Low-Resolution Vacation Photos

Low-resolution vacation 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 vacation photo the low resolution shows as blocky pixels, mushy skin and faces the size of a fingernail that fall apart when enlarged, right across parents and children squinting in front of a landmark, a beach or the car.

Upload a scan or a phone photo of the low-resolution vacation photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the landmark, the car and the swimsuits left as they were. Where the low resolution covered a face in vacation photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.

If the low resolution on the vacation photo is worse than it looks, run Face Restoration twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the low-resolution vacation photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.

What matters for these photos

  • Low resolution from a tiny contact print, a wallet photo, a heavy crop or a scan made at 72 dpi years ago, on vacation photos from the 1950s to 1990s
  • Small faces of parents and children squinting in front of a landmark, a beach or the car that the low resolution has taken the detail from
  • Low-resolution vacation photos that a copy shop refused to touch
  • A low-resolution vacation photo needed for a memorial, an anniversary or a reprint
