Can it fix a very blurry photo?

Sharpening enhances detail that is already there, so it works well on mild blur. Severe defocus, motion blur or tiny images cannot have lost detail recreated.

I see halos or noise after sharpening — what now?

Lower the amount or radius to reduce halos around edges, and raise the threshold to leave smooth areas like sky and skin untouched.

🔍Sharpen Image Online - Make Blurry Photos Clearer

Sharpen photos that are slightly out of focus, softened by compression or blurred after downscaling. The tool uses the unsharp mask (USM) technique familiar from photo editors: amount controls the strength, radius sets the size of detail affected, and threshold prevents noise in smooth areas from being amplified. The preview shows the original and sharpened centre of your image side by side at 1:1. Batch supported, original format and size kept, all in your browser.
