Why Remove Image Noise?
Image noise appears as unwanted grain, speckles, or color variations that reduce image quality and clarity. It commonly occurs in low-light photography, high ISO camera settings, heavily compressed files, and scanned documents. Our AI-powered image denoiser intelligently identifies and removes noise while preserving important details, textures, and sharpness that make your photos look professional.
Whether you're dealing with JPEG compression artifacts from social media, sensor noise from high ISO photography, grain from old scanned photos, or quality loss from file compression, our advanced denoising technology delivers clean, professional results. The AI analyzes each pixel and its surrounding context to distinguish between noise and actual image content, ensuring that fine details are preserved while unwanted artifacts are removed.
Perfect for photographers who need to clean up high ISO shots, designers working with compressed images, content creators restoring old photos, and anyone who wants to improve image quality. All processing happens securely in your browser, ensuring your images remain private and never leave your device.
How to Denoise Images with AI
Removing noise from your images is simple and straightforward with our AI-powered tool. Follow these steps to restore clarity to your photos:
- Upload Image: Click "Choose Image" or drag and drop your noisy photo into the upload area. We support all common image formats including JPG, PNG, WEBP, and more.
- Select Noise Level: Choose the appropriate denoising strength based on your image - Level 0 (None), Level 1 (Light), Level 2 (Medium), or Level 3 (Strong). Start with Level 2 for most images.
- Process Image: Click "Remove Noise" and our AI will analyze your image, identify noise patterns, and intelligently remove them. Processing typically takes 5-15 seconds.
- Preview Results: Compare the original and denoised versions side-by-side to see the improvement in quality and clarity.
- Download: Save your clean, denoised image in high quality. No watermarks or quality loss.
The AI analyzes texture patterns, edges, and color information to distinguish between noise and actual image content, ensuring that fine details are preserved while unwanted artifacts are removed. You'll see dramatic improvements in image clarity, especially in areas that were previously grainy or blocky.

Common Use Cases
Photography & Professional Work
Professional and amateur photographers can remove sensor noise from high ISO photos, clean up low-light images, reduce grain from old film scans, or fix noise from smartphone cameras. Perfect for improving photo quality before printing, publishing, or client delivery. Restore clarity to wedding photos, event photography, portrait sessions, and landscape shots affected by noise.
Social Media Image Recovery
Fix images that have been compressed by social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or WhatsApp. Remove compression artifacts and restore quality to photos downloaded from social networks. Recover image quality lost during upload and sharing, making your photos look professional again.
Document Scanning & Archiving
Clean up scanned documents, remove noise from old photocopies, enhance scanned photos from family albums, or improve quality of digitized archives and historical images. Perfect for genealogy projects, document preservation, and creating digital backups of important papers and photographs.
E-commerce & Product Photography
Prepare product images for online stores, clean up product photos taken in less-than-ideal conditions, enhance images for Amazon, eBay, or Etsy listings, or improve quality of graphics and marketing materials. Professional-looking product images increase sales and customer trust.
Types of Noise We Remove
JPEG Compression Artifacts
Blocky patterns, color banding, and quality degradation that appear when images are heavily compressed. Common in images saved at low quality settings, downloaded from websites, or shared through messaging apps. Our AI specifically targets these compression-related issues to restore smooth gradients and clean colors.
Sensor Noise & High ISO Grain
Random color speckles and luminance grain from digital camera sensors, especially visible in high ISO photos or low-light conditions. This type of noise appears as colored dots or grainy texture throughout the image, particularly in shadow areas and uniform backgrounds.
Film Grain & Scanned Photos
Texture and grain from scanned film photographs, old prints, or intentionally added grain effects that you want to remove. Our AI can distinguish between film grain and actual image detail, removing the unwanted texture while preserving the photograph's content.
Color Noise & Chroma Artifacts
Random color variations and speckles, often appearing as red, green, or blue dots in dark areas of images. This chromatic noise is particularly noticeable in night photography and can make images look unprofessional. Our denoiser specifically targets color noise while preserving actual color information.
Tips for Best Results
- Choose the Right Level: Start with Level 2 (Medium) for most images. Use Level 1 for slight noise, Level 3 for very noisy images. Avoid over-denoising which can make images look plastic or remove fine details.
- Don't Over-Process: Too much denoising can make images look unnaturally smooth or remove important texture. Less is often more. If Level 3 looks too smooth, try Level 2 instead.
- Check the Preview: Always preview the denoised result before downloading to ensure it meets your expectations. Compare side-by-side with the original to see the improvement.
- Start with Quality: While our AI works great on noisy images, starting with the highest quality source image available will yield better final results.
- Combine with Other Tools: For best results with low-quality images, try denoising first, then use our Image Upscaler to increase resolution while maintaining the clean quality.
- Save in High Quality: When downloading your denoised image, choose high-quality output formats like PNG for graphics or high-quality JPG (90-100%) for photos to preserve the improvements.
- Batch Similar Images: If you have multiple images with similar noise characteristics (same camera, same ISO, same conditions), use the same denoising level for consistent results across your photo set.
