Sharpen a blurry selfie

Front cameras are soft, low light makes them softer, and the one good shot is always the blurry one. PixelUp brings it into focus and keeps it honest.

Soft, low-light selfie, one run of Enhance. Drag to compare.

Focus, not filters

Beauty filters smooth and reshape. PixelUp restores the detail the front camera missed and changes nothing else.

Eyes, lashes and hair

The face model rebuilds the fine detail that soft focus loses first: catchlights, individual lashes, hair strands, the texture of skin. The result looks in focus, not retouched.

  • No smoothing, no plastic skin
  • Natural grain is kept

Low light handled

Night selfies carry noise and muddy color. Denoising and light balancing run in the same pass as the sharpening, so the photo looks like it was taken in better light.

  • Noise removed, texture kept
  • Color cast corrected

Still you

Identity, expression, age, skin tone and face shape are preserved by design. Friends in the frame are handled the same way, each at their own scale.

  • No reshaping, no relighting
  • Every face in a group selfie

Questions people ask before uploading

Is this free?

Sign in with your email and get 12 free credits, enough for two runs. After that each run costs 6 credits at 1K, 10 at 2K, 16 at 4K, with the download included.

Will it change how I look?

No. It restores detail and keeps your identity, expression and proportions. It is not a beauty filter; it does not slim, smooth or reshape.

Does it work on group selfies?

Yes. Every face is detected and restored at its own size, including small ones at the back.

What about motion blur from a shaky hand?

Mild motion blur is reduced. Heavy streaking is improved but not fully removed; the free preview shows you what you get before you buy a size.

Can I use it on an old selfie from a worse phone?

Yes, that is a common case. Low resolution, noise and softness are handled together, and the output can go up to 4K.

Is my photo safe?

Photos travel over an encrypted connection, are deleted from our servers 24 hours after upload, and are never used to train AI models.
