Blur Image
Blur a photo with adjustable strength and a live preview, then save it as JPG, PNG or WebP.
The easy way to blur a photo
A blur effect is ideal when you want to use an image as a background, place text on top of it or soften distracting details. Drag the slider from a gentle softening to a strong blur that makes the image unrecognisable and watch the result update instantly.
Clean edges
In many blur tools the edges of the image fade to transparent or dark. This tool extends the edge pixels before blurring, so the borders of the result stay full and natural.
Private processing
Your photo is processed in the browser and never uploaded. Download the result as JPG, PNG or WebP. To blur only the background behind a person, use the AI Background Blur tool.
How to use Blur Image
- Upload the photo you want to blur.
- Set the blur strength with the slider.
- Check the result in the live preview.
- Download the image as JPG, PNG or WebP.

FAQ
Is blurring enough to hide sensitive information?
A strong blur hides most detail, but for text, faces or numbers pixelation or a solid box is safer. Try the Image Pixelator.
Can I blur only part of the photo?
This tool blurs the whole image. To hide a specific area, select a region in the Image Pixelator.
Does blurring reduce resolution?
No, the image is saved at the same pixel dimensions.
