Upload the photo
Use the original file rather than a screenshot of it — recompression removes what the model needs.

Unblur Images
Bring back a photo that came out soft from camera shake, a missed focus or a subject that would not hold still.

Why some blur comes back and some does not
Blur is information spread across neighboring pixels. Undoing it means estimating how it was spread — a straight streak from a shaky hand, an even circle from a missed focus, a directional smear from a moving subject — and then reversing that spread. Telling the tool which kind it is makes the estimate much better than a generic sharpen.
Where a real limit sits: if the detail was smeared across a wide area, it is simply gone, and pushing the strength further produces edges the model invented rather than detail it recovered. Faces stay believable much longer than small text does.
Three steps to a sharper frame
Name the blur
Camera shake, out of focus or motion. Auto guesses, but naming it gives a cleaner result.
Raise the strength carefully
Stop as soon as edges look right; past that point the picture starts inventing detail.
Controls that match how the photo was ruined
Blur types
Separate handling for hand shake, missed focus and a moving subject.
Strength you can back off
One slider from a gentle correction to a hard recovery, with the artifacts visible as you go.
Subject priority
Spend the recovery budget on the face, the lettering or the product instead of the whole frame equally.
Halo suppression
Keeps bright outlines from forming along high-contrast edges, the usual giveaway of a deblurred photo.
Where recovery holds up
Photos worth trying to save
One-time moments
A shot you cannot take again is worth a recovery pass even at partial success.
Handheld indoor photos
Low light forces slow shutters, and slow shutters plus hands equals streaks.
Documents and signage
Recover enough shape to read a label or a sign, with the caveat below on trusting the characters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it fix any blurry photo?
No. Mild to moderate blur usually recovers well; a frame that is fully smeared has lost the detail entirely and no amount of strength brings it back.
Will blurry text become readable?
Sometimes the shapes come back far enough to read. Do not trust reconstructed characters for anything that matters — the model completes letters it thinks belong there.
What does recovery strength actually change?
How hard the deblur pass pushes. Low values correct softness; high values rebuild edges aggressively and start producing halos and texture that were never in the photo.
Should I unblur before or after upscaling?
Unblur first, or use the 2× option here so both run in one pass. Upscaling a blurry file just enlarges the blur.
Why do bright outlines appear around edges?
That is ringing from too much recovery. Lower the strength and keep halo suppression on.
