Use Cases
1. Old Photo Restoration and Portrait Recovery
“My grandfather's old photo was always blurry,now I can finally see what he really looked like.”
Family keepsakes like old photographs often become blurry over time due to age and the limitations of early cameras. With Image Unblur, we can bring back the facial details in these precious photos and breathe new life into old memories. The Image Unblur API is perfect for digital archiving, creating memory albums, or adding depth to family exhibits,helping us better preserve and cherish those invaluable moments.
2. E-commerce Product Image Enhancement
“After enhancing our product images, they looked much sharper on the homepage and significantly boosted customer clicks.”
On e-commerce platforms, poor image quality can reduce consumer trust. Using the Image Unblur API, you can quickly enhance product photo clarity and showcase finer details. This meets the high visual standards of platforms like Amazon or Shopify and not only draws more attention but also improves conversion rates effectively.
3. Social Media Profile Photo Enhancement
“My selfie was a little blurry, but after enhancing it, it looked sharp and natural on Instagram.”
Your profile picture is often the first impression you make on social media. Whether it's a selfie, casual lifestyle shot, or a formal headshot, Image Unblur can sharpen the image, highlight facial features, and define outlines. The enhanced image is perfect for platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, or Twitter,helping you appear more professional and make a stronger impression.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a higher num_steps value for images with severe blur
- Don't enlarge blurry images before processing, deblurring works best at the original resolution
- Avoid using highly pixelated or heavily compressed images. Results are best when objects, edges, or faces are still partially clear and recognizable
