General Discussion

Anyone else ever stared at a blurry text image like “why is this so hard to read?!” :person_raising_hand::female_sign: Between shaky screenshots, faded old receipts, and grainy meeting notes, I’ve wasted way too much time squinting. But guess what? I found a fix that takes 20 seconds flat—let me spill.

First, why does text get blurry anyway?

  • Shaky hands when taking photos of docs

  • Low-res screenshots from old videos

  • Faded scans of letters/recipes

  • Glare or dim light messing up the shot

My savior: HitPaw FotorPea

Tried random apps before—most just make text grainy. This one’s different:

  • AI targets only text edges, so the rest of the image stays smooth

  • No tech skills—drag, drop, click “Unblur Text,” done

  • Works on EVERYTHING: old recipes, whiteboard pics, ID cards

  • Doesn’t pixelate—keeps colors and details intact

Quick 4-step workflow

  1. Upload your blurry text image

  2. Find “AI Tools” → “Unblur Text”

  3. Wait 5 seconds for AI to work

  4. Download the crisp version
