Frequently Asked Questions

Can sharpening add missing detail?
No. Sharpening enhances existing contrast around edges; it cannot restore detail that is not present in the source.
What happens at high strength?
Very high strength can create halos or noisy edges. Use the preview to choose a balanced setting.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Processing happens locally in your browser.
