Choose the Right Blur Type
Use Gaussian blur for natural soft focus, Box blur for artistic effects, and Motion blur for dynamic movement simulation.
Start with Presets
Begin with our smart presets (Subtle, Medium, Strong) then fine-tune manually if needed. This saves time and provides a good starting point.
Privacy Protection
For hiding sensitive information like faces, license plates, or documents, use Strong preset with Gaussian blur for complete obscurity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our image blur tool
What blur types are available?
We offer three blur types: Gaussian blur (natural soft focus), Box blur (artistic uniform effect), and Motion blur (directional movement simulation). Each type serves different creative purposes.
Is my image data safe and private?
Absolutely! All blur processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device or get uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security.
What image formats are supported?
Our blur tool supports JPG, PNG, and WebP formats. The output maintains the same format as your input image, preserving quality and transparency where applicable.
Can I blur specific parts of an image?
Currently, the tool applies blur to the entire image. For selective blur (like blurring backgrounds only), consider using our Flow Editor to combine crop and blur operations.
What's the difference between blur types?
Gaussian blur creates natural, smooth transitions ideal for backgrounds and soft focus. Box blur produces more uniform results with artistic appeal. Motion blur simulates directional movement for dynamic effects.
Will blurring reduce image quality?
Blur processing is applied without compression. However, the blur effect itself reduces detail by design. We preserve the original resolution and color depth of your image.
Can I undo blur after downloading?
No, blur is a destructive operation that cannot be reversed. Always keep your original image file before applying blur effects.
What's the maximum blur intensity?
You can apply blur from 0px (no blur) up to 50px (very strong blur). For most privacy and background blur needs, 10-25px is sufficient.
