What it is
SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher is a paid photo-restoration tool for web and Windows. It uses AI to address scratches, dust, print damage, noise, blur, and black-and-white images needing colorization. Its face-restoration model targets blurry, scratched, or low-resolution faces, while the product page says images can be enlarged up to 800%. Generative AI removes unwanted objects and rebuilds backgrounds. Brushes and cleanup layers support localized manual corrections when automated results need adjustment. Users can process multiple photos or an entire folder in a batch. Desktop restoration runs locally without an internet connection, and the maker says photos are not uploaded to a server. The browser tool accepts PNG, JPEG, JPG, WebP, and HEIC files. Severe damage or missing areas may still require manual touch-ups; testing covered images up to 25 megapixels. A free trial is available, and the online tool can restore a photo or two at no cost.
