Is the Image Blur free to use?

Yes. The Image Blur is free and works without creating an account.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The Image Blur runs entirely inside your web browser using built-in browser technology, so your files never leave your device.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 50 MB are supported. Very large images (over 64 megapixels) are rejected to keep your browser responsive.

Which file formats are supported?

Input: JPG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, BMP. Output: JPG, PNG, WEBP. File types are verified from the file contents, not just the extension.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. It works in modern mobile browsers on Android and iOS as well as on desktop.

Blur an Image

What the Image Blur does

Apply a smooth blur to an entire image, for example to create soft backgrounds for text or to make a photo less distracting behind other content.

Options

Blur radius from 1 to 60 pixels.

Good to know

The blur is applied to the whole image; to hide a specific area such as a face, the Image Pixelator on a cropped copy is more suitable.
