Make Image Clearer
Pricing
- Free Tier
- Free guest preview; max 3 images per upload; higher-quality downloads may require credits
Summary
You have one photo — blurry, faded, or low-res — and no interest in opening Lightroom, running a local model, or signing up for a trial. Make Image Clearer exists for exactly that moment.
The tool runs entirely in the browser: upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP, let the AI rebuild edges and reduce noise, and inspect the result before deciding whether to download. The drag-to-compare slider lets you see the before and after side by side, so you are not committing blind. The free preview is the ceiling for guest users — higher-quality output is a paid-only feature. Processing tops out at three images per session. There is no API, no batch mode, and no way to automate this into a pipeline.
Bottom line: The right call for sharpening a single family photo or a blurry screenshot you need to send today — not the right call when you have a hundred product images and a deadline.

Pros
Sign in to edit- Browser-based with no install required, so you get a result without configuring a local environment or waiting for a software download.
- Free guest preview before any download decision, which means you do not pay or commit only to find the model made things worse.
- Drag-to-compare slider lets you inspect the exact change at the pixel level, so overprocessed edges or hallucinated detail are visible before you save.
- Auto-deletion within 24 hours is stated by the vendor, so sensitive documents or personal photos are not stored indefinitely on a third-party server.
- Covers a wide range of clarity problems — motion blur, noise, low resolution, faded old prints — without requiring you to know which type of degradation you have, since the model detects it automatically.
Cons
Sign in to edit- Higher-quality output is a paid-only feature, which means the free path ends at a preview — any workflow where you need the full-resolution enhanced file immediately will require a paid account on every session.
- The three-image-per-session cap breaks any batch use case: a product photographer with a catalog, a researcher with a set of archival scans, or anyone processing more than a handful of files will be manually re-uploading in groups, which is not a workflow — it is friction.
- There is no API and no self-hosted option, so teams that need to trigger enhancement programmatically — inside a CMS, an e-commerce pipeline, or an automated photo processing step — cannot use this tool at all and will switch to Replicate, Topaz Photo AI, or a cloud vision API instead.
