Why do other apps change faces?

Face restoration models paint in a typical face when detail is missing, which can change eyes, teeth or skin.

Will a very blurry face become sharp?

It will look cleaner, but features that were never captured cannot be invented.

Enhance a Photo Without Changing Faces

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Some AI enhancers generate a new face, so a relative can end up looking like a stranger. The upscaler above does not redraw or beautify: it enlarges and cleans the pixels that are already there, removing blur, noise and JPEG blocks. Faces get sharper but stay recognisably the same person.
