About Blur image
- What does Blur image do?
- Apply a Gaussian blur across the image, or select a region to obscure a face, a licence plate, an address or a name before you share a screenshot.
- Who is it for?
- Creators and sellers preparing product photos, job applicants sizing a profile picture, anyone posting to a platform with strict image requirements, and people who want to strip location data before sharing a photo.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Blur image is free with no account, no watermark on your output, no daily cap and no trial period. Because it runs on your own device it costs us nothing to run, which is why there is no catch.
- Is it safe to use with confidential files?
- Yes, and not because we promise to behave. Blur image never sends your file anywhere — the work happens in your browser. There is no upload, so there is no copy of your document in our systems at any point.
- What file formats are supported?
- Input: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP. Output: JPG, PNG, WEBP.
- Is a blur safe for hiding sensitive information?
- A strong blur over a region is baked into the output pixels and cannot be reversed. A light blur over text can sometimes be partially recovered, so use a large radius for anything that matters.
