Why Restore Photos Before Creating Wallpapers?

6 min read

Many users ask whether they should restore photos before creating wallpapers. The answer is almost always yes—especially if your photos have any damage, fading, or are in black and white.

Why Restoration Matters

Wallpaper generation AI works best with clear, detailed photos. When photos are damaged or faded, the AI has less information to work with, which can lead to less accurate formatting or less appealing wallpapers. Photo restoration services remove scratches, repair tears, enhance contrast, and bring out hidden details that make wallpaper generation more accurate and visually appealing.

The Colorization Advantage

For black and white photos, colorization can significantly improve wallpaper results. Color information helps the AI better understand facial features and allows for more vibrant, appealing wallpapers. A colorized photo transformed into a wallpaper will look more modern and engaging than a black and white photo.

The Complete Workflow

  1. Start with ColorRestore to restore damaged or faded photos
  2. If working with black and white photos, add colorization
