How it works

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.

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

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.

💡 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:

General blurry photo sharpen and enhance clarity of this photo, make it crisp and clear

Motion blur from camera shake remove the motion blur and restore sharpness while keeping natural look

Blurry portrait or face sharpen the face and restore fine facial details, enhance clarity of eyes and skin texture

Out-of-focus photo fix the out of focus blur, bring the subject into sharp focus

3 more prompts

Low resolution or pixelated enhance resolution and remove blur, add realistic detail and sharpness

Landscape with haze and blur sharpen the landscape and remove haze, enhance distant details and clarity

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

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.

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.

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

Blurry portrait made sharp

A portrait with obvious motion blur from camera shake. One prompt restored facial details and natural sharpness.

Prompt: sharpen and enhance clarity of this photo, restore facial details

Blurry landscape with soft mountains and lake — Before

Sharp landscape with clear mountain details and water texture — After

Out-of-focus landscape restored

A scenic mountain photo that was accidentally shot out of focus. AI sharpening brought back the detail.

Prompt: fix the out of focus blur, bring the landscape into sharp focus

Clear restaurant scene with sharp food and people — After

Camera shake in low light fixed

A restaurant dinner photo ruined by camera shake in dim lighting. Sharpening recovered the moment.

Prompt: remove the motion blur and restore sharpness while keeping natural lighting

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

💡 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

💡 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

💡 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

💡 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

💡 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

💡 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.
