Bring back lost details in overexposed photos with our photo reconstruction service. A human editor restores washed-out faces, corrects unnatural lighting, and rebuilds skin texture, hair detail, and background elements. Ideal for salvaging important portraits, old film scans, and precious family memories.
This premium-level edit is carefully handcrafted by a human editor. Suitable for professionals, archivists, and anyone who values high-quality recovery.
What can and cannot be recovered
Overexposure destroys detail in the brightest areas of a photo. Where some texture survives, the editor can rebuild skin, hair, and fabric by hand. Where an area is pure white with nothing left in the file, the detail has to be reconstructed from the surrounding context and from reference photos of the same person. We will tell you before starting if a photo is too far gone for a faithful result.
What to send us
The highest-resolution version you have: the original camera file or a flatbed scan of a print, not a screenshot. If you have other photos of the same person from the same period, send them along as references, so the editor has the person's real features to work from. Reference photos are free. If part of one, such as the face, is used in the finished image, that photo counts as a photo to edit too, so 1 more credit.

Her face is washed out by the flash. Can you bring it back?
Good to know
Severely damaged images may need more editing time; the editor will let you know before starting if that changes the result. For scratched or torn prints rather than overexposure, see our damaged photo restoration example.
Private: recreated on our own images, not customer photos
The before/after shown here is recreated on images created or licensed for this site — never a real customer's photo. Your upload is seen only by the editor working on it, and the edit comes with free revisions within 14 days of delivery if anything needs adjusting.
