A closer look

A cartoon is not a hidden photograph

Cartoon-to-photo generation is not supported by this editor. Converting drawn eyes, simplified skin and illustrated hair into a photograph invents details. Color mode can make a modest tonal correction but will not recreate a real face.

01

Keep illustration and restoration separate

If only a cartoon export remains, request the original photograph. A realistic-looking generated face would not verify the source identity.

02

Preserve what is visible

All editing uses an orientation-normalized working copy up to 1024 pixels on the longest edge. Keep the uploaded file for full-resolution reference.

03

No forced transformation

Uncertain analysis asks for a mode. A no-op or failed result does not consume a free credit.
