Choose a picture
A blurry photo, a soft screenshot or a picture that was saved too small.
Free tool
Unblur an image with AI.
Make a blurry or soft photo, screenshot or picture sharper. Choose how blurry it is, drag the line to compare, and save it at its own size. An open AI model, Real-ESRGAN, runs on your graphics card in this tab, so the picture never leaves your computer. No sign-up, no watermark.
Pick a stronger setting if the result is still soft, a weaker one if it looks painted. Lower the AI strength if edges look too hard.
This runs in your browser. Your pictures are never uploaded.
How it works
Three steps, nothing to install.
02 / Sharpen
Pick how blurry it is
The first time, the page loads the AI model, under 3 MB. Then your graphics card does the work.
03 / Compare
Check it and download
Drag the line to compare with the original, change the strength if you like, then save it at its own size.
Questions
Good to know.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and runs there, so the picture never leaves your computer.
How blurry can a picture be?
A soft or slightly out of focus picture usually comes out clearly sharper. A very blurry one gets sharper too, but fine detail like single hairs or small text is guessed and may look painted. In our test on a webcam frame blurred on purpose, the Blurry setting brought back the eyes, the beard and the shirt stripes; it did not bring back the skin texture.
Which AI model does it use?
Real-ESRGAN General x4v3, an open model by Xintao Wang and others under the BSD licence, trained to repair soft, small and compressed pictures. The page first makes the picture smaller, which shrinks the blur, lets the model rebuild it four times larger, and saves it at its original size. The stronger the setting, the smaller it is made first.
Can it read blurry text or a number plate?
No. It guesses detail that is not in the picture. Text that is soft but readable usually comes out crisp; text you cannot read at all can come out as made-up shapes, so never trust it for names, numbers or evidence.
Does it fix shaky, motion-blurred photos?
Only a little. It is trained on soft and out of focus pictures; strong streaks from a moving camera stay. It also cannot bring back a face that is only a few pixels wide.
What does AI strength do?
At 100% you get the AI picture alone. Lower values mix it with your original, which softens edges that look too hard or a face that looks painted.
Which browsers work?
It needs WebGL, which current Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox have. Without it, the page runs the model on the processor, which is much slower.
