About Artecho AI

A conservation documentation tool that gives museum digitisation, heritage labs, and conservation educators brushstroke-aware restoration outputs.

Artecho AI is a conservation documentation tool designed for museum digitisation teams, heritage laboratories, and conservation educators. It generates believable restoration outputs that respect the stroke rhythm, texture, and style of damaged paintings — helping research teams plan, document, and communicate conservation needs faster.

Built on research in computational art analysis, Artecho AI bridges the gap between damage documentation and conservation planning. It does not replace expert hands — it provides them better tools to see ahead.

Principles

How Artecho AI approaches conservation documentation

Documentation, not prescription

Artecho AI generates visual outputs to inform decisions — not replace the expert conservator. Every result is clearly labelled as a non-destructive output.

Honest about limitations

Not every damage type produces convincing results. We communicate quality levels clearly so teams can rely on the outputs they trust.

Built for institutions

Designed for the workflows of museum digitisation teams, heritage labs, and conservation educators — not optimised for consumer use.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Artecho AI is a preview and documentation tool. It generates visual previews of potential restoration outcomes to help with triage and planning. Final restoration decisions should always be made by qualified conservators.

Artecho AI requires two inputs: a high-resolution image of the artwork and a damage mask that defines the regions to be previewed. The mask can be created using standard image editing tools or Artecho AI's built-in masking interface.

Artecho AI generates a restoration preview image and optional notes. The preview shows the artwork with damaged areas filled using brushstroke-aware inpainting. Outputs can be exported for documentation and reporting.

Yes. Artecho AI is currently in early-access pilot mode for museums, heritage labs, and research teams. You can apply for access through our early access page.
