Face26

Face26, built by Face26 Inc. and founded in 2021, is an AI photo enhancement platform for restoring and improving the quality of existing images. Its core tools upscale low-resolution photos to HD or 4K, remove blur and noise, and restore damaged or old pictures, alongside a colorization feature that adds realistic color to black-and-white photographs. A dedicated "Face Zoom" feature creates a higher-detail portrait from a small or unclear face within a larger group photo, which the company positions as useful for genealogy projects and for pulling individual portraits out of old group shots. Other tools include face retouching for skin smoothing, automatic background removal, and generation of images like professional headshots, dating profile photos, and product photos for online listings. The company says its models were trained on more than 2 million high-resolution images. Face26 is aimed at individuals restoring family photos, photographers and content creators, and e-commerce sellers who need clean product images. It's available as a web app and as iOS and Android mobile apps, with a freemium pricing model. The site does not document a public API, so it is not built for programmatic or bulk integration into other software.
