How to unblur an image easily from Windows 11 PC?
Hi everyone, I have a few blurry photos that I want to make clearer on my Windows 11 PC. I already tried zooming in and sharpening a bit with the built-in Photos app, but it didn't really help much....

If you know a little bit about programming, then Python with OpenCV is a quite good solution to blur and unblur images on your Windows PC. It offers maximum flexibility and control over the sharpening process. Unlike predefined command-line tools, you can:
- Fine-tune algorithms with exact parameters
- Combine multiple techniques in custom pipelines
- Batch process with conditional logic
- Integrate AI/ML models for advanced deblurring
- Cross-platform compatibility without external dependencies
Sample codes for unblurring an image free:
# Using PIL/Pillow
python3 -c "
from PIL import Image, ImageFilter
img = Image.open('input.jpg')
sharpened = img.filter(ImageFilter.SHARPEN)
sharpened.save('output.jpg')
"
# Using OpenCV
python3 -c "
import cv2
import numpy as np
img = cv2.imread('input.jpg')
kernel = np.array([[-1,-1,-1], [-1,9,-1], [-1,-1,-1]])
sharpened = cv2.filter2D(img, -1, kernel)
cv2.imwrite('output.jpg', sharpened)
