How It Works
Upload Your Photo
Drag an image onto the upload area or tap to browse. Works with PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, and most formats.
Drag the Blur Slider
Move right for more blur, left for less. Use presets for quick adjustments or +5px/-5px buttons for fine control.
Download Your Result
Hit Download to save as PNG. The filename includes your blur value (e.g., photo-blur15px.png).
Quick Tips
Start Low
Begin with 5-10px blur and increase gradually. It's easy to over-blur - you can always add more.
Check the Compare Panel
The before/after thumbnails help you gauge how much detail you're losing. Easy to lose perspective while adjusting.
For Privacy, Go Higher
If hiding sensitive info, use 40px+ blur. Text can sometimes be recovered from light blur. Better safe than sorry.
