Repair and revive old, damaged, or low-quality photographs without any manual retouching skills. Use Firefly AI photo restoration tools to recover a cracked family portrait, restore faded color to a vintage print, or repair physical damage with Generative Fill. Firefly reads the full context of your image to reconstruct missing detail.
Upload a damaged photo and use Generative Fill to paint over cracks, tears, water stains, or missing areas. Firefly analyzes surrounding content, texture, and tone, and uses that information to automatically repair flaws. You can use it on black-and-white portraits, sepia prints, and color photographs alike.
Decades of fading rob photos of their original vibrancy. Firefly AI restoration tools recover color depth and tonal balance, returning warm skin tones, rich backgrounds, and natural contrast to prints that have gone flat or desaturated over time. The result feels true to the original moment, not artificially enhanced.
Old photos often lose sharpness through scanning, compression, or age. Firefly enhances resolution and recovers fine detail, including facial features, fabric texture, and background elements, using AI that understands image context. Add clean, natural clarity that holds up at larger print sizes without looking artificial.
Once you've restored it, take your photos seamlessly into Photoshop on the web or Adobe Express. Adjust color grading, remove remaining blemishes, or quickly add your image to a template for social and beyond, all within the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem. Non-destructive editing means your original is always preserved.
Log in to Adobe Firefly with your Adobe ID, or create a free account. Open the Firefly image editor by clicking the Edit an Image button.
Drag and drop your photo, browse your device or Adobe Creative Cloud storage to upload the image you want to restore. Firefly accepts JPEG, PNG, and WEBP files up to 100MB.
Use the brush tool to paint over damaged areas, cracks, tears, stains, or faded regions. Then choose Generative Remove or Generative Fill from the left side menu. Use Generative Remove to let Firefly automatically repair the area, or use Generative Fill to guide the generation with a text prompt.
Click Generate and watch Firefly repair the selected area using AI that reads surrounding content, texture, and tone, and uses that information to automatically repair flaws. Review the results and generate variations if needed.
You can one-click send your generated image to Photoshop on the web or Adobe Express from Firefly, or download your image and keep editing with Creative Cloud apps.
Firefly analyzes the entire image, not just the damaged area, to reconstruct missing detail in a way that matches surrounding tone, texture, and lighting. Repairs blend invisibly into the original.
Your original image is always preserved in the History Panel. The non-destructive workflow means you can experiment with repairs and restorations without overwriting the original file.
Use restored and enhanced images with confidence in any project. Firefly is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem, giving you a seamless path from restoration to final output across Photoshop on the web, Adobe Express, and beyond.
What once required hours of careful manual retouching now takes seconds. Paint the damaged area, click Generate, and Firefly handles the reconstruction automatically.
