# Sharpen Image

> Increase edge contrast with a configurable sharpening effect.

**Sharpen Image** emphasizes edges and fine detail.

| Direction | Field               | Type   | Description                                                   |
| --------- | ------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Input     | **Image**           | File   | The image to sharpen.                                         |
| Input     | **Sharpness**       | Number | Strength from `0` to `1000`. Defaults to `50`.                |
| Output    | **Sharpened Image** | File   | The sharpened image, preserving the input name and MIME type. |

The displayed value is divided by `100` before processing. Values at or very
near zero return the original file unchanged; effective processing strength is
capped once the displayed value reaches `1000`.

<Tip>
  Start below the default when sharpening compressed photographs. High values
  can exaggerate noise, halos, and existing compression artifacts.
