Make Blurry Text Readable
Make blurry text readable in screenshots and photos by restoring edge contrast and reducing smear around characters.
Why this happens
Text blur usually comes from low resolution, JPEG compression, or screen capture scaling that softens thin strokes.
Best PhotoRescue tool for this
Use Focus Restore for text clarity first. If screenshot artifacts are strong, run Artifact Removal before restoring sharpness.
How to fix it in PhotoRescue
- Upload the blurry text image.
- Run Focus Restore.
- If needed, clean artifacts and rerun.
- Export and verify readability.
Tips and limitations
Tiny text below a certain pixel size may remain limited. AI can improve legibility but cannot invent fully accurate missing glyphs.
