About this unblur image

Unblur Image estimates what your photo looked like before it was blurred. It models the blur as a spread of light (a Gaussian point spread function) and runs Richardson-Lucy deconvolution, the method used in astronomy and microscopy, which repeatedly re-blurs its estimate and corrects it until it matches your photo. Blur size should match how far edges are smeared, Passes trades detail against noise, and Noise suppression keeps flat areas smooth. It works on brightness only, so colours do not fringe, and runs at full resolution in a background thread of your browser. It recovers mild focus and shake blur well; it cannot invent detail that was never captured, such as a face a few pixels wide.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

How is this different from sharpening?

Sharpening boosts the contrast of edges that already exist. Deconvolution reverses the blur itself, so fine texture such as hair, fabric and text comes back rather than just getting outlined.

Which setting should I start with?

Out of focus suits most phone photos. If edges get halos or the picture looks crunchy, lower Blur size or Passes; if it still looks soft, raise them.

Is there an AI option?

Yes. Switch Method to AI enhance to run Swin2SR, a neural network trained on real blurry, noisy and compressed photos. It runs on your device (a ~50 MB model is downloaded once), takes under a minute with a graphics chip, and can invent texture, so compare at 100% and use AI strength to blend.

Can it unblur a pixelated or censored image?

No. Pixelation and heavy blur throw information away, and no tool can bring it back honestly. This works on photos that are a little out of focus or shaken.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The image is processed on your device in the browser and never sent to a server.
