Sharpen old or blurry photos
Photo remaster, step by step on Samsung and Pixel phones.
Why it helps
Old photos, shaky shots and pictures saved from chats can be sharpened and cleaned up in a tap.
What you'll notice
Faces and edges look crisper and the noise is gone, and your original is kept.
When to use it
When a photo you love looks soft or grainy, then open it and remaster it.
