Common Use Cases for Image Blurring
Privacy Protection
Blur faces in photos before sharing on social media to protect the privacy of individuals who haven't consented to having their image shared. This is especially important for photos of children, crowds, or in public spaces.
Sensitive Information
Blur out sensitive information in screenshots or documents, such as account numbers, addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information before sharing them online or with others.
Aesthetic Effects
Create dreamy, soft-focus effects for artistic photography. A subtle blur can add a romantic or ethereal quality to portraits, landscapes, or still life images, making them more visually appealing.
License Plate Protection
Blur license plates in photos of vehicles to prevent potential misuse of this information. This is a common practice in street photography, real estate listings, and social media posts featuring cars.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the blurring permanent?
Yes, once you download the blurred image, the blur effect is permanently applied. The original image remains unchanged on your device. We recommend keeping your original images if you might need them unblurred in the future.
Can I blur just a specific part of an image?
Our current tool applies blur to the entire image. For selective blurring of specific areas, you might need to use a more advanced image editing software like Photoshop or GIMP.
What image formats are supported?
Our blur tool supports most common image formats including JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. The output image will be in the same format as the input image.
Is my image data secure?
Yes, all processing happens locally in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What's the maximum file size I can upload?
Since all processing happens in your browser, there's no strict limit. However, very large images (over 20MB) might cause your browser to slow down. For optimal performance, we recommend files under 10MB.
