Photo fixing guides

Plain-English guides to sharper photos and better restorations: what causes blur, what the free tools already on your iPhone can fix, how to scan and care for old prints, and when an AI tool such as UnBlur helps. Every guide says honestly where AI stops working.

New here? Start with how to unblur a photo on iPhone or how to restore old photos.

AI results are estimates. AI restoration predicts what a sharper or repaired photo might look like. It can invent or change details, especially faces, text and fine patterns. Always keep your original, and do not use an AI-restored image as evidence or to identify someone.
