Blur Tool

Apply gaussian blur to images with precise control over blur radius and intensity. Gaussian blur produces smooth, natural-looking softening by weighting pixel contributions according to a bell-curve distribution—creating the optical effect of being out of focus.

The blur radius controls how far the softening effect extends from each pixel. Small radii produce subtle softening; large radii create strong abstract blur where only general shapes and colors remain distinguishable. Real-time preview shows the effect as you adjust, with comparison view against the original.

Web designers creating background images that support text overlays without visual competition blur photographs appropriately. Privacy-conscious users obscuring sensitive information (license plates, faces, addresses) apply selective blur before sharing. Portrait photographers simulating depth-of-field effects soften backgrounds to emphasize subjects. Product photographers softening harsh background details focus attention on products. Social media creators producing dreamy, aesthetic imagery achieve stylized soft-focus looks. Anyone needing to reduce image detail—whether for aesthetic effect, privacy protection, or visual hierarchy—will find gaussian blur produces professional, natural-looking results.
