Overview
Have a photo with an indistinct face? Use AI Face Enhancer to create a PNG copy, compare it with the original, and decide whether to keep it. Choose an Enhancement Strength and inspect the result: added detail where a feature is unclear is an interpretation, not proof of what it originally looked like. This online workflow requires sign-in and an internet connection. It accepts one JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo up to 25 MB.
AI Face Enhancer uses AI to enhance and restore faces in photos, with the stated purpose of sharpening details, addressing blur, and improving image quality. Enhancement Strength configures the available control; it doesn’t establish that indistinct details can be recovered exactly. Compare the result with the source, especially the eyes, mouth, skin texture, and expression.
When to use
- Use it when a face in a portrait or scanned photo looks indistinct and you want to compare an enhanced copy with the source. The tool accepts one image per run.
- Choose an Enhancement Strength for the photo, then inspect the result beside the original. A sharper-looking face is not necessarily a more faithful record of the person.
How to use
Open AI Face Enhancer and use its linked workspace. This online workflow requires sign-in and an internet connection.
Provide one JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo up to 25 MB. Use the clearest source you have and keep the original for comparison. Review the workspace’s visible controls and any displayed restrictions.
Set Enhancement Strength between 0.1 and 1.0; the default is 0.8. Select Process to run the enhancement. Compare the result with the original, checking the eyes, mouth, skin texture, expression, and identifying features. If it no longer looks like the person, don’t keep it just because it appears sharper. You can try a lower Enhancement Strength and compare that result too. Select Download to save the PNG you want to keep, then verify the downloaded file before using it.

Examples & use cases
A person preparing a profile photo.
A soft-focus profile portrait
Their JPG portrait has an indistinct face. They want to compare an enhanced copy before choosing an image for a profile.
.jpg to PNG
- Enhancement Strength:
- 0.8
- Use the default Enhancement Strength of 0.8 as a starting setting to evaluate; don’t assume it will recover missing detail.
- Compare the eyes, mouth, and expression with the original. Keep the PNG only if it still looks like the person and suits the intended profile.
Expected outcome
A PNG copy to review alongside the original before deciding whether to use it as a profile photo.
Someone preparing a scanned family photo to share with relatives.
A scanned family portrait
The PNG scan has a face that is hard to make out. They want to try enhancement without treating added detail as historical evidence.
.png to PNG
- Enhancement Strength:
- 0.5
- Choose an Enhancement Strength of 0.5 to evaluate a different setting from the default. The control configures the chosen strength; it doesn’t promise a faithful reconstruction.
- Compare the eyes, mouth, and identifying features with the scan. Keep the source, and don’t use the enhanced face as evidence of how the person looked.
Expected outcome
A PNG copy for comparison and sharing only if its interpretation suits the family’s purpose.
A designer checking a portrait for a print draft.
A small portrait for a print draft
A small WebP portrait has an indistinct face. The designer wants an enhanced copy to inspect at the planned print size before deciding whether it is suitable.
.webp to PNG
- Enhancement Strength:
- 0.8
- Use the default Enhancement Strength of 0.8 as a first setting, then compare the PNG with the WebP source.
- Inspect the downloaded PNG at the intended print size. Check for artificial skin texture, uneven eyes, and overly sharp edges; a convincing small preview may look different when enlarged.
Expected outcome
A PNG to assess at the intended print size; use it only if the enlarged view is suitable for the draft.
More ways to use it
- A person organizing a family-photo collection.: They want to make a separate enhanced copy of one older portrait while retaining the original as a reference. A PNG copy to compare with the source; any added facial detail remains an interpretation, not a verified recovery. Enhancement Strength: 0.5.
- A designer selecting a portrait for a profile or print draft.: They need to review an enhanced version at the size and for the purpose where it will be used, rather than relying only on a small preview. A PNG to inspect at the intended display or print size before deciding whether to use it. Enhancement Strength: 0.8.
Troubleshooting
The enhanced face looks less like the person than the source.
Try this: Try another run with Enhancement Strength set to 0.5, then compare the eyes, mouth, skin texture, expression, and identifying features with the original.
What to expect: The next run uses the selected strength. Whether its result suits your purpose is uncertain; don’t keep it unless it still looks like the person.
You cannot add a second photo to the same run.
Try this: Provide one supported photo for each run.
What to expect: The workspace receives one image, consistent with the tool’s one-image input limit.

Frequently asked questions
Can I enhance several photos at once?
No. The tool accepts one image per run. Process one photo, then start a separate run for another.
Can face enhancement recover the exact detail from a blurred portrait?
No exact recovery is established. AI Face Enhancer is intended to enhance and restore faces, including sharpening details, but added detail where the source is unclear is an interpretation. Compare the eyes, mouth, skin texture, and identifying features with the original, and keep the source when faithful documentation matters.
What should I check before printing an enhanced portrait?
The configured output is PNG. Inspect the downloaded image at the intended print size, checking for artificial skin texture, uneven eyes, and overly sharp edges. A small preview may look different when enlarged.
What file formats can I use, and what does the tool download?
The declared input formats are JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The configured output is PNG. The format declarations don’t specify codec or bit-depth support.
How large can my photo be?
The configured file limit is 25 MB. Accepted extensions are JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP.
Can I control how much enhancement is applied?
You can choose an Enhancement Strength value from 0.1 to 1.0; the default is 0.8. Treat your chosen value as a setting to evaluate, then inspect the result beside the original.
Will face enhancement make my face look unnatural or change what I look like?
The tool doesn’t guarantee that a face will look natural or remain exactly the same. Its stated purpose is to enhance and restore faces, including sharpening details; added detail can be an interpretation. Compare the result with the original, especially the eyes, mouth, skin texture, expression, and identifying features.
Can I use the face enhancer on an old or scanned photo?
You can provide a scanned photo in a supported format and within the 25 MB file limit. The tool’s stated purpose is to enhance and restore faces, but it doesn’t establish exact recovery of old or damaged details. Compare any enhanced copy with the original and keep the source.
Can I enhance multiple faces in a group photo?
You can provide one group photo as the single image for a run. The tool is intended to enhance and restore faces, but the configuration doesn’t specify whether it detects or enhances every face. Inspect the PNG result rather than assuming each face was enhanced.
Can I use an enhanced photo as an ID or passport photo?
Enhancement Strength is the documented control, and the configured output is PNG. Those facts don’t establish whether an enhanced image meets ID or passport-photo rules. Check the issuing authority’s requirements and inspect the saved PNG before using it.
Does the tool automatically adjust lighting, smooth skin, or change face shape?
Enhancement Strength is the documented control, and the tool’s stated purpose is to enhance and restore faces. Automatic lighting adjustment, skin smoothing, and face-shape changes aren’t specified. Compare the result with the original rather than assuming a particular retouching change.
Does the face enhancer work on black-and-white photos?
You can submit a black-and-white photo as one supported image file. The declared inputs are JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP, and the configured output is PNG. Black-and-white-specific behavior isn’t described, so compare the result with the source to assess whether it suits your needs.
Can I use the face enhancer without signing in?
No. This online face-enhancement workflow requires sign-in and an internet connection.
How are uploaded photos handled?
