Graduation Photos
Blurry Graduation Photos
Blurry graduation photos usually come out of a slow shutter, a subject who moved, a lens that was never sharp or a camera held by a child. On a graduation photo the blur shows as soft edges, doubled outlines on faces and hands, and detail that never resolves however close you look, right across the graduate in cap and gown, often with a parent standing just behind.
Upload a scan or a phone photo of the blurry graduation photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the tassel, the diploma and the school crest left as they were. Where the blur covered a face in graduation photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.
If the blur on the graduation photo is worse than it looks, run Unblur Old Photos twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the blurry graduation photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.
