Frequently asked questions
- Will I lose detail by denoising?
- Some — denoising and sharpness are always a trade-off. A radius of 0.5 to 1.0 is usually invisible on portraits but kills high-ISO sensor grain.
- Is this AI denoising?
- No — it's a classical Gaussian blur, the foundation every more-sophisticated denoiser uses. AI denoisers (Topaz, DxO PureRAW) give better results but cost money and only run on desktop. This tool runs free in your browser.
- Does the alpha channel survive?
- Yes — RGBA images keep their transparency. Hard edges of cut-out logos are preserved unless you crank the radius very high.
- Are my images uploaded?
- No — the convolution runs entirely on a canvas in your browser.
- Should I sharpen after denoising?
- Often yes. The Image Sharpener at strength 0.5 nicely restores apparent crispness after a 1.0-radius denoise — same workflow Adobe Lightroom uses.
