Blur Image

Selectively blur parts of your image with professional precision.

Free · private · in-browser

Professional blur for your photos, online and instant

Paint exactly where you want softness, pixelation, or motion—no software to install and nothing uploaded to our servers for editing.

Use it when you need discreet sharing: obscure faces and license plates, tone down ID details, add an artistic depth-of-field feel, or hide sensitive text before you post or send an image.

How to use blur tool

Load your photo

Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP file or tap a sample thumbnail. Your image opens in the main canvas right away—nothing is sent to our servers.

Paint what to blur

Adjust brush size, then click or drag on the canvas. The circular brush shows exactly where blur will apply. Build up coverage with multiple strokes.

Pick a blur style & export

Choose Gaussian, pixelate, median, or motion blur and tune options. Paint on the canvas—blur commits when you release the pointer. Download when you are done. Use undo/redo to step back.

Supported file formats

Load these types in the workspace. When you save, the result downloads as a PNG.

  • PNG
  • JPEG / JPG
  • WebP

Key features

Fast, precise selective blur with multiple engines—handled locally in your browser until you save.

  • Brush-based masking

    Paint only the areas that should blur; the rest of your photo stays sharp and untouched.

  • Live preview while you paint

    See softness, pixel blocks, or motion streaks update as you move the brush, then commit on release.

  • Four blur methods

    Switch between Gaussian, pixelate, median, and motion blur with intensity and method-specific controls.

  • Undo & redo history

    Step backward or forward through committed strokes so you can refine without starting over.

  • Private, in-browser processing

    Edits run on your device—we do not upload your image to our servers for the blur workflow.

  • PNG save

    Export the current canvas as a PNG when you are happy with the result, ready to share or archive.

Common use cases

  • Privacy-first sharing

    Blur people, house numbers, or background clutter so you can publish photos without oversharing.

  • Documents, plates & cards

    Targeted masks help obscure ID fields, registration plates, or card numbers while keeping the rest of the frame readable.

  • Creative & social posts

    Gaussian softness or motion streaks can steer attention to your subject or give feeds a polished, editorial look.

  • Screenshots & workflows

    Quickly redact emails, amounts, or UI details in captures you attach to tickets, chats, or documentation.

Pro tips

  • Start with a larger brush for broad areas, then shrink it for edges and details.
  • Motion blur at 0° reads as horizontal streaks; try 90° for vertical motion.
  • Changing blur method or intensity updates how new strokes look; committed blur stays on the image until you undo.
  • Use undo if a stroke or method change does not look right—each paint-and-release step is its own history entry.
