Unblur Text in Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload the photo with blurry text

   Drop in a photo of a sign, restaurant menu, whiteboard, recipe card, or handwritten note. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. The text should be at least partially visible, not fully obscured.

   Expect: Most sharpening finishes in 15-30 seconds. Very small or heavily out-of-focus text may need one refinement pass.
2. 2

   Describe what to sharpen

   Type something like 'unblur the text on this sign and increase contrast so it's readable.' Mention the surface if it helps — menu, whiteboard, packaging, book page — so the AI focuses on the right texture.

   Tip: Add 'increase contrast between the letters and background' when the text is a similar color to what's behind it.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Blurry restaurant menu unblur the text on this menu and sharpen it so the dish names and prices are easy to read

   Check the words carefully

   Zoom in on the result and compare every word against your memory of the original or any other reference you have. AI sharpening improves clarity, but for numbers, prices, or names, don't treat the output as a guaranteed-accurate transcription.

   Refine with markers if a section is still soft

   OPTIONAL. If one part of the text stays blurry, tap a marker on that exact spot and regenerate. Most text-sharpening works without markers.

   Tip: Markers help most on photos where only part of the frame is blurry, like a menu shot at an angle.
