Image Blur Tool Features
- Control how light or strong the blur appears with an adjustable strength slider.
- Blur the entire image at once or apply the effect only to selected parts of the photo.
- Use rectangular selections for quick coverage or a freehand brush for irregular areas and smaller details.
- Switch between Blur and Pixelate while using the same whole-image or selected-area editing controls.
- Combine the selected effect with grayscale when you want a black-and-white result.
- Large images can use an optimized preview while the downloaded result is rendered from the original image dimensions.
- Drag the comparison divider across the preview to inspect the original and edited versions.
- Download the finished image as JPEG, PNG or WebP. JPEG uses a white background for transparent areas.
- Image editing runs locally in your browser, so your image does not need to be sent to an image-processing server to apply the effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I blur an image online?
Upload your image, adjust the Strength slider, and download the result. By default, the blur effect is applied to the entire image.
Can I blur only part of an image?
Yes. Turn on Selected Area, then draw a rectangle or use the brush over the part of the image you want to blur. The rest of the image remains unchanged.
How do I blur text in an image?
Turn on Selected Area and place a rectangle over the text, or use the brush for more precise coverage. This is useful for hiding names, addresses, messages, account details and other private information.
Can I blur a face in a photo?
Yes. Turn on Selected Area and place a rectangle over the face, or use the brush to manually cover it more precisely.
What is the difference between Rectangle and Brush?
Rectangle is useful for quickly covering regular areas such as text blocks or faces. Brush gives you more control when blurring irregular shapes or smaller details.
Which image formats can I download?
You can export the finished image as JPEG, PNG or WebP. If the source image contains transparency, JPEG fills transparent areas with white.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No image-processing upload is required. Blur and pixelate effects are applied locally in your browser, so your image does not need to be sent to an image-processing server.
