Reduce an image's noise
Reduce noise and grain in an image with AI, keeping its original size, directly in your browser.
or click to select it
Uses a photo restoration model (Real-ESRGAN, compact variant) running in your browser via WebAssembly: it first reconstructs the image at higher resolution while smoothing noise and artifacts, then scales it back down to the original size — a known technique for cleaning up a photo without enlarging it.
Use cases
- Cleaning up grain in a low-light photo.
- Reducing noise in a scanned image.
- Smoothing compression artifacts in a heavily compressed photo.
How it works
- 1
Upload the image
Low-light photos usually have more noise to clean up.
- 2
Click "Enhance"
The first time it downloads an AI model (~5 MB).
- 3
Download the result
Same size as the original image, but cleaner.
Frequently asked questions
Does the result lose detail?
The model balances cleaning up noise with preserving real detail; in very noisy areas, some smoothing is unavoidable.
Why does it use a super-resolution model to reduce noise?
It's the same technology: the model reconstructs a clean image at higher resolution and then scales it back to the original size, taking advantage of how that process naturally smooths out noise.
