Blur Image

Soften and smooth any image with a high-quality Gaussian blur, applied entirely in your browser. Useful for design backgrounds, lifestyle photo retouching, and quick privacy redactions.

How it works

The tool uses the browser's native filter: blur(Npx) rendering pipeline on a 2D canvas. The result is a fast, GPU-accelerated Gaussian blur that closely matches Photoshop's. Adjust the radius slider to control the blur strength; the preview updates in real-time before you commit the export.

Use cases

  • Soften background images for hero sections
  • Create dreamy lifestyle photo edits
  • Pre-blur images for blurhash-style placeholders
  • Quick privacy redaction of faces or text (combine with cropping)
  • Generate atmospheric depth-of-field effects
  • Background art for slides and posters

Tips

A radius of 4–8 px gives a subtle softening; 15–25 px produces a strong frosted-glass look; 40+ px completely abstracts the image into colorful blobs ideal for backgrounds.

All processing happens locally in your browser — your originals never leave your device. Output is a high-quality PNG.
