About this tool
Image Blur Tool applies a soft blur across your whole image, with a radius slider from subtle softening to heavy obscuring. It is useful for anonymizing faces or license plates (by blurring a cropped region first), creating dreamy backgrounds, or reducing visual noise.
The effect renders live as you drag the slider, and the download is produced at full resolution. Everything runs locally — your image never leaves the browser.
How to use
- Upload an image.
- Drag the blur radius slider until the effect looks right.
- Compare before and after in the preview.
- Download the blurred image.
