How it works

Upload your blurry photo

Drag your out-of-focus or motion-blurred image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. The AI works best on photos with mild to moderate blur from camera shake, missed focus, or slight movement.

Expect: Simple fixes: 15-30 seconds. Heavy motion blur: may need 2-3 refinements.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'fix the blur and make this photo sharp and clear' or 'sharpen this image and enhance the details.' Be specific about areas that matter most. No marking needed—the AI analyzes your entire image and identifies what needs fixing.

Tip: Mention the subject for better results: 'sharpen the face and make the eyes clear' or 'fix the blur on the text so it's readable.'

Generate and review

Check the sharpened result at full zoom. Look for restored edges, clearer text, and improved facial features. Compare fine details like hair, eyes, and textures with the original to verify the fix worked.
Refine with markers if needed

If some areas are still soft or the AI over-sharpened certain zones, tap markers on those specific spots and regenerate. This is optional—most blur fixes work without markers.

Tip: Markers help when you want to sharpen only the subject while keeping a soft background, or to target specific blurry zones.

If something looks off

Photo still looks soft after fixing

Why: Severe blur from extreme camera shake or completely missed focus may have destroyed too much detail for the AI to reconstruct.

Try: enhance and sharpen this photo as much as possible, restore all visible details

Try This →

Tip: Try multiple passes: fix once, then run again on the result for cumulative improvement.

Sharpening created harsh edges or halos

Why: Over-sharpening can introduce artifacts around high-contrast edges. This happens when the AI applies too much enhancement.

Try: fix the blur naturally without harsh edges, keep it looking realistic

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'naturally' or 'subtly' to your prompt prevents over-processing.

Background became too sharp and distracting

Why: The AI sharpened everything including areas that should stay soft, like portrait bokeh.

Try: sharpen only the subject in focus, keep the background soft and blurry

Try This →

Tip: For portraits, specify 'sharpen the face' to target only the subject.

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 sharpen, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

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

Noise or grain appeared after sharpening

Why: Sharpening can amplify existing image noise, especially in photos taken at high ISO.

Try: fix the blur and reduce noise to make it clean and sharp

Try This →

Tip: Combining blur fix with noise reduction often produces cleaner results.

Text is still unreadable after fixing

Why: If the original blur was too severe, the AI cannot reconstruct letters that were completely lost.

Try: enhance and sharpen the text as much as possible to make it readable

Try This →

Tip: Works best on slightly blurry text. Severely blurred text may need multiple enhancement passes.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the blurry areas before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'fix the blur and make this photo sharp.' The AI analyzes your entire image and automatically identifies what needs sharpening. Only use markers if you want to sharpen specific areas while leaving others soft—like sharpening a face but keeping background bokeh.

How do I fix a blurry photo for free without signing up?

Upload your blurry photo to EditThisPic, type 'fix the blur and make this sharp,' and download the result. No account needed, no watermarks added. You get one free edit per week, which is enough to test whether it can save your photo.

Can AI really fix a blurry photo?

Yes, for mild to moderate blur. AI can reconstruct lost details by understanding what faces, text, and objects should look like. It works well on camera shake, slight motion blur, and soft focus. Extremely blurry photos where details are completely gone may not fully recover, but the AI can still improve them significantly.

What's the best free AI tool for fixing blurry photos?

EditThisPic is a strong option because you just describe the fix you want without learning complex tools. Unlike Photoshop's sharpening filters that add edge contrast, AI actually reconstructs missing detail. Try it free—upload your blurry photo and type what you want fixed.

Will fixing the blur make my photo look unnatural?

Not if you use natural phrasing. The AI is trained to enhance realistically. If you notice harsh edges or artificial-looking results, add 'naturally' to your prompt. The goal is to restore what the camera should have captured, not over-process the image.
