What our research says

Let's Enhance

The safe browser-based choice when you need resolution for print and do not want to install Topaz or babysit a local upscaler; it is priced per image, so it punishes high-volume use.

Pros

  • Credit rollover up to six months' worth is more forgiving than the usual use-it-or-lose-it model
  • Distinct tools per job (sharpen, restore, unblur, upscale) instead of one catch-all slider
  • Documented API with separate enhancer and upscaler endpoints for production use
  • Running since 2017, so the model quality has had many iterations behind it

Cons

  • Free tier is 10 signup credits and stamps a watermark on output
  • One credit per image makes bulk catalogue work costly next to a one-off desktop licence
  • Top personal plan is 500 credits at $45/month, which is a low ceiling for agencies
  • Newer generative upscalers produce more dramatic detail on heavily degraded sources

Unblur Image.io

The free, no-signup local mode is genuinely useful for a one-off blurry photo, running the restoration model right in the browser rather than gating basic use behind an account. Batch processing and higher output resolution are locked behind a subscription, so it stops being free the moment you need to process more than a photo or two at a time.

Pros

  • Free local mode runs in-browser with no sign-in or credits required
  • Detects and matches the restoration approach to the specific blur type rather than one generic filter
  • Includes upscaling alongside deblurring in the same pass

Cons

  • Batch processing is paid-only
  • No company or country information disclosed
  • Credit-based paid tier makes cost unpredictable for larger jobs
