AI Compression Artifact Remover

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your compressed photo

   Drop your over-compressed image into EditThisPic. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. The tool handles images saved at low quality settings, heavily compressed social media downloads, or photos with visible blocky artifacts.

   Expect: Simple cases with mild artifacts: 15-30 seconds. Heavy compression with lots of damage: may need 2-3 refinements to restore all detail.

   Describe what you want

   Type your instruction: 'remove compression artifacts and restore smooth gradients' or 'fix blocky sky and restore natural detail.' Be specific about which areas need work—skies, skin tones, gradients. No marking needed—the AI understands what compression artifacts look like.

   Tip: Mention the type of artifact: 'blocky sky', 'banding in gradients', or 'pixelated edges' helps the AI target specific issues.

   Generate and review

   AI analyzes compression patterns and reconstructs smooth detail. Zoom to 100% to verify artifacts are gone and gradients look natural. Check areas that were most compressed—usually skies, smooth backgrounds, or skin tones.
