## Summary

Sharpen JPG, PNG and WebP images online with adjustable edge-contrast processing, preview and download.

## User Intent

Use this filter to increase local edge contrast so existing detail appears crisper.

## Supported Inputs

- Formats: image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp
- Upload label: Choose images to sharpen
- Defaults: {"filter":"sharpen","intensity":35,"outputFormat":"image/png"}

## Workflow

1. Upload the image: Choose the image you want to sharpen.
2. Set sharpening strength: Adjust the filter intensity while comparing the preview.
3. Export the result: Download the sharpened image when edge contrast looks natural.

## Best For

- Improving slightly soft edges.
- Adding modest crispness before web export.
- Comparing sharpening intensity with the original preview.

## Limits

- Sharpening cannot recreate detail lost to severe blur or low resolution.
- Excessive sharpening can exaggerate noise, halos and compression artifacts.

## Visible FAQ

- Can sharpening recover detail from a badly blurred image? No. Sharpening can increase local edge contrast, but it cannot recreate source detail that is not present.
