Although nothing can be done to resurrect a completely indistinguishable photo, the sharpen feature in many online photo editors will do wonders to fix slightly out of focus shots.

Pixlr is a cloud based photo editor which comes with a range of tools such as red-eye removal, resizing and sharpening, all of which can be used in an app or online.

To use the sharpen feature, upload your photograph to Pixlr and click the ‘Adjustment’ button, then select ‘Sharpen’.

Simply set the desired amount of sharpness to add and adjust the radius until you find the right balance for that specific photo.

The radius controls the size of the details that will be sharpened, generally it is best to use a low number for this setting.
