What is Sharpen Image?

Sharpen Image runs a convolution filter over your photo to boost edge contrast and pull out fine detail that looks soft or slightly out of focus. An Amount slider lets you dial the effect from subtle to strong and watch the preview update live. Drop in a PNG, JPEG, or WebP and download a lossless PNG — the whole thing runs in your browser, so your image is never uploaded.

How to use Sharpen Image

  1. Add your image

    Drag a PNG, JPEG, or WebP onto the drop zone, or click to browse. It loads at full resolution and is decoded locally.

  2. Set the sharpening amount

    Drag the Amount slider from 0% to 100%. At 0% the image is untouched; as you raise it, a 3x3 sharpening kernel adds more contrast around edges. The preview refreshes as you slide.

  3. Find the right balance

    A little sharpening rescues a soft photo, while too much introduces halos and noise. Nudge the slider until edges look crisp but natural.

  4. Download the PNG

    Click Download PNG to save the sharpened image, named after your original file with a -sharpened suffix.
