AKVIS Artifact Remover AI is a free image restoration program that improves the quality of images no matter how compressed they are.
It uses machine learning algorithms to remove JPEG artifacts and noise, reduce pixelation, and smooth edges.
Artifact-free images in just a few clicks!
JPEG artifacts can occur when high compression rates are used: loss of sharpness, dots, streaks, blurred blocks, jagged, uneven edges, loss of detail, and loss of color.
AKVIS Artifact Remover AI is also effective in removing various artifacts, including mosquito noise and pixelation.
This program can be used by both basic and advanced users.
This software is free to use! Enter your email address on the start screen to get your free license key.

This AI program offers three image retouching modes depending on the quality of the processed image: low compression, high compression, and high compression (noisy).
AKVIS Artifact Remover AI is available in two versions: standalone and plugin. The plugin is compatible with AliveColors, Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel PaintShop Pro and other photo editors. See AKVIS Plugin Compatibility Table.
Note: To take full advantage of AI features, you need an NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA Compute Capability 3.5 or higher and the latest drivers for your graphics card. AI Program System Requirements

AKVIS Artifact Remover AI improves image quality, no matter how compressed the image is. It uses a trained neural network to remove JPEG artifacts and distortions, reduce pixelation and smooth edges.
The program has three image enhancement modes available depending on the quality of the processed image: Low compression, High compression and High compression (noisy). Try each mode to find the one that gives you the best results.
As an example, we will use the same JPEG image saved at different qualities.
 Low Quality |
 Medium Quality |
 high quality |
1. Open the low-quality (highly compressed) image in AKVIS Artifact Remover AI.
Select the low compression mode. The processing result is displayed in the preview window. It is clear that this mode will not produce good results.
Switch to high compression mode. Unlike before, this gives better results.
If your original image is noisy, you can use the High Compression (Noisy) mode, but while removing noise, you may also remove details or discolor the image.
2. Open the medium quality image.
Select the low compression mode. The result of the process is displayed in the preview window, which is great.
Switching to high compression mode also produced good results.
3. Open a high quality image (saved with low compression).
Select low compression mode - great results!
Switches to high compression mode. For images of medium quality and above, this mode does not produce good results.
If you are unsure of the quality of your image, we recommend that you judge it by sight or try each mode and choose the one that gives the best results.
If you feel that the processed image is not sharp enough, you can use the Sharpness parameter to adjust the edge sharpness, but high values may also introduce unwanted noise and artifacts.
to process the entire image, after which you can save it to disk, print it or publish it.
