About
GIFs often lose crispness after compression or resizing, leaving edges looking soft and details muddy. This sharpening tool enhances edge contrast across every frame, bringing back clarity and making text, faces, and fine details easier to see. It's a quick way to rescue a GIF that looks a bit washed out.

Pro Tips
Use a light touch — over-sharpening creates visible halos and noise around edges
Sharpening works best on GIFs that were slightly soft to begin with, not heavily compressed ones with banding
If your GIF has both blurry and sharp areas, consider sharpening first and then using the quality tool to fine-tune the output
