What Sharpen does
Choose Sharpen when your photo is pixelated, low-resolution or just soft — an old thumbnail, a heavily compressed chat image, a screenshot you want to print. Sharpen reconstructs detail with AI: 1× cleans up at the original size, 2× and 4× upscale while rebuilding sharpness (a true AI image upscaler).
One honest note: the detail is re-imagined, not recovered — the AI invents plausible sharpness; it can't bring back what was never captured. Faces come out best.
If your photo is shaky or out of focus instead of soft, Unblur is the right tool — it reverses blur itself rather than reconstructing detail.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Sharpen tool do?
It reconstructs pixelated, blurry or soft photos with AI. 1× cleans up at the original size, 2× / 4× enlarge while rebuilding detail. One honest note: detail is re-imagined, not recovered — the AI invents plausible sharpness, it can't bring back what was never captured. 1 credit per photo, from the same wallet as Extend.
Sharpen vs. Unblur: which one fixes my photo?
Choose Sharpen for pixelated, low-resolution or soft photos. Choose Unblur for motion blur or missed focus — camera shake, a moving subject, an out-of-focus shot. Not sure? Try Sharpen first for small or soft images, Unblur first for shaky ones.
What if the AI fails to generate?
You keep your credit. Failed generations are refunded automatically — you only ever pay for images you actually receive.
