When to use Blur Image
Make a soft background
Blur a photo to use it behind text on a banner or slide without it competing for attention.
Obscure sensitive details
Soften a face, name or number so it's no longer legible.
Depth effect
Add a dreamy, out-of-focus quality for a stylistic touch.
Blur vs. pixelate for hiding things
A light blur can sometimes be reversed or read through, so for genuinely hiding sensitive information a strong blur or, better, the Pixelate tool is safer. For purely aesthetic backgrounds, any blur strength works.
Frequently asked questions
Can I control how strong the blur is?
Yes — adjust the intensity from a subtle softening to a heavy blur.
Is blurring reliable for censoring?
A strong blur helps, but for truly hiding text or faces, pixelation is harder to reverse. Use plenty of strength either way.
Are my images uploaded?
No — the blur is applied in your browser.
