Frequently asked questions

What types of blur can it fix?

Mild motion blur, soft focus and general softness respond best. Severe, extreme blur can't always be fully recovered.

Is unblur the same as sharpening?

It goes further than a sharpen filter — it reconstructs detail with AI instead of just boosting existing edges.

Will it work on blurry faces?

It helps, but for portraits the Enhance Face tool is tuned specifically to restore facial detail.

Can it rescue a completely out-of-focus shot?

It improves clarity, but detail that wasn't captured can't be invented perfectly. Lightly blurred photos see the best results.

Is unblur a premium feature?

Yes — unblur uses our premium sharpening model, unlocked with Pro or credits.

Which formats can I unblur?

JPG, PNG and WebP are all accepted; upload the sharpest copy of the blurry shot you have.

Is my photo private after unblurring?

Yes — your image is used only for your edit and never shared publicly.
