About imgmend
imgmend is a free, browser-based AI image denoising tool. We built it to give everyone access to professional-grade photo restoration — without expensive software, steep learning curves, or mandatory signups.
Our Mission
Great photos shouldn't be ruined by noise, grain, or JPEG artifacts. Yet most tools that fix these problems are expensive, complex, or require a desktop installation that puts them out of reach for casual photographers and everyday users.
imgmend was created to change that. Using Real-ESRGAN — one of the most advanced AI image restoration models available — we deliver results that rival dedicated desktop software, directly in your web browser, in seconds.
No account. No download. No hassle. Just upload your photo and get a clean result.
What imgmend Does
Remove Grain & Noise
Eliminates luminance and chroma noise from low-light, high-ISO, or smartphone photos.
Fix JPEG Artifacts
Repairs blocking, ringing, and banding caused by heavy JPEG compression.
Restore Old Photos
Revives scanned or degraded photos, recovering detail that time has worn away.
No Software Required
Works entirely in your browser — on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
The Technology
imgmend uses Real-ESRGAN (Real Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network), a deep learning model developed by Xintao Wang et al. It was trained on millions of image pairs to distinguish real photographic detail from noise and compression artifacts — and to reconstruct the original clean image.
Unlike traditional denoising methods that simply blur the image, Real-ESRGAN removes noise while preserving — and often sharpening — genuine edges, textures, and fine detail.
Free to Use
imgmend is free for everyone. Free users can process up to 3 images per day with no account required. Downloads include a subtle watermark.
The Pro plan ($9.99 one-time payment, not a subscription) removes the watermark and unlocks unlimited daily processing. It's a single payment that never expires.
