Image Denoise

Automatically remove noise, grain, and compression artifacts from photos for a cleaner, sharper image. Uses a median filter algorithm that preserves edge detail well while denoising. All processing happens locally in your browser — your photos are never uploaded.

What Is the Image Denoise Tool?

The Image Denoise tool uses a median filter algorithm to automatically remove noise and grain from photos — ideal for high-ISO night shots, low-light captures, and heavily JPEG-compressed images.

A median filter removes noise while preserving edges and detail better than most approaches, making it a common denoising technique in photo editing.

How to Denoise an Image

Follow these steps:

  • Drop or upload the image you want to denoise.
  • Adjust the filter radius and strength as needed.
  • Click Denoise and wait for processing to finish.
  • Download the result as a PNG file.

Tips

  • For noisy night photos, a 2px radius is a good starting point.
  • A strength of 100% uses the full filter result; lower values keep more of the original detail.
  • Denoise before upscaling to avoid amplifying noise along with the image.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does denoising work?+
The tool uses a median filter algorithm: for each pixel, it takes the median value of its surrounding neighborhood as the new value. This effectively removes random noise and salt-and-pepper noise while preserving edges better than a mean blur.
What is noise?+
Noise is the randomly distributed grain or colored speckles in a photo, usually caused by high ISO, low-light conditions, or JPEG compression. Denoising can dramatically improve the quality of such photos.
Will denoising make my image blurry?+
A median filter preserves edges better than blur-based algorithms, but overly strong denoising can still lose some detail. Start with a small radius and increase it gradually if you are not satisfied.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?+
No. All processing happens locally in your browser — your photos never leave your device.
