Restore Text from Blurred Screenshot

Job ID: 40203974

Budget: £10 – £20 GBP

The file in question is a single screenshot whose text is now so heavily blurred that it is impossible to read. My only goal is to recover that text with enough clarity that every character can be copied or transcribed without guesswork.

Because the blur is severe, I expect advanced de-blurring techniques—whether that means frequency-domain restoration in Photoshop, AI-powered tools such as Topaz Sharpen AI/Gigapixel, or custom Python/OpenCV scripting. Feel free to combine multiple passes or layer-based masking if that gives the best result; I just need the cleanest, most legible outcome you can achieve.

Deliverable: a high-resolution image (PNG or TIFF) where the text is crisp and readable. If the restored file must remain at its original dimensions, please provide a second upscaled version for easier printing. A plain-text transcription of the recovered wording would be a welcome bonus.

Acceptance will be based on:
• Every line of text clearly legible without magnification
• No introduction of new artefacts that hinder readability
• Same—or improved—aspect ratio and framing as the original screenshot

Turnaround is flexible for quality work, but sooner is better. Let me know which tools you plan to use and an estimated timeframe once you’ve seen the file.
