Frequently Asked Questions

How does image sharpening work?+
This tool uses a 3×3 convolution kernel (sharpening matrix) that enhances edges by amplifying the difference between each pixel and its neighbors. This increases contrast along edges, making details appear crisper.
Can sharpening fix a blurry photo?+
Sharpening can improve the appearance of slightly blurry images by enhancing edge contrast. However, it cannot recover lost detail from severely out-of-focus or motion-blurred photos.
What happens if I over-sharpen an image?+
Over-sharpening creates visible halos around edges and amplifies noise, making the image look artificial. Use moderate intensity (3–7) for natural results and higher values only for special effects.
Is this sharpening tool private?+
Yes. All pixel-level processing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
