This tool comes pre-installed in Windows, but i>f you don’t have it, it is available for download.

Robust Deblurring may not be as straight forward as the other user friendly tools already described above, because you need to have the CUDA toolkit 4.0 environment to run it on NVIDIA graphics cards.

This tool, however, is fast, can handle large blurring fixes through its robust blur removal software, and can recover your image’s finest of details (though not guaranteed due to factors in the picture taking environment).

Why we like Robust Deblurring:

  • It is for non-commercial use (though this may be a challenge for commercial users)
  • You can select the part of the picture you want to deblur (local region), or deblur the full image
  • Supports large blur kernels
  • Recovers images with the finest details
  • It comes with technical support in case you have any problems
  • Comes in free version (though you cannot upload images larger than 800×800)
  • Performs relatively faster than other tools
