Three simple steps

1

Upload a photo

Drop in the image you want to improve, such as a dull, soft, or grainy shot.

2

Pick an enhance mode

Choose sharpen, de-noise, color boost, or face detail to match the main problem.

3

Review and save

Check the change against the original, dial it back if needed, then download the result.

What each enhance mode fixes

Most photos have one main weakness, so the enhancer gives you focused modes instead of a single blur all button. Sharpen brings back crisp edges on a soft shot. De-noise clears the colored grain you get from low light or old phone cameras. Color boost lifts flat, gray images into something with depth. Face detail rebuilds eyes, skin, and hair when a portrait looks mushy. Picking the mode that matches the actual problem gives a far more natural result than stacking everything at once. For the bigger picture on quality, the image enhancement guide explains how these fixes fit together.

When each mode helps

Use this table to match the visible problem to the right mode. If two issues show up, fix the noise before you sharpen, because sharpening grain only makes it louder.

ModeUse it whenWatch out for
SharpenEdges look soft or slightly out of focusToo much adds halos around edges
De-noiseGrain or speckles in shadows and skiesHeavy use can smooth away fine texture
Color boostImage looks flat, gray, or washed outOveruse turns skin tones orange

Example recipes

These short recipes show a sensible order for common photos. Apply them gently and compare against the original before you save.

Dim indoor phone shot: de-noise medium, then sharpen light, then color boost low
Old scanned print: de-noise medium, color boost medium, skip heavy sharpen
Group portrait: face detail on, sharpen light, leave color alone
Product photo for store: sharpen medium, color boost low, then send to upscaler

Pair it with the right next step

Enhancing is often step one in a short workflow. Once a product shot looks clean, send it to the image upscaler to make it large enough for a store page, or read the upscaling explainer to see why order matters. If you only need the subject, the background remover gives a clean cutout afterward. And when you generate fresh images in the image generator, a quick enhance pass can polish small flaws before you publish.

Questions about the image enhancer

What does the image enhancer actually change?
Depending on the mode, it sharpens soft edges, removes grain and noise, lifts flat color, or rebuilds fine detail in faces. It improves the pixels you already have rather than making the image larger.
Can I use more than one mode?
Yes. A common order is de-noise first, then sharpen, then a light color boost. Running them in that order avoids sharpening the noise before you remove it.
Should I enhance or upscale?
Enhance when the image is the right size but looks soft, grainy, or dull. Upscale when it is sharp but too small. For a small and blurry photo, enhance first, then enlarge.
