About Blur Image
Blurring is useful in two quite different situations: making a picture into a soft background that text can sit on top of, and obscuring something in a photo you would rather not show. Choose the strength and the whole image is softened evenly.
Good to know
- This blurs the entire picture, not a selected region. To hide one detail, crop it out instead.
- A blur strong enough to make text unreadable is usually strong enough to be irreversible in practice.
- For a background image behind text, a moderate blur plus a darker overlay reads better than blur alone.
Questions
Can I blur just a face or a number plate?
Not with this tool, which blurs everything. For one area, crop that part out or cover it in an editor.
Is a blurred detail truly unrecoverable?
A heavy blur discards the information, so in practice yes. A light blur may leave enough to guess at, so do not rely on it for anything sensitive.
Does blurring change the file size?
Usually it shrinks, because blurred images compress more efficiently than sharp ones.
Will it work on a PNG with transparency?
Yes, and transparent areas stay transparent.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs inside your browser using your own device. Your file never leaves it, and we never see or store it. You can even disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no daily limit, no watermark on your files. The site is paid for by ads.
