    Your phone's portrait mode, in the browser

    Blurring the background of a portrait makes the person stand out and creates a professional depth-of-field look. This tool separates the person from the background with a portrait matting model (MODNet) and blurs only the background.

    Settings

    • Blur strength: from a gentle softening to strong bokeh
    • Edge softness: natural transitions around hair and shoulders
    • Before/after comparison

    Privacy and performance

    The model (about 6 MB) is downloaded once on first use and cached in your browser, so it opens instantly next time. Your photo is never sent to a server; everything runs on your device.

    Ideal for

    LinkedIn and CV photos, product shots with people, social media portraits and selfies with distracting backgrounds.

    How to use AI Background Blur

    1. Upload a portrait photo.
    2. The AI detects the person automatically (the model downloads on first use).
    3. Adjust the blur strength and edge softness.
    4. Compare before and after, then download.

    Why use this tool?

    Professional portrait effects in seconds without editing skills, and your photos stay on your device.

    FAQ

    Does it work for objects, pets or products?

    The model is trained on people (portraits). Pets and objects may be partly detected; to select any object by clicking, try the AI Image Segmenter.

    Is my photo uploaded to a server?

    No. The page only downloads the model; your photo is processed in your browser.

    Does it work on group photos?

    People in group photos are usually separated too; the best results come with clear subjects in the foreground.
