Workflow & Usage

  1. Add images Drag & drop, paste, or click to upload JPEG/PNG/WebP files. Previews appear instantly with correct orientation.

  2. Set a global blur level Use the main Blur slider to create a baseline effect (0–20px). All images update in real-time.

  3. Edit per image (optional) Click Edit on any image to fine-tune its blur level. The modal preview helps you choose the exact softness you want.

  4. Select what to export Toggle Include on any card, or remove items you don’t need.

  5. Download

    • Single file: Use Download on any card.
    • Batch: Use Download all as ZIP to export everything in one archive.

All processing is local, fast, and private.


Use Cases

  • Privacy blurring Obscure faces, license plates, addresses, or sensitive details.

  • Design & UI backgrounds Create soft backgrounds for hero sections, buttons, and UI elements.

  • Social media graphics Apply subtle softness to create cleaner, more polished posts.

  • Photography workflows Generate blurred backdrop versions for overlays, product shots, and text placements.

  • Brand kits & marketing assets Produce consistent aesthetic variants for ads and landing pages.


Tips for Best Results

  • Start global, refine locally. Set one global blur level, then adjust only where needed.

  • Use blur for depth. Softened backgrounds make text overlays easier to read.

  • Lower values look more natural. Strong blur (15–20px) is useful for hiding details; light blur (2–6px) is ideal for design.

  • Pair with cropping or compression. After blurring, use the Image Cropper for layout or the Image Compressor for file size optimization.

  • Transparent images blur cleanly. PNG/WebP with alpha channels are fully supported and remain transparent.


How It Works

  • Canvas-based filtering. Images are decoded with createImageBitmap and rendered to Canvas using the standard CSS blur filter.

    • Blur strength is measured in pixels (px).
    • Per-image offsets let you override the baseline.
  • EXIF-aware loading. Photos load in the correct orientation automatically.

  • Pixel rendering at original resolution. Exports match the source format and dimensions exactly.

  • Batch packaging. ZIP export is handled locally using JSZip — no network calls.

  • Privacy by design. Nothing is uploaded. Everything stays in your browser from start to finish.
