Blurry product photos cost clicks — here’s a fast, clean fix
Nothing kills add-to-cart like a mushy hero shot. If your studio rush, low light, or heavy compression turned a product image into a blurry picture, this guide shows how to make a photo less blurry without nuking your schedule.
Why do product images go soft?
- Motion blur: handheld shots at 1/30s on a shiny SKU.
- Missed focus: AF locks on the backdrop, not the label.
- Low light + denoise: detail gets smeared by noise reduction.
- Export squeeze: repeated JPEG saves or tiny CDN presets.
Quick triage (1 minute)
- Open at 100% and read the smallest text (ingredients, serials). If unreadable, sharpening is required.
- Check edges with specular highlights (caps, seams). If halos already exist, keep amounts conservative.
Why an AI approach
A classic unsharp mask boosts halos and noise. An Ai image Sharpener (like Imgsharer) learns object edges and text anatomy, so it can fix a blurry photo by reconstructing characters, micro-texture and packaging lines more cleanly.
Three-step workflow
- Upload one SKU image to Imgsharer.
- Preview: verify label copy, stitches, barcode edges.
- Export at your site’s native size; keep compression ≥ 80.
Pro tips for listings
- Keep background clean; sharpening works best on high-contrast edges.
- If the hero is small, sharpen the crop you actually show (don’t oversharpen a 4k file to downsize later).
- Consistency beats perfection — run the same settings across a collection.
Result you’re after
Legible labels at 100%, crisp seams, and zero crunchy halos — exactly what shoppers expect. When you need speed without a re-shoot, how to make a photo less blurry becomes as simple as a one-click pass.
