Adjust the Blur Effect
For each image, you'll see a control panel. Find the Blur Intensity slider.
- Drag the slider to the right to increase the amount of blur.
- The image preview will update in real-time, showing you the result.
- Set the slider back to 0 to remove the blur and see the original image.
Tips for Great Blur Effects
Blurring is a powerful technique. Here’s how to use it effectively:
- Create Depth (Bokeh): Blur the background of a portrait to make your subject stand out. This mimics the "bokeh" effect from professional camera lenses.
- Add a Soft Focus: Apply a very subtle blur (e.g., 1-2px) to the entire image for a dreamy, soft-focus look, great for romantic or atmospheric shots.
- Protect Privacy: Use a strong blur to obscure faces, license plates, or confidential text in documents and screenshots before sharing them.
- Improve Text Readability: When using an image as a background for text on a website or graphic, applying a slight blur can make the text easier to read.
Download Your Final Image
Once you are happy with the result, you have two ways to download:
- Individual Download
-
Use the Output settings to choose your format and quality, then click the
green Download Image button for that specific image.
- JPEG: Best for photos. Use the quality number (1-100) to balance file size and quality. 90 is high quality.
- PNG: Lossless quality, which is great for graphics, but often results in larger file sizes for photos.
- WEBP: A modern format with excellent quality and smaller file sizes.
- Batch Download
- If you've blurred multiple images, scroll to the bottom and click the Download All Processed Images button. This will download all your edited images together in a single ZIP file.
Understanding the Statistics
The stats panel at the top gives you a quick overview of your session:
- Total Uploaded / Processed
- Shows how many images you've uploaded versus how many you've actually processed by downloading.
- Original Size / Processed Size
- Compares the total file size of your original images to the total size of the final blurred images. The processed size may change based on format or quality settings.
