- Sharpening blurry photos
- Cleaning up compressed images

## What This Skill Does

1. **Analyzes Image Quality**: Checks resolution, sharpness, and compression artifacts
2. **Enhances Resolution**: Upscales images intelligently
3. **Improves Sharpness**: Enhances edges and details
4. **Reduces Artifacts**: Cleans up compression artifacts and noise
5. **Optimizes for Use Case**: Adjusts based on intended use (web, print, social media)

## How to Use

### Basic Enhancement

```
Improve the image quality of screenshot.png
```

```

Overview

This skill improves the quality of images and screenshots by enhancing resolution, sharpness, and clarity. It prepares visuals for presentations, documentation, and social media by intelligently upscaling, denoising, and reducing compression artifacts. The workflow preserves originals and optimizes output for the intended use case.

How this skill works

The skill analyzes each image for resolution, noise level, compression artifacts, and edge clarity. It then applies targeted operations: intelligent upscaling to increase resolution, sharpening to restore detail, and artifact/noise reduction to clean compressed files. Finally, it optimizes output format and size based on the selected target (web, print, or social media) while keeping a backup of the original.

When to use it

  • Preparing screenshots or UI images for blog posts and documentation
  • Upscaling low-resolution images for presentations or print
  • Sharpening slightly blurry screenshots or photos
  • Cleaning compression artifacts from exported images
  • Batch-processing many images before sharing or publishing

Best practices

  • Keep originals backed up; the skill saves modified copies without overwriting
  • Specify the intended output target (web, print, specific social platform) for optimal sizing
  • Start with the highest-quality source available for best results
  • Use batch mode for consistent processing across multiple images
  • Choose PNG for high-fidelity output and JPG for smaller file size when appropriate

Example use cases

  • Enhance and upsample a 1080p screenshot to 4K for a keynote slide
  • Batch-process a folder of UI screenshots before adding them to documentation
  • Remove compression noise from exported images for a blog post
  • Sharpen and clarify text in an image intended for a LinkedIn carousel
  • Optimize a set of product screenshots for Instagram sizing and quality

FAQ

Will the skill overwrite my original files?

No. Originals are preserved; enhanced images are saved as new files with a clear filename suffix.

What image types work best?

Digital screenshots and PNG files yield the best results, but the skill supports common formats like JPG and PNG.

Can I process many images at once?

Yes. Batch processing supports entire directories and applies consistent enhancement settings across files.
