Introduction

BackToLife is a modern day image regeneration app that allows users to restore old photos by removing scratches and other damage. The app leverages Microsoft's powerful "Bring old images back to life" machine learning model, which is hosted on ReplicateAI.

How it works

It uses an ML model from Microsoft "Bring old images back to life" on Replicate to remove scratches from old images. This application gives you the ability to submit link of any photo, which will send it through this ML Model using a Next.js API route, and return your restored photo.
