- Sharpen, inspect edges for halos, then download at the original size.
Worked example: a product shot that looks soft after a downscale
Resize to the shop width, then apply light sharpening on this page. If you see ringing around chrome edges, drop the strength. Maximum is for stubborn graphics, not portraits.
What this job is for
Sharpen after you have the final pixel dimensions. Doing it before a big downscale wastes the effect and can emphasise noise that then gets scaled.
Useful limits
There is no generative model on this site. Strong settings exaggerate JPEG blocks and skin texture.
The live tool behind this page is Sharpen Image. It is the same local engine as the rest of Image Cosmos.
Frequently asked questions
Is this AI upscaling?
No. It is a 3×3 edge kernel.
Why is there a 16 MP limit?
The convolution needs extra memory. Resize first if the source is larger.
Uploaded?
No.
