Frequently asked questions

How do I sharpen a blurry image?

Upload your image above and drag the strength slider to sharpen it. The preview updates live, then click download to save it. Everything runs in your browser.

Is the sharpen tool free?

Yes — completely free and unlimited. No signup, no account, no watermark, no daily limit.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The sharpening happens entirely in your browser on your device. Your image never leaves your computer, so it stays fully private.

Can sharpening fix a very blurry photo?

Sharpening enhances existing edges and detail, so it works best on slightly soft images. It cannot recover detail that was never captured, but it can make a soft photo look noticeably crisper.
