Let’s get started.
TheJPEG Artifacts RemovalNeural Filter is the one designated to remove pixelation from JPEG images.
With the JPEG loaded in Photoshop, go toImage>Image Size.
Change the dimensions to the size you wish to work with.
For this example, we went with 3,000 pixels forwidth, which gives us 2,002 pixels forheight.
We also checked theResamplebox and selectedPreserve Details 2.0.
When we zoom in 100%, we can see the pixelation on the woman’s face.
Go toFilter>Neural Filters.
UnderRestoration, simply click onJPEG Artifacts Removal.
It may take a few minutes to process depending on your setup’s processing speed.
You’ll see that much of the pixelation has been fixed.
But there’s still some distortion left.
For now, change theOutputtoNew layerand clickOK.
What we’re left with is a pretty good JPEG file which we can clean up further.
Let’s create a new blank layer first to work non-destructively.
Next, pressSon your keyboard for the Clone Stamp tool.
So dig up those pixelated JPEGs and share them with the world!
