Sharpen a usable image before it ships

Use Image Sharpener when the image already reads well, but the edges, labels, or fine texture need a cleaner finish.

  1. 01

    Upload a slightly soft image

    Choose a PNG, JPG, WEBP, or GIF where the subject is recognizable and only the detail feels soft.

  2. 02

    Select Sharpen Image

    Run one clarity pass. No prompt is needed for this tool.

  3. 03

    Compare detail at final size

    Check eyes, labels, text, hair, fur, and hard edges at the size where the image will be used.

  4. 04

    Review the sharpened version

    Download it if the edges look cleaner at final size. If the result gains outlines or extra noise, try Image Enhancer or Unblur Image first.

Know when sharpening is the right pass

Sharpening works best after lighting, noise, and blur issues are already under control.

Check high-contrast edges first

White text, dark hair, product borders, and skyline edges show halos before the rest of the image does.

Use Image Enhancer for noise or flat color

If the image is grainy, underlit, or washed out, clean it with Image Enhancer before sharpening.

Use Unblur Image for missed focus

If faces, hands, or product details are blurred by motion or focus, try Unblur Image first.

Use Image Upscaler for size, not sharpness

If the image is clear enough but too small for the channel, use Image Upscaler after the clarity pass.

Final clarity pass

Sharpen the details people inspect first.

Use Image Sharpener near the end of your workflow, then check the result at the size where it will be viewed.
