About this tool

What is a Sharpen Image tool?

A Sharpen Image tool enhances local contrast around edges. It cannot rescue every blurry photo, but it can make mild softness more acceptable for previews, posts, and documents.

How sharpening improves image detail

The tool processes the pixels on a canvas and applies a sharpening filter that emphasizes transitions between light and dark areas. The sharpened output downloads as a separate copy.
