Common questions
How do I add scratches to a photo?
Upload your photo, choose a damage intensity, and let DamageMaker AI generate a scratched version for you.
Can I make the scratches look subtle?

Do I need Photoshop?
No. The scratch effect is generated online, so no editing software or manual texture work is needed.
