Clear Praise for Our Blur Tool
Hear from the photographers, professionals, and parents who rely on our tool.
Jasmine W.
iPhone Photographer
I love taking portraits, but my phone’s portrait mode isn’t always great. This tool lets me apply a beautiful, realistic background blur to any photo. It makes my pictures look like they were taken on a DSLR.
The Chen Family
Parents
We love sharing photos of our kids with family, but we’re not comfortable posting their faces publicly. The auto face blur tool is a lifesaver. It finds and blurs all the kids’ faces in one click. It’s so easy.
Mark R.
Journalist
I often have to blur the faces of sources or bystanders in my photos to protect their identity. This AI tool is the fastest, most accurate way to do it. The license plate detection is also incredibly useful.

I use the manual blur brush to blur out my address on shipping labels when I post photos of my packages. It’s a simple, quick tool for protecting my personal information.
David L.
Web Designer
I use blurred background images all the time in my web designs. This tool lets me take any photo and create a perfect, subtle background texture. The bokeh simulation is a nice artistic touch.
Chloe S.
Student
I had to submit a photo of a document for a class project but needed to blur out my student ID number. This was so much faster than trying to figure it out in complicated software.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about blurring with AI.
How is this different from the blur tool in other editors?
Most editors require you to manually select the area to blur. Our AI uses automatic subject detection to instantly and accurately separate the foreground from the background, or to find all faces in an image.
What is ‘bokeh’?
Bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Our AI can simulate the soft, pleasing look of bokeh from high-end camera lenses.
Can I un-blur an image?
This tool is for applying blur only. For sharpening or un-blurring a photo that is already out of focus, we recommend our ‘Unblur Image’ tool.
Does the face blur work on profiles or covered faces?
The AI is most accurate with front-facing photos, but it is very effective at detecting faces even at an angle or partially covered. For any missed spots, the manual brush tool can be used.
Can I blur something other than a background or a face?
Yes! Our manual brush mode gives you the power to paint a blur effect over any object or area in your photo that you wish to obscure.
Does the blur look natural?
Yes, our AI is designed to apply a smooth, gradual blur that mimics the depth-of-field effect of a real camera, resulting in a very natural and professional look.
Can I blur only a small part of the background?
The automatic background blur will blur the entire background. To blur only a specific part, you can use the manual brush tool for precise application.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, our standard background and face blurring tools are free. For advanced features like video blurring and bokeh simulation, we offer a Pro version.
Do you store my photos after they are blurred?
No. We respect your privacy. Your photos are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers.
Can the AI detect and blur other sensitive information?
Yes, our AI is trained to recognize and blur common sensitive items like car license plates and blocks of text on documents, in addition to faces.
