"Truly amazing. This image could not be fixed by any other software"
A more intelligent image sharpener.
True sharpness is the lack of softness and blur. Traditional sharpening tools try to simulate this by just making edges brighter, but they don’t correct the actual source of the problem. Sharpen AI works differently by targeting and reversing three specific types of blur to create much more natural results:
“Photo AI’s ability to recover extremely noisy shots and sharpen blurry images without losing detail or image quality is unmatched.”
Make your photos pop naturally.
Super-sharp photos often pop off the screen with more impact and emotion, so you can often make your photos more powerful by increasing sharpness. However, people are also very sensitive to “unnaturally sharp” photos with haloing and fringing caused by traditional sharpening.
Sharpen AI, now in Photo AI, is an intelligent image sharpener specifically trained to give your photos that extra pop while remaining natural.
“Sharpen AI works really, really well on certain images - better than anything I’ve tried in Photoshop.”
MotionExtra sharpness that looks completely natural.
There’s normally a trade-off between pushing sharpness and increasing artifacts. With Sharpen AI in Photo AI, you can make your image pop much more while keeping it looking completely natural. With the photo above, note the skin/hair texture and the lack of halos or artifacts around edges, even after significant sharpening.
FocusPowerful depth of field throughout your photo.
Many photos will be sharp in certain places but not others because of a shallow aperture. The photo above was significantly out of focus around the headlights; Gary Lamott made it much more powerful with Sharpen AI by selectively bringing the focus back.
MotionTake significantly sharper handheld photos.
Sometimes we don’t have a tripod everywhere we go; the image above was shot handheld in a relatively dark setting. Sharpen AI, now in Photo AI, significantly helped with the final result and naturally recovered many of the blurred details in this image. Pay special attention to the pupil of the eye to see how AI image sharpening actually removed blur instead of just increasing the contrast between edges!
MotionAccurately sharpen different kinds of subjects.
Different subjects will often require different kinds of sharpening to look their best and most natural. Our sharpen AI models in Photo AI was trained on a wide variety of subjects and learned how to accurately sharpen specific details like fur, feathers, and eyes. In the image above, the zebra is sharpened while still keeping the fur looking completely natural.
"Sharpen AI has become crucial. Besides improving photos that were already sharp, it can fix photos with slow shutter speed or where it’s slightly out of focus! I honestly cannot imagine going back to editing without it."
Harry Collins
Rescue very blurry photos.
It’s always best to get your images as sharp as possible in camera. But when you’ve already taken an important image that seems impossible to rescue in Photoshop, give Photo AI a try! Sometimes the issues are too severe to unblur an image, but when it does work the results can be surprisingly good.
In the examples below we’ve included the source files where we can, with a settings screenshot so you can reproduce it.
“Look at that! It’s like a completely different image, it’s literally saved it. I’m amazed at how powerful this is - I didn’t even realize what I was missing.”
MotionReduce perceived movement
When you want to simulate a crisp capture with a fast shutter speed, Sharpen AI in Photo AI can help naturally reduce the perceived movement of your subject. In the image above, Per Grunditz removed motion blur in the subject with Sharpen AI to create a sharp image that still looks completely natural.
Motion Recover image detail
It’s important for sharpening software to be able to enhance real image detail, instead of just raising the brightness of edges. Jarrod Erbe was able to use Sharpen AI to reverse camera shake and create a much sharper image above. To see the difference, pay special attention to the details in the wings and around the back.
MotionRescue multiple types of motion blur
Motion blur is one of the most common culprits of ruined photos. Even the slightest bit of camera shake can result in a blurry photo that you wouldn’t want to share. Fortunately, Sharpen AI in Photo AI makes unblurring an image, even one that suffers from motion blur, quick and easy. With the image above, you can see how Sharpen AI was able to recover realistic detail from this blurry photo.
FocusFocus on the eyes
Portraits are sharp if (and only if) the eyes are sharp. Sharpen AI in Photo AI has been trained to reverse even significant softness for eyes in portraits, which can help you save otherwise great shots.
FocusIncrease real (not simulated) sharpness
Traditional sharpening increases the contrast between edges to give the visual appearance of sharpness. Sharpen AI in Photo AI is different because it actually unblurs images, which creates naturally sharper results with fewer artifacts. In the portrait above, you can see that the image details are more focused and better resolved instead of just brighter.
Focus Save misfocused images
An out-of-focus image is one of the toughest problems to correct; sometimes they’re impossible to correct for Sharpen AI or any other software. But in many cases, like Chuck Nelson’s out-of-focus waterfall image above, you can get great results in Sharpen AI that would save an otherwise unusable photo.
"I usually shoot with a large aperture for creamy bokeh, but you can get an image slightly out of focus from time to time. Sharpen AI helps me recover all that detail, pushing the quality of my work to a whole new level."

“Fabulous software that gets better with every version. [It] is the best for removing noise and sharpening images! I love that I know I can fix a flaw with little effort with Topaz.”
“I tell anyone who will listen about Photo AI. I recently shot in near-dark conditions at ISO 64,000. After putting it through DeNoise Extreme it looked like it was shot at ISO 200.”
"In the past few years I have been using Topaz programs, the company has introduced many, many upgrades that have significantly improved what each of the programs in their suite can do. Topaz is dedicated to their users, and that to me makes Topaz worthy of 5 stars."
“I started using Topaz for the possibility of rescuing 'almost-made-its' and was well pleased. Soon found that even the best shots could be improved, and as a result now use it on all of my 'keepers'. Brilliant!”
