Sharpen
Unblur old photos and sharpen faces
Old cameras and slow shutters left a lot of photos soft. AI can reconstruct a blurry face — eyes, jawline, hair — by referencing how faces are built, bringing a fuzzy portrait back into focus.

Sharpening vs. reconstruction
A basic sharpen filter just boosts edge contrast, including the noise. AI face enhancement does something different: it understands what a face is and rebuilds the features it expects to find. That's why it can recover a face a filter would only make crunchier.
Keep it looking like the real person
The failure mode is over-smoothing — pores gone, skin like plastic, everyone vaguely the same. A good result keeps texture and the small asymmetries that make someone recognizable. If a sharpened face looks like a stranger, that's the tool doing too much, not too little.
Common questions
- Can it fix motion blur, or only soft focus?
- Mild motion blur and general softness improve a lot. Severe motion streaks — where features have smeared across the frame — leave too little for the model to reconstruct accurately.
- Will a tiny, low-resolution photo work?
- Up to a point. The more pixels you start with, the more the model has to work from. A larger scan of the same print always beats a thumbnail.
