Why Sharpen an Image?

Example Image of Sharpen Filter Tool

Enhance Detail and Clarity

Sharpening helps accentuate edges and fine details, making your images come alive. This clarity can be crucial in persuading a viewer to engage with your content.

Improve Focus

When an image is slightly out of focus or appears soft due to compression or scaling, sharpening can help correct those minor issues to achieve a crisp, clear look.

Optimize for Web Viewing

Since a significant portion of image consumption occurs online, sharpening an AVIF image ensures it stands out on digital platforms, especially when viewed on high-resolution screens.

Maximize Print Quality

If your work is destined for print, sharpening helps ensure your images retain their quality even when enlarged. It's essential for those who want their visuals to look as stunning on paper as they do on screen.
