Moldy Group Photos
Moldy group photos usually come out of years in a humid attic, a cardboard box on a concrete floor or a plastic sleeve that trapped moisture. On a group photo the mold shows as fuzzy grey or white patches, brown foxing spots and a musty smell that comes with the print, right across a whole family, club or congregation arranged in rows.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the moldy 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 mold covered a face in group photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the mold on the group photo is worse than it looks, run Stain & Spot Remover twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the moldy group photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.

What matters for these photos
- A moldy group photo that is the only copy anyone has
- Every face, the row order and the banner, hidden under the mold
- Mold from years in a humid attic, a cardboard box on a concrete floor or a plastic sleeve that trapped moisture, on group photos from the 1900s to 1990s
- Small faces of a whole family, club or congregation arranged in rows that the mold has taken the detail from

Remove the mold

Face Restoration - 03
Sharpen the faces of a whole family, club or congregation arranged in rows
