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

  1. Upload the blurry text image.
  2. Run Focus Restore.
  3. If needed, clean artifacts and rerun.
  4. 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.
