Find your best original first
Before opening an enhancer, look for the original camera file. A photo saved from a messenger, posted to social media or taken as a screenshot may have been compressed more than once. Small edges can already be missing by the time you download that copy.
Compare the dimensions of the copies you have, but also inspect them at the same display size. The file with the largest dimensions is not necessarily the best if it was enlarged earlier. Keep an untouched master before trying any edit.
Work out which kind of blur you have
Directional streaks or doubled edges often suggest movement during capture. A soft person against a sharp background points toward focus on the wrong plane. Square blocks, ringing and flattened fine texture can come from compression rather than the camera lens.
These problems need different remedies. Standard enhancement can be tried on mild softness. Severe movement or a completely missed focus point may leave too little information for a trustworthy reconstruction. Deliberate background blur does not need to be removed.
Try one careful enhancement
Choose your supported image in the workspace, review the dimensions and start with Standard. Leave optional face restoration off for the first pass. Free tasks require a source within the displayed size limit; keep your larger original separately.
Wait for the result in the same canvas. If the task takes longer than expected, check History rather than immediately submitting another task. A processing status is different from a confirmed failure.
Compare at the same scale
Drag the divider over the subject and use the 100% view to examine important edges. Look for bright halos, repeated textures and plastic-looking skin. A result can seem sharper simply because the preview is smaller, so keep the original and output aligned.
Faces, text and logos deserve a separate check. A plausible letter or eyelash is not proof that the original had that shape. For important text, another scan or photograph is preferable to relying on an estimated character.
Give the next photo a better start
Clean the lens, find more light, tap the intended subject to focus and brace the camera in low light. Moving subjects may need several frames so you can choose the sharpest one.
If the first enhanced version does not help, avoid repeatedly processing it. Try a better source or retain the original. The useful result is the one that communicates your photograph clearly while keeping its meaningful details.
