows.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the low-resolution group photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with every face, the row order and the banner left as they were. Where the low resolution covered a face in group photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the low resolution on the group photo is worse than it looks, run Face Restoration twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the low-resolution group photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.

Suggested order of passes
- 01
Remove the low resolution
Face Restoration targets blocky pixels, mushy skin and faces the size of a fingernail that fall apart when enlarged while keeping every face, the row order and the banner in the group photo untouched.
Face Restoration - 02
Run a full pass on the group photo
Picks up the remaining scratches, fading and softness on low-resolution group photos after the low resolution is removed.
Photo Restoration - 03
Sharpen the faces of a whole family, club or congregation arranged in rows
Recovers the eye and skin detail the low resolution softened; keep it at natural strength on group photos unless the faces are tiny.
Face Restoration - 04
Upscale the group photo for reprinting
Adds the pixels a wall print needs after the low resolution repair, with the shape of the low-resolution group photos unchanged.
