Fix a Blurry Old Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your blurry photo

   Upload the photo as-is — motion blur, out-of-focus softness, or blur introduced by scanning are all fine. If it's also faded, cracked, or discolored, that's fine too; you can fix all of it in one prompt. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Mild softness: 30-40 seconds. Heavier motion blur or combined with other damage: 45-60 seconds and may need a refinement.

   Describe what's blurry and what else needs fixing

   Type what you want: 'sharpen the blur on the faces and restore natural color' or 'fix the motion blur and repair the small tear near the edge.' Be specific about where the blur is worst — faces usually matter most. No marking needed.

   Tip: If only part of the photo is blurry (like the background from a moving subject), say so: 'sharpen just the person in focus, the background motion blur is fine as-is.'

   Use a marker if the AI sharpens the wrong area

   If detail was added somewhere you didn't want — like an intentionally soft background — circle it with the marker tool and note what should stay untouched. Optional, and most fixes don't need it.

   Review the sharpened result

   Zoom into the faces and check that detail looks real, not artificial or over-sharpened. Compare with the before/after slider before saving.
