Will a crew lined up in front of the factory, shop, mine or office still look like themselves after the blur is removed?

Blurry Workplace Photos

Blurry workplace 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 workplace photo the blur shows as soft edges, doubled outlines on faces and hands, and detail that never resolves however close you look, right across a crew lined up in front of the factory, shop, mine or office.

Upload a scan or a phone photo of the blurry workplace photo and the AI-powered repair comes back in seconds with the signage, the tools and the company name left as they were. Where the blur covered a face in workplace photos, check the result against family memory before you print it.

If the blur on the workplace photo is worse than it looks, run Unblur Old Photos twice rather than reaching for a heavier setting. Then upscale the blurry workplace photos for a reprint, since the output keeps the shape of the upload.
