About the Blur Image
Create soft backgrounds for text overlays, low-detail placeholder images or a dreamy effect. The blur uses three passes of a box filter, a well-known approximation of a Gaussian blur that produces smooth results and works identically in every browser — including Safari, which lacks canvas blur filters.
Processing runs in a background worker, so even large images don't freeze the page.
How to use it
- Set the blur radius.
- Choose an output format.
- Drop your images and download the blurred results.
Good to know
- This tool blurs the entire image. It is not a reliable way to hide faces or text partially; use an editor that blurs a selected area and verify the result.
- Very large radii on big images can take a few seconds.
