Local repairs only
Scratches and stains heal while healthy regions pass through unchanged.
AI Manga Restoration
Restore local damage conservatively by using nearby intact lines, screentones, panel geometry, and repeated visual patterns as evidence instead of redesigning the page. Unlike the cleaner, which removes scan noise, restoration repairs physical damage such as scratches, fading, and small tears.

Upload the damaged scan
Upload the page showing scratches, fading, stains, or small tears.
Mark the repair focus
Point the restoration at the damaged regions so intact areas stay untouched.
Run a conservative pass
Repair with the lightest effective strength; heavy passes invent detail.
Compare against the original
Verify characters, line art, and panels match the source before archiving.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
When restoration beats rescanning
Use restoration when the original is unavailable and damage is local, not page-wide.
Original character preserved
Line quality and paper feel stay consistent with the source era.
Archive-ready output
Stabilized pages survive enlargement and reprinting better than raw scans.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
Repair local manga damage conservatively
Choose the repair focus and scope, then compare every repaired region with the source.
Repair broken lines
Reconnect locally damaged linework while keeping neighboring stroke direction as reference.
Repair surface damage
Target scratches, stains, and small tears without repainting clean regions.
Recover faded tone
Improve local contrast while keeping the page's original black-and-white treatment.
USER FEEDBACK
AI Manga Restoration workflow notes
How creators use this tool before moving into the next manga editing step.
For small tears and broken lines, the repair gives me a practical starting point without redrawing the whole page.
I like that missing artwork is treated conservatively; I can compare the repair as a draft instead of assuming it is original.
Line-focused repair is useful on local damage, but faces, hands, and dense screentone still deserve a full-size check.
CHECK BEFORE USE
Restoration needs source comparison

- Large missing areas cannot be reconstructed reliably without references.
- Generated repair can invent hatching or texture.
- Keep the untouched source as the archival master.
CHECK BEFORE USE
AI Manga Restoration FAQ
Can it restore a missing panel?
Not reliably. It is intended for local damage with nearby visual evidence.
Will original screentone be identical?
Not always. Compare reconstructed tone at full size.
What damage works best?
Small scratches, faded ink, short breaks, stains, and limited tears are the best starting points.
Should I clean the scan first?
Yes when dust, paper gray, or moiré makes the actual damage hard to see.
When should I use restoration instead of cleaning?
Use restoration for scratches, tears, stains, faded ink, and broken linework. Use cleaning for dust, paper gray, scan bands, and moiré.
What source scan works best for restoration?
Use an even, high-resolution scan with as much intact surrounding detail as possible. Keep the untouched source as the archival reference.
Can it repair damage on faces or hands?
It can attempt local repair, but faces and hands must be checked closely because small changes can alter identity or anatomy.
Should I restore before using Manga Upscaler?
Repair important damage before the final upscale; otherwise tears, stains, and broken lines may become more visible in the larger output.
