What is Remove Noise & Grain?
Remove Noise & Grain is an AI tool in Pixelift that runs in the browser with no installation. Remove noise, grain, and compression artifacts with NAFNet technology. Restore old photos and improve image quality instantly. Engine: NAFNet · Topaz Standard V2. Cost: 0.5–6 credits per result; credits are bought once in packs from $1.49, no subscription, and they never expire. Files go to our server in the EU; if the tool uses an AI model, it runs at a provider from our subprocessor list. We never train models on them.
How AI Restoration Works
AI Super Resolution
Enhance and upscale images with intelligent AI-powered detail reconstruction.
Detail Enhancement
Sharpen blurry photos and restore lost texture and edge details.
Old Photo Restoration
Revitalize old digital photos from early cameras and smartphones.
NAFNet Technology
NAFNet is a network built purely for noise and grain removal. It is not generative, so it will not invent detail that was never in the photo — it cleans up what is there. On the premium tier the result also goes through Topaz Standard V2, which recovers more texture at the same fidelity to the original.
- Preserves fine details and textures
- Removes noise without over-smoothing
- Clean results that stay true to the original

What this tool is (and is not) for
Use this tool for
- •High-ISO photos (grain/noise)
- •Old photo scans with artifacts
- •Heavy JPEG compression (blocky artifacts)
- •Low-light photos
DO NOT use for — try instead
- •Blurry photos (that's not noise — lack of focus)Instead try: Deblur— sharpness fix, not noise
- •Damaged old photos (scratches, stains)Instead try: Old Photo Restore— full restoration
- •Already sharp / clean photosInstead try: Upscaler— enlarge instead of clean
For an old, damaged photo there is also Old Photo Restore with the Like today (AI) mode, which removes scratches or recreates the whole photo in 2K as if shot with a modern camera. Faces are recreated by AI, not recovered.
