Pixel phones come with a set of photo editing features, including: Face Unblur and Photo Unblur, which are two exclusive features added to Pixel phones by Google that help remove blurry photos without resorting to using an external photo editing application.
Below we explain the difference between them and how to use them on Pixel phones:
What is a face Unblur?
Google added Face Unblur when the Pixel 6 series was released in 2021. The function automatically detects blurred faces in photos and directly improves clarity. To do this, multiple images are taken from the main and ultra-wide cameras and stitched together.
Face Unblur is turned on and works automatically when blurry and out of focus faces are detected, and you don't need to change any settings to turn it on or off. ) google images.
Face Unblur is available on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series, but unlike Photo Unblur, Face Unblur doesn't work on photos you've already taken.
What is a blurry image?
Photo Unblur is similar to Face Unblur, but it applies to the entire photo, not just faces. This feature can help clarify old or faded photos and increase brightness. Image blur is useful when photographing fast moving subjects or when the shutter speed is too slow.
Unlike Face Unblur, Photo Unblur is a Pixel 7 exclusive feature because it is based on the Tensor G2 processor's machine learning algorithm. But you can also use Photo Deblur on photos taken with non-Pixel phones.
How to use Photo Unblur on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
