About this tool

Gaussian blur softens the image naturally. A small radius gives a subtle effect; a large one turns the photo into a color backdrop.

To hide sensitive data such as license plates or faces, pixelation is safer than a light blur.

Frequently asked questions

Can I blur just one part?

For now the whole image is blurred. For an area, crop that part first.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser and the image never leaves your device.
