How it works

  1. Upload your blurry photo

    Drop your blurry image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works best with photos that have some detail remaining, not completely out of focus.

    Expect: Simple blur fixes: 15-30 seconds. Heavy blur or motion blur: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'sharpen and enhance clarity of this photo' or 'remove the blur and make the image crisp.' Be specific about what kind of blur you're fixing. No marking needed - the AI understands what 'blur' means and processes the entire image.

    Tip: Add context for better results: 'sharpen the face and restore fine details' or 'remove motion blur while keeping natural look'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Try This →
    Product photo that's slightly soft sharpen product details and enhance edge definition, make product look crisp
    Try This →

  3. Generate and review

    Check the result at full zoom. Look for restored edge sharpness, recovered details in faces or text, and natural-looking clarity without over-sharpening artifacts.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If only part of the image needs more work, tap markers on those specific areas and regenerate. This is optional - most unblur edits work without markers.

    Tip: Markers help when you want to sharpen just the face or a specific object while keeping background blur for artistic effect.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI photo — bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying photo to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using photo on scanned prints to get crisp digital versions

Best Practices

  • Scan old photos at the highest DPI your scanner supports before uploading for best results
  • Describe the specific issue — 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better photo than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
📷

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with photo.

Common Scenarios

  • Using photo on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying photo to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with photo for an online store or catalog

Best Practices

  • Process all images in a batch with the same enhancement settings for visual consistency
  • For web use, balance enhancement quality with file size — overly large images slow page loads
  • Always compare before and after to make sure photo looks natural, not over-processed
📷

Social Media & Personal Sharing

Make your personal photos look their best before sharing with friends, family, or followers using photo.

Common Scenarios

  • Quickly applying photo to vacation photos before posting on social media
  • Using photo on a selfie that has great composition but poor lighting
  • Batch-fixing a phone gallery of photos with photo before creating an album to share

Best Practices

  • Start with the photo you'd most like to share — fix that one first and use the same approach on the rest
  • For selfies, subtle enhancement always beats heavy processing — keep it natural
  • If the photo was shot in low light, mention it in the prompt so the AI tailors photo accordingly

If something looks off

Photo still looks blurry after sharpening

Why: The original blur was too severe, or the AI applied too subtle a correction. Heavy blur needs more aggressive prompting.

Try: significantly sharpen and restore fine detail, remove all blur and make extremely crisp
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'significantly' and 'extremely' tells the AI to apply stronger correction.

Image looks over-sharpened with harsh edges

Why: The AI applied too aggressive sharpening, creating unnatural halos around edges.

Try: sharpen naturally and restore clarity while keeping soft, realistic look
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'naturally' and 'realistic' prevents over-processing.

Only part of the image got sharpened

Why: The AI focused on the most prominent subject. Some areas may need additional attention.

Try: Tap markers on the blurry areas, then: sharpen these marked areas to match the rest of the image
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to apply the correction.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Colors look different after sharpening

Why: Some sharpening algorithms can affect color saturation or contrast. The AI may have enhanced more than just sharpness.

Try: sharpen and enhance clarity while preserving original colors exactly
Try This →

Tip: Explicitly asking to preserve colors keeps the correction focused on blur only.

Noise or grain appeared after sharpening

Why: Sharpening can amplify existing noise in low-light photos. The AI made both sharp details and noise more visible.

Try: sharpen and enhance clarity while reducing noise, keep smooth natural texture
Try This →

Tip: Combining sharpening with noise reduction in one prompt gets better results.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the blurry areas before describing?

No! For most unblur edits, just describe what you want: 'sharpen and enhance clarity' or 'remove the blur.' The AI processes the entire image automatically. Only use markers when you want to sharpen just one specific area while leaving others unchanged, like sharpening a face while keeping background blur.

Can AI really fix any blurry photo?

AI can significantly improve most blurry photos, but results depend on how much information remains. Slight blur from camera shake or soft focus recovers well. Severely blurred photos where subjects are unrecognizable may not fully restore. The AI reconstructs likely details based on patterns, so some detail is always inferred rather than recovered.

What types of blur can be fixed?

EditThisPic handles motion blur from camera shake, out-of-focus blur, slight defocus, and general softness. It also helps with low resolution images by adding realistic detail. Heavy bokeh (intentional background blur) and extreme motion trails are harder to fix completely.

Will sharpening make the photo look unnatural?

When using natural prompts like 'sharpen while keeping realistic look,' the AI avoids over-processing. If results look harsh, add 'naturally' or 'softly' to your prompt. You can always regenerate with adjusted wording until the balance looks right.

How is this different from Photoshop's unsharp mask?

Traditional sharpening tools enhance existing edges. AI sharpening actually reconstructs missing detail by understanding what should be there. This means faces, text, and objects can recover detail that edge-sharpening alone cannot restore.

Is EditThisPic's AI photo unblurer really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I unblur photo on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI photo unblurer support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
