How to use Blur Images
- Load one or more images.
- Pick a blur type - Gaussian and Motion suit softening, Pixelate and Zoom read as deliberate censoring, Radial and Tilt-shift keep the centre sharp.
- Raise Blur Strength until the detail you want hidden is gone - face and plate work usually needs 8-15, background softening 3-6.
- Watch the large preview rather than the thumbnails: it re-renders as you drag, so what you see is what gets written.
- Choose the output format, then Apply Blur & Download All.
What Blur Images actually does to your file
The blur covers the whole frame - there is no brush or mask, so blur the background elsewhere or overlay what you need to keep crisp. Strength is clamped to 10% of the shortest side, which means the slider stops doing anything past 36 on a 640 x 360 picture but still moves the needle on a 1600 x 1200 one, where the default-quality pass cut edge contrast from 0.23 to 0.02 and shrank the file from 90 kB to 35 kB. Blurred data is not recoverable, and a low radius over fine text still leaves it readable - raise the radius until the glyphs merge rather than trusting the preview. Output keeps the source container for JPEG, PNG and WebP; a GIF, BMP, SVG or TIFF is written back as a still PNG and the tool lists the files it had to convert, so an animated GIF keeps one frame. Several images arrive as edittools_blurred_images.zip, and Clear all keeps your type, strength and quality settings for the next batch.
Blur Images FAQ
What does Blur Images do?
Apply a blur effect to a supported image. Adjust the available intensity control, review the preview, and download the result.
Which files work with Blur Images?
This category commonly supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. Use the accepted file types shown in the uploader, because support varies by browser and by the engine behind each tool.
Can a blurred area be unblurred?
Weak blurs can often be reconstructed well enough to read. For anything sensitive, apply a strong blur or paint the region with a solid colour, then check the downloaded copy.
Will my original file be changed?
No. The work is done on a copy in this tab by the canvas and the codecs built into your browser, and the result arrives as a separate download, so your original is still there if you need it.
How is my file processed?
It is not uploaded. The processing is done locally by the canvas and the codecs built into your browser, so the practical ceiling is your device's memory and the limit shown beside the uploader - no queue, no account, no copy on a server.
Is the Blur Images free?
Yes. The Blur Images is free with no trial limit, subscription, or watermark on downloads. You can use it for personal and commercial projects without creating an account.
