Photo Unblur
Photo Unblur is available to Pixel 7/7 Pro users currently, as Google says the homemade chip inside the smartphone is what facilitates the ability. It’s the evolution of Face Unblur introduced with the Pixel 6, which, as you guessed it, restores faces and brings back some composition. Photo Unblur is an editing option through the Google Photos app, but you’ll only see it pop up if you’re on compatible hardware.
It took me a long time to find a photo that would work to illustrate what this feature does. Google swears it works with photos taken by other cameras. I’m still not sure I’ve managed to figure it out. Photo Unblur is supposed to sharpen the photo so that the image doesn’t look so soft. But it barely worked in the four photos I tried with it, all of which were out of focus and shot with other cameras. I give it a 1/5—it’s not zero because I’ve seen it work for other devices. Leave a comment if you manage to get it working, and maybe we can improve this score.
