AI Photo Editing Tools — Restore, Colorize, Swap Background

Examples

App samples come from the UniqAI app. Illustrations show other edits you can ask for.

Enhanced photo of a cat sitting on a windowsill in a warm, dim room, made in the UniqAI app

A woman in a messy bedroom, then the same photo with the background replaced by a beach at sunset (sample image, origin not verified as an unedited app result) — Illustration

The original photo, before — Illustration

Illustration: a woman on an empty beach with a stranger walking behind her, then the same scene with the stranger removed (AI-generated with an image model, not a UniqAI result) — Illustration

Example instruction: Remove the stranger walking in the background and fill the space with matching sand, sea and sky so nothing looks patched. Keep the woman, her pose, the lighting and everything else exactly as they are. Output the full original frame at exactly the same zoom and position; do not crop, zoom in or recompose. Do not change the framing, crop, camera angle, or anything not mentioned. The result must look like an untouched real photograph, with no smudges, repeated textures, halos or visible seams.

Illustration: a sage-green ceramic mug on a cluttered desk, then the same mug on a plain white background (AI-generated with an image model, not a UniqAI result) — Illustration

Example instruction: Remove the entire background and replace it with a plain, evenly lit pure white backdrop. Keep the mug, its edges, colors and position exactly as they are, with a soft natural shadow under it. Do not change the framing, crop, camera angle, or anything not mentioned. The result must look like an untouched real photograph, with no smudges, repeated textures, halos or visible seams.

Illustration: a slightly out-of-focus portrait of a woman by a window, then the same portrait sharp (AI-generated with an image model, not a UniqAI result) — Illustration

Illustration: a scratched, creased and faded 1930s sepia studio portrait of a young woman with finger-waved hair and pearls, then the same photo clean (AI-generated with an image model, with the damage simulated on a clean image; not a UniqAI result) — Illustration

Photo tools you can use today

Which photo tool should I use?

If your photo	Use	Best input	Good to know
Has scratches, creases, stains or fading	Restore old photos	A flat, evenly lit scan of the print	Keeps the photo black and white; it cannot rebuild a part that is torn away
Is black and white or faded	Colorize photo	A sharp scan with clear contrast	Colors are a plausible guess, not a record of the original
Is old, damaged and black and white	Restore, then colorize	The cleanest scan you have	Repairing first keeps scratches from being colorized
Is fine, but the setting is wrong	Background changer	A clear subject with simple edges	Describe the new place and its light in one sentence
Should look like a studio profile photo	AI headshot generator	One front-facing selfie in daylight	Change one thing per run, such as the backdrop

Each tool run is one image generation. The web app shows its cost before you generate.

How much does a photo edit cost?

Every tool run is one image generation, priced by the model you pick, and the cost is shown before you generate. The tool pages start on Nano Banana at 12 gems per photo.

Flux Schnell (Black Forest Labs): 3 gems per image, the lowest cost.
Nano Banana (Google): 12 gems per image.
FLUX 1.1 Pro (Black Forest Labs): 18 gems per image, paid plan only.

Restoring a print and then colorizing it is two runs: 24 gems on Nano Banana, or 6 gems on Flux Schnell. If a generation fails, the gems are returned automatically.

Worked example: repairing a damaged print

Illustration: a creased, stained 1950s black-and-white snapshot of a couple, then the same print with the damage repaired (AI-generated, not a UniqAI result) — Illustration

Illustration of this look, made from the prompt with an image model, not from your photo. Your result starts from your own photo.

The restore prompt behind this example

Restore this old photograph: remove every scratch, crease, stain and the torn corner, repair the faded areas, recover natural contrast and fine detail, and keep the composition, faces and clothing exactly as they are. Keep it black and white as a clean, sharp print.

Apply to my photo

What should I check before I save the result?

Compare the result with your original, side by side. These tools are generative: they rebuild the picture rather than filter it, so three things can change.

Faces. Eyes, mouth and hairline should match the original. If a face drifted, run it again and ask the model to change as little as possible.
Filled-in areas. Anything that was torn away or covered by a stain is a guess. Keep your original scan as the reference copy.
Edges and small detail. Hair against a new background, jewellery and lettering on clothes can shift. Zoom in before you save.

Questions about AI Photo Editing Tools

What kinds of tasks do these AI tools cover?

Three tasks today: restoring old or damaged photos, colorizing black-and-white pictures and changing the background behind a subject. Each tool page shows a real before-and-after first, so you can see the kind of result before you try your own photo. More tools are on the way.

Which tool should I use for an old family photo?

Start with restore if the print has scratches, creases or stains; it keeps the photo black and white. Then run colorize on the clean result if you want color. Doing it in that order keeps the damage from being colorized. Each step is a separate run, 12 gems on Nano Banana.

Do I need separate apps for each editing task?

No. All three tools run in the same web app, so you can restore a damaged print and then colorize it without exporting and re-importing between apps. Each run shows its credit cost before you generate: 12 gems per photo on Nano Banana.

Will editing reduce my photo's quality?

The tools are generative: they rebuild the image rather than filter it, so fine detail can change. Start from the sharpest scan you have, compare the result with the original before you save, and run it again if a face looks off.
