About this tool

What is a Blur Image tool?

A Blur Image tool applies a softening effect across the picture. Blur can protect private information, create a calm background, or make text and overlays stand out better.

How image blur is applied

The browser draws the image on a canvas and applies a blur filter based on the strength you choose. The blurred version is exported as a new image file while the original stays untouched.
