Fix blurry photos with AI online.

Yes. Modern AI sharpening does not just increase edge contrast (like Photoshop's Unsharp Mask filter); it actually reconstructs missing detail based on what sharp photos look like. The AI has been trained on millions of sharp/blurry image pairs, so it has learned what sharp faces, eyes, hair, and skin textures look like. For mild to moderate blur, results are often indistinguishable from a photo that was sharp to begin with.

Go to restorephotosapp.com/restore and create a free account. No credit card required. Every account gets 2 free photo fixes. Upload your blurry photo, select "Sharpen" mode, and download the unblurred result in about 30 seconds. Use these free credits on whichever blurry photos matter most to you.

Our AI fixes motion blur (subject moved during the exposure), camera shake (hands shook during the exposure), and defocus blur (camera focused on the wrong thing). It also handles general softness from low-light phone shots, zoomed-in photos, and slightly missed focus. Faces and portraits produce the most dramatic results.

You do not need Photoshop, Lightroom, or any editing software. Our tool works entirely in your browser. Upload the blurry photo, select "Sharpen" mode, and the AI handles everything automatically in about 30 seconds. No sliders, no layers, no masks, no manual adjustments.

Yes. Our tool works in any mobile browser. No app to install. On your phone, open restorephotosapp.com, upload a blurry photo from your camera roll, and the AI sharpens it right there. Save the fixed version to your phone, share it, or print it from Photos.

Yes. Because the AI reconstructs realistic detail instead of just boosting contrast, the result looks natural. Not crunchy or over-sharpened. You will not see the harsh halos, edge artifacts, or noise amplification that traditional sharpening filters produce. Most people cannot tell a photo was sharpened by AI.

Under 30 seconds per photo. Upload your image, the AI analyzes the blur type, reconstructs missing detail, and returns a sharpened version. The full workflow, from opening the site to downloading the fixed photo, takes about a minute.

Your first 2 photo fixes are free. No credit card required. After that, credits start at $4.99 for 10 fixes ($0.50 each). The Family plan is the best value at $19.99 for 150 fixes ($0.13 each), and our Studio plan covers 450 fixes for $49.99 ($0.11 each). Every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.

It depends on severity. Mild to moderate motion blur is handled extremely well. Results are often excellent. Very severe motion blur, where the subject is a complete streak, is harder because there is less structural detail for the AI to work with. Try your free credits first to see how your specific photo comes out. Many "severe" cases are actually recoverable.

Yes. Faces are what the AI was most heavily trained on. Blurry portraits, soft family photos, and out-of-focus candids typically produce excellent results. The AI reconstructs eyes, skin texture, hair, and facial expressions naturally.

Yes. Upload multiple blurry photos at once and the AI processes each one individually. When done, download everything as a ZIP file. Bulk sharpening is useful for camera rolls from a specific event (wedding, vacation, kids' party) where many shots are soft. Our Family plan makes bulk sharpening affordable at $0.13 per photo.

Yes, and it handles both problems at once. Our sharpening model reduces image noise as part of its processing, so a blurry, grainy low-light photo comes back both sharper and cleaner. You do not need to run separate denoising.

Yes. The AI outputs full-resolution sharpened photos that print beautifully. Pro, Family, and Studio plans include high-resolution 1080P output, ideal for 8x10 and larger prints. A blurry photo that was unprintable before can often be sharpened enough to frame after AI processing.

For most people, yes. Photoshop's Unsharp Mask and Smart Sharpen filters only increase edge contrast. They cannot create detail that was lost. AI sharpening actually reconstructs missing detail based on learned patterns. It also requires no skill or manual tweaking. Experienced Photoshop users may still prefer manual control for specific edits, but for general blur fixing, AI produces better results faster.

Yes, and you will get even better results if you also restore the photo. For vintage blurry photos, run "Restore Old Photo" first to fix fading, scratches, and color issues. Then run "Sharpen" on the restored result. This two-step flow handles the damage and the blur separately for the cleanest final image.

Yes. Photos are transferred securely over HTTPS and stored privately on Cloudflare R2. Originals and processed versions are kept for 30 days so you can re-download them, then permanently and automatically deleted. We never share your photos with third parties and never use them to train AI models.

No. The AI is trained to preserve identity. It reconstructs blurred facial features based on what it can see in the original blur. It does not replace the person's face with a different one. The result looks like the same person, just in focus. If the blur is extreme, the AI may have to extrapolate some details, but it stays faithful to the visible structure.

Yes. After fixing a blurry portrait, you can use our Animate feature to turn it into a short video where the person blinks, smiles gently, or the camera slowly pushes in. Each animation costs 3 credits. A sharpened-then-animated photo of a family member makes a memorable gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or memorials.
