Sharpening boosts contrast along edges, so slightly blurry photos, phone shots, and enlarged images look clearer. Press and hold the preview to see the original. No tool can fully recover a badly blurred image, but moderate sharpening helps a lot.

Frequently asked questions
How much strength should I use?
For photos, start at 60 to 100 percent. If light halos appear around edges, lower the strength or the radius.
What does the radius do?
A small radius sharpens fine detail such as hair and text, while a larger one brings out bigger shapes.
Can the tool fix a photo taken in motion?
Partly. Motion blur is stronger than ordinary softness, so sharpening gives a limited result.
