Common Uses for Blurring Images

Portrait Backgrounds

Create a professional "bokeh" effect by blurring the background to make your subject stand out.

Protect Privacy

Obscure faces, license plates, addresses, or other sensitive information in your photos before sharing.

Artistic Effects

Add a soft, dreamy, or motion-like quality to your images for creative purposes.

Website Banners

Use a subtly blurred image as a background for text on a website, making the text easier to read.

Tips for Effective Blurring

  • A Little Goes a Long Way: For background blurring, a small radius of 2-5 pixels is often enough to create separation without looking unnatural.
  • Protecting Information: To make text or faces completely unreadable, use a higher blur radius of 10 pixels or more.
  • Performance: Applying a very high blur radius to a large image can be intensive for your browser. Allow a moment for the preview to update.
