How to Restore Blurry Faces in Old Video
How to evaluate face restoration without replacing real detail with invented features.
Face restoration is the most visible and risky part of AI enhancement. Separate visibility gains from invented identity.
Use a short test
Choose faces at different sizes and lighting levels. Compare eyes, hairlines, contours, and motion before choosing a tool.
Check neighboring frames
If a face changes from frame to frame, the output may be unstable. For family archives, this matters more than maximum sharpness.
Explain the limitation
Neither TensorPix nor Topaz can reliably recover missing pixels. Use the output for viewing, not as identity evidence.
