You can unblur a picture on iPhone with simple to use third-party tools. You snapped what you thought was a great-looking photo with your iPhone — only to open your camera roll and find the photo is a little blurry. Before you swipe your blurry picture into the trashcan, you can use a third-party iOS app to get the perfect shot you desire. There are plenty of these apps with simple tools to unblur pictures and bring your images into sharper focus.

Depending on the level of blur, you might be able to use a free app. However, for a photo that requires more feature-rich tweaking, you might need to spend a few dollars.
