Maximize your content’s potential by enhancing low-quality recordings
Few people realize just how crucial video quality is, especially on social media. As the most impactful type of brand content, every clip you share should be crisp, clear, and polished.

Kapwing’s online Video Clearer gives creators full control over video quality, providing tools to unblur content, sharpen details, and adjust opacity, brightness, contrast, saturation, and blur. With easy-to-use adjustment sliders, the tool is perfect for all skill levels and is completely free to use — no downloads or app installations required.

Improve audience experience and engagement
The average attention span for short-form videos is just 8 seconds, and it’s even shorter if your video lacks high-quality resolution. Quickly fix resolution issues and enhance content from 480p to 4K to ensure viewers stay engaged from the start. A clear, professional video increases the chances of audiences watching through ad breaks, responding to call-to-actions, and boosting engagement-based algorithms for greater reach.

Blur
For a content creator, blurred video can be both a problem and solution depending on the project. Intentionally adding a blur helps highlight key elements, reduce distractions, create depth-of-field effects, and add a cinematic touch. On the other hand, removing blur restores sharpness, corrects recording mishaps, and ensures every video has a clear finish.

When you upgrade to a Pro Account, you get access to exporting in 1080p and 4k video quality, plus all the premium AI features like the Video Stabilizer and B-Roll Generator.
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including from the Video Clearer — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from all the videos you sharpen and edit.
How do I fix blurry or pixelated videos?
To improve the clarity of a blurry video, upload the file into Kapwing or paste the URL into our online editor. Then, adjust the settings for opacity, brightness, contrast, saturation, and blurring to improve the quality of the footage. Lastly, make sure to export the video as 1080p or 4K. When adjusting the compression level, opt for higher quality so you don’t affect the resolution during the export process.
How to unblur a video on Android sent from iPhone
Videos sent through cellular networks are typically heavily compressed, leading to a loss of quality. Sometimes, file types sent between Android and iPhones are handled differently on each device, too, which leads to blurring. One way to preserve quality during Android-to-iPhone transfers is to use third-party messaging apps or file-sharing apps. You can also upload your video to Kapwing's Video Clearer prior to sending to unblur, enhance, and export in 4K. Or, you can sharpen the video's quality after receiving it using the tool's brightness, contrast, opacity, saturation, and blur level sliders.
Is there a better resolution than 1920x1080?
Yes, there are better resolutions than 1920x1080, also commonly called 1080p or Full HD. 3840x2160, or 4K, is the highest resolution possible on most PC screens, and contains four times as many pixels as 1080p. Some Mac models currently support even higher resolution, like 8K. Kapwing's online video clearer allows you to export your video files in both 1080p and 4K, as well as adjust the file level to avoid over-compressing.
Why do 1080p videos look blurry sometimes?
There are a handful of reasons why 1080p videos can sometimes look blurry. For example, the original footage quality could be very low-resolution, which forces its pixels to be stretched to fit high-resolution displays. Also, platforms like YouTube use a compression algorithm during uploads to make streaming faster, which can have the side effect of blurring video somewhat. Finally, the monitor's native resolution you're using might not match1080p.
Why is visual quality so important for social media videos?
There are three key reasons why a video's visual quality is critical when posting to social media:
- First Impressions Matter: Viewers are quickly scrolling through feeds, so high-quality video is much more likely to grab attention. Sharp, clear video with high resolution makes a good first impression, and gets viewers to watch for longer and engage.
- Brand Credibility: Consistent visual quality improves brand credibility. High-quality, polished videos look professional, showing that you care about your content and audience, which helps foster trust and loyalty.
- Improved Engagement: High-resolution, crystal clear videos are far likelier to be shared and engaged with. Platforms typically favor content that generates positive reactions, such as likes, shares, and comments, which only increase your videos' reach.
How do I make a blurry video clear?
To make a blurry video clearer, upload the file into Kapwing’s online editor or paste the video URL. Then, go to the "Edit" panel on the right-hand side and scroll down to the "Adjust" section. Next, slide the markers to adjust the settings for opacity, brightness, contrast, saturation, and blur level.
Can AI make a video clearer?
Yes, AI can make video content clearer. Kapwing offers an AI stabilization tool that automatically stabilizes your video so it’s less shaky — which has a big impact on clarity. You can also use our easily adjustable settings for brightness, contrast, and saturation to improve the clarity of your videos. Then, choose a higher resolution like 1080p or 4K when exporting to preserve quality.
