Light: slightly soft detail
The subject and face are readable; subtle sharpening and minimal reconstruction are appropriate.

Match the clear-up preset to your source blur
Use light blur for a slightly soft photo, moderate blur for visibly softened edges, and strong blur for a source with little readable detail. Each level changes the reconstruction instructions. Compare facial features, small text and repeated patterns in the workspace.
Moderate: visibly soft edges
Outlines remain recognizable but hair and fabric blend together; focus on recovering visible structure.
Strong: little detail remains
Use conservative reconstruction when major structures remain recognizable, without inventing fine text or facial features.

Light blur
Slightly missed portrait focus: face and hair
The garden portrait has soft eyes and hair, with recognizable identity and expression. Focus on eye edges, curls and stubble while retaining natural skin and light.
What the preset asks for
Apply light sharpening; keep identity, expression and linen texture without beauty retouching.
Moderate blur
Pet motion blur: eyes and fur
A running retriever can pick up motion blur. Compare eyes, nose, ears and paw outlines as well as fur, retaining the pose and anatomy.
What the preset asks for
Refine recognizable motion-softened edges; keep the running pose, blue collar and natural fur.
Strong blur
Defocused street: architecture and evening light
Blur hides window frames, iron balconies and cobblestone patterns in the rainy street. Compare edges and repeated structures, preserving perspective, amber light and the blue-hour sky.
What the preset asks for
Recover clarity from recognizable architecture; keep perspective and lighting without adding signage text.

AI image upscalerFrequently asked questions
Can I sharpen an image without changing its look?
The clear-up preset asks the model to preserve the subject, composition and colors. Start with light blur for a soft but recognizable photo. Strong blur uses more reconstruction, so it is better suited to images whose visible structure is still clear.
How do I choose the blur level?
Zoom into eyes or object edges. Choose light for slightly soft detail, moderate for recognizable outlines with blended texture, and strong when only major structures remain.
Can unblurring recover every missing detail?
No. More blur means less source information. Light blur suits natural sharpening; strong blur involves reconstruction and can produce detail different from the original.
Which model powers the enhancement preset?
HD redraw uses GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. The smart-upscale tab provides a separate 2× or 4× enlargement workflow.
Is image enhancement free?
GPT Image 2.5 redraw requires sign-in and credits. The workspace shows the cost for your selected quality and resolution. Smart upscale has its own daily guest allowance and pricing.
Which image formats can I upload?
Upload JPG, PNG or WebP. Original files usually retain more detail than chat thumbnails or screenshots.
How do I compare and download the result?
After generation, the workspace shows your source and result. Drag the slider to compare matching areas, then save the output with the download button.
Does loading an example spend credits?
No. Loading an example places its source image in the workspace and selects the preset. A processing task starts only when you click Generate. The displayed comparisons are AI-generated illustrations.
