Photo Fixing Tools
Fix pixelated and grainy photos, strip metadata before sharing, and adjust resolution — all without uploading.
When a photo arrives blurry, pixelated, oversized, or with metadata you don’t want to share, the fix usually lives in a single browser tool. This hub collects the most common photo fixes we run into.
Tasks covered
- Unpixelate — upscale a small/upsampled image with bicubic interpolation and an optional unsharp mask
- Strip metadata — remove EXIF, XMP, IPTC, GPS data, and C2PA manifests before sharing
- Compress — shrink a 12 MB photo to under 1 MB while preserving visible quality
- Resize and crop — adjust dimensions for social platforms or print
- Change DPI — re-tag at 300 DPI for print without modifying pixels (or do the actual conversion)
- Rotate / flip — fix sideways photos from phones
- AI Image Inspector — read all the metadata, watermarks, and AI-generation fingerprints in a single view
The hub also surfaces two how-to articles:
- How to Fix Pixelated and Grainy Photos Free — when the photo looks like a low-res social resave
- How to Strip GPS Data from iPhone Photos — the privacy you lose if you share your phone’s original photos
Why all in the browser
Photo fixes used to mean uploading a photo to a service. For a casual photo that’s fine. For a photo with GPS coordinates, faces of family, or EXIF showing the camera model, the upload is a privacy cost. The tools here apply the same fixes locally — your photo never leaves the tab.
