Check the result before relying on it
Keep an untouched copy of important source files. Browser processing depends on available device memory, and you should inspect every downloaded result before deleting the original.

Questions
About this tool
Does it use generative face restoration?
No. It applies traditional image-processing filters and does not synthesize faces or missing areas.
Can I undo it?
