How to use Photo Unblur on the Google Pixel 7 series

Let's face it, if taking blurry photos was an Olympic sport, we'd all be retired gold medalists by now. From capturing the little one skipping through the park to taking a star-struck selfie with *insert famous person here*, what seems like a simple task of tapping a circular shutter button doesn't always generate a perfect result. 

Google's Pixel camera team apparently knows a thing or two about that, and it's no longer waiting on the hardware side of things to help you correct your shaky photos and unblur the lines. The latest Google Photos feature, Photo Unblur, takes to artificial intelligence to scan previously-captured images and applies a sharpening filter that magically “unblurs” the subject(s). 

If you own a Pixel 7 or 7 Pro, here's how you can use the exclusive software feature to relive your old memories with a little more clarity.

How to use Photo Unblur on the Pixel 7

For starters, you'll be doing all the editing via Google's Photos app, so make sure that's updated to the latest firmware. Note that owning the app on a non-Pixel 7 model doesn't mean that you'll have the feature unlocked. Not yet, at least. 

This isn't new technology by any means — you can perform similar sharpening mechanics in Adobe Photoshop, for one — but it's the one-click factor and ease of use that makes Photo Unblur so addictively satisfying.
