Your files never leave your device. All processing happens in your browser.
Open the Img Stop Unblur Image tool and add your photo. Choose the AI (Standard 5 MB or HD 64 MB), pick the result size – same size, 2× or 4× – and set Strength and Extra sharpening while the preview shows the middle of the photo at full detail. Click Unblur images and download. It works best on soft, small or compressed photos; strong motion blur or a badly out-of-focus shot cannot be fully restored.
About the Unblur Image (AI)
The Img Stop Unblur Image tool uses Real-ESRGAN, an AI model trained to restore low-quality photos. It rebuilds sharper edges and textures, smooths out blocky JPEG compression and pixelation, and reduces noise – the typical problems of images saved from social media, chat apps, old phones or small thumbnails.
The AI runs on your device: the Standard model is about 5 MB and fast, and the optional HD model (64 MB) is slower but keeps more natural detail. Each model is downloaded once and kept in your browser; your photos are never uploaded. Be realistic about what AI can do: it greatly improves soft, small and compressed pictures, but a photo ruined by strong camera shake or a missed focus will look better, not perfect.

When to use it
- Clean up a photo that was compressed by WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram.
- Fix a pixelated profile picture or a small image saved from the web.

- Make a slightly soft product or food photo look sharper.

Tips for the best result
- Start from the original file, not a screenshot of it – every re-save adds more blur and blocks.
- If faces or skin look too smooth or painted, lower the Strength to keep more of the original texture.
- Use HD for portraits and nature, where natural-looking detail matters most.
- Strong motion blur and badly missed focus cannot be undone completely – expect an improvement, not a new photo.
- For a photo that is only slightly soft, the Sharpen Image tool may be enough and is faster.
Frequently asked questions
How do I unblur an image for free?
Add the photo to the Img Stop Unblur Image tool, choose the Standard or HD AI and the result size, check the preview and click Unblur images. The AI runs on your device and the download is free.
Can AI really unblur a photo?
It can restore a lot of detail in photos that are soft, small, pixelated or heavily compressed, because the AI has learned what sharp edges and textures look like. It cannot fully recover a photo with strong motion blur or one that is badly out of focus – those improve, but will not look like a perfectly sharp shot.
Should I choose Standard or HD?
Standard (5 MB) downloads quickly and is fast on most devices. HD (64 MB) takes longer but keeps more natural detail, especially in faces, hair and nature.
Why does the preview show only part of my photo?
AI processing takes time, so the preview shows the middle of the photo at full detail. That lets you judge sharpness quickly; the download contains the whole photo.
Does it make my photo bigger?
Only if you want it to. Choose Same size to just fix the quality, or 2× or 4× to enlarge the photo as well.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The AI model is downloaded once to your browser and all processing happens on your device.
