How it works

Upload your photo

Upload any photo you want to transform. Clear subjects with good contrast convert best for pixelation style effects. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe your edit

Type what you want: 'fix the pixelation, smooth the jagged pixels and restore detail.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

What it can and can’t do

It smooths jagged blocks and adds plausible detail to low-resolution or over-enlarged photos.
The new detail is generated, not recovered, so fine features such as faces and text may differ from the original.
Very small images (a thumbnail) give the AI little to work with; expect improvement, not a sharp photo.
You describe the problem in words; there is no strength slider.
Output is a cleaned-up image of similar framing; it is not a dedicated upscaler to a specific resolution.
One free edit per week with no account; more attempts use credits.

AI pixel fixing vs. resizing

Making an image bigger and making it cleaner are different jobs.

	AI pixel fix (EditThisPic)	Plain resize
Jagged blocks	Smoothed and rebuilt	Made larger
New detail	Generated by AI	None
Faces and text	May change	Stay the same, but blocky
Control	Describe the problem	Pick a size
Best for	Low-resolution or over-cropped photos	When you only need a different size

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the pixelated areas?

No, the AI detects and fixes pixelation across the entire image automatically.

Is this free?

Yes, 1 free edit per week. Credit packs start at $4.99 for 10 edits.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, works in any mobile browser.

Can it fix extremely pixelated images?

Mild to moderate pixelation works best. Very tiny images (under 50px) have limited recovery potential.

Does it actually add detail?

The AI uses learned patterns to intelligently generate plausible detail where pixels are missing, creating natural-looking results.

What photo formats does the fix pixelated photo tool support?

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

How long does it take to fix pixelation?

Usually 20-45 seconds. Upload your photo, describe what you want, and the AI delivers the result.

Do I need to download an app to fix pixelation?

No app needed. EditThisPic runs entirely in your web browser on any device -- desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet.

How do I fix a pixelated picture?

Upload the pixelated picture, type 'fix the pixelation and restore sharp detail', and download the result. The AI smooths blocky pixels and rebuilds edges and texture in about 20 seconds — no Photoshop or manual masking needed.
