About this tool
Increase edge contrast to make a photo look sharper and more defined — useful for slightly soft or blurry images.
Frequently asked questions
Can sharpening fix a badly out-of-focus photo?
No — sharpening enhances edge contrast in detail that's already present, it can't recover detail that was never captured. It works well on slightly soft images, not severely blurred ones.
Will sharpening too much look bad?
Yes — pushing the factor too high can introduce visible haloing/noise around edges. Start around 1.5x and increase gradually while checking the result.
