Photo Denoiser
Removes sensor grain from high-ISO photos while keeping edges, with a strength slider.
Grain from a high-ISO shot is a real signal in the file, and the only way to remove it is to decide which variation is noise and which is texture. This uses an edge-preserving smoother, which keeps outlines and gives up fine texture — a trade you set with the strength slider rather than one made for you.

How to use it
Drop the photo
A night shot, an indoor photo at ISO 6400, anything where the shadows look speckled.
Match the radius to the grain
It is the size of the neighbourhood the filter averages over. Too small and the grain survives; too large and small detail goes with it.
Raise the strength until the noise goes, then stop
Hold the compare button to check against the original at each step; the point where skin or fabric starts to look like plastic is one notch too far.
Common questions
Is there a model behind this?
No. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is uploaded. It is a guided edge-preserving filter — arithmetic on the pixels you gave it.
The photo looks smeary now.
The strength is too high for the radius you chose. Denoising cannot distinguish grain from genuinely fine texture — hair, fabric weave, foliage — so past a point it removes both.
Should I denoise before or after resizing?
Before, if the image is going to be made much smaller — downscaling averages grain away on its own and denoising first costs you texture for nothing. After, if the size is staying roughly the same.
