Frequently Asked Questions

ClearPastAI uses advanced deep learning neural networks trained on millions of images to automatically analyze and enhance your photos. The AI identifies imperfections such as low resolution, poor lighting, color imbalances, blur, and damage, then applies targeted corrections to each area of the image. Unlike simple filters, our AI understands the content of your photo and makes intelligent decisions about how to improve it, delivering results that look natural and professionally edited.

Yes, old photo restoration is one of ClearPastAI's core capabilities. Our AI is specifically trained to recognize and repair common types of age-related damage including scratches, creases, tears, fading, yellowing, water stains, and missing areas. The restoration engine reconstructs damaged regions, recovers faded detail, and removes discoloration to bring your old photos back to their original quality. Whether your photo is decades old or recently damaged, our AI can help recover it.

ClearPastAI's blurry photo fix uses AI deblurring technology to reverse the effects of camera shake, motion blur, and incorrect focus. The AI analyzes the type and direction of blur in your image and applies the precise mathematical correction needed to reconstruct sharp details. This goes far beyond traditional sharpening filters, which can introduce artifacts. Our approach recovers genuine detail that was obscured by the blur, making text readable, faces recognizable, and textures natural.

Absolutely. ClearPastAI features a powerful black and white colorization engine that adds realistic, full color to monochrome images. The AI has been trained on extensive datasets of color and grayscale image pairs, enabling it to predict contextually accurate colors for every element in your photo. Skies appear blue, vegetation is green, skin tones are warm and natural, and clothing receives historically plausible colors. The result is a vibrant, believable color version of your black and white photo.

The AI image upscaler increases the resolution of your photos by up to 4x without introducing blur or pixelation. Using super-resolution deep learning models, ClearPastAI generates new pixel data that fills in fine details, sharpens edges, and preserves natural textures. This is ideal for enlarging small or low-resolution images for printing, sharing on high-resolution displays, or recovering detail from old scans and thumbnails. The upscaled image looks as though it were originally captured at the higher resolution.

Yes, ClearPastAI offers a generous free tier that lets you experience the power of our AI photo enhancement tools. You can try basic photo enhancement, preview restoration results, and explore the app's interface at no cost. Premium features, including full-resolution exports, advanced old photo restoration, black and white colorization, and unlimited processing, are available through an affordable subscription that unlocks the complete suite of AI tools.

ClearPastAI is designed as a native iOS application optimized for iPhone. The app takes full advantage of Apple's hardware acceleration and Neural Engine to deliver fast AI processing directly on your device. You can download ClearPastAI from the App Store and start enhancing your photos immediately. We are continually optimizing performance for the latest iPhone models while maintaining compatibility with older devices.

ClearPastAI delivers professional-grade photo enhancement results. Our AI models are trained to the highest standards of image quality, producing results that rival manual editing by professional retouchers. Old photo restorations look clean and natural, colorized images feature realistic and vivid hues, deblurred photos reveal crisp detail, and color corrections produce balanced, true-to-life tones. We continuously benchmark and improve our models to ensure the best possible quality for every enhancement.

ClearPastAI supports all major image formats including JPEG, PNG, HEIC (Apple's native format), and TIFF. You can import photos directly from your iPhone photo library, capture new images with your camera, or import files from cloud storage services. Enhanced images are saved in high-quality format to your photo library, preserving all original EXIF metadata such as date, location, and camera information.

Privacy is a core value at ClearPastAI. All AI photo processing occurs directly on your iPhone using on-device machine learning, which means your photos are never uploaded to external servers. We do not store, access, or share your images. Your photo library remains completely private. ClearPastAI only accesses photos that you explicitly select for enhancement, and the app adheres to Apple's strict privacy guidelines and data protection standards.

Yes, ClearPastAI supports batch processing, allowing you to enhance multiple photos at once. Select several images from your photo library and the AI will process each one sequentially, applying the appropriate restoration, colorization, upscaling, or color correction based on each image's characteristics. Batch processing is perfect for restoring entire albums of old family photos or enhancing a collection of images from an event. Progress tracking shows the status of each photo as it is enhanced.

ClearPastAI processes images at their full native resolution and can upscale photos by up to 4x their original size. The AI image enhancer handles photos up to 12 megapixels at native resolution and produces upscaled results at proportionally higher resolutions. For very large images, the AI processes the photo in intelligent overlapping segments to ensure consistent quality across the entire image. The final exported photo retains the maximum possible detail and resolution for printing or digital display.
