What it is

PhotoSharpener is a web service for improving blurry or low-quality photos. It uses Real-ESRGAN to reconstruct detail, sharpen images, reduce JPEG blocks, color banding, and noise, and enlarge pictures to as much as four times their original resolution. Optional GFPGAN face restoration can recover facial detail and process several faces in one group image. Edge-aware processing is intended to preserve smooth surfaces. Users can upload a file or enter an image URL; supported formats are JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP. New accounts receive three free credits, with one credit used per sharpen. One-time options include Starter at 4.99 USD for 25 credits, Pro at 9.99 USD for 75 credits, and Power at 19.99 USD for 200 credits. Paid plans support files above about 24MP, while Pro and Studio support parallel folder processing with filenames retained. The service was developed by Podsqueeze and targets personal users, marketers, stores, agencies, and content teams.
