Blur an image or part of a photo
Blur the whole picture, or drag a box over the part you want to hide: a face, a number plate, a name or an address. Free, no sign-up, and your image never leaves your device.
Drag a box over the part to blur. Drag a corner to resize it, or inside it to move it.
How to use it
- Choose a photo.
- Drag a box over the part to blur, or leave it to blur everything.
- Set the strength, then download.
Hiding private details
Before you share a screenshot or a photo of a document, blur the parts nobody needs to see: account numbers, addresses, faces of other people and car number plates. Use a strong blur for text, because a light blur can sometimes still be read.
Softening a background
Blur the whole photo for a soft background image behind text, or blur everything except the subject by blurring the background a section at a time.
FAQ
- How do I blur only one part of a photo?
- Drag a box on the preview over that part. Only the area inside the box is blurred. Drag again to change it, or press "Blur whole image".
- Can blurred text be unblurred?
- A light blur on large text can sometimes be guessed. For card numbers and IDs, use the strongest setting, or cover the area completely in an editor.
- Can I blur the background of a passport photo?
- No. Passport and visa authorities reject edited photos. Take the photo against a plain wall instead.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The editing happens in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device and nothing is stored.
