How to Unblur a Photo

When you’re taking photos but got a blurred shot, you can always take another one. But in some cases, you don’t get this chance. For example, a stranger helped take a family photo, but you found the shot was blurry afterwards. The good news is there are some easy ways to make a blurry picture clear. Below, we’ll show you how to unblur a image.

There are two options to unblur a photo. One option is to unblur the photo online. Another option is to unblur the photo with a third-party photo editor. Both options can allow you to unblur photos freely.

Option 1: Unblur a photo online

There are many online services and apps available for you to unblur a photo. If you don’t want to install third-party software on your computer, you can use the online services. If you don’t know what online services you can use, we recommend trying Fotor.

Fotor is a great online service that allows you to edit photos easily. You can use it to unblur your photos with a few clicks. It has the paid version and the free version. To unblur photos, you can just use the free version.

Option 2: Unblur a photo with a photo editor

Another option for you to unblur a photo is using a third-party photo editor. A photo editor is expected to have more functions than online services.
