About Background Blur

The Background Blur tool allows you to soften or obscure the backdrop of any photo directly in your browser. Whether you want to create a professional depth-of-field effect for portraits or minimize distractions behind a subject, this tool gives you precise control over blur intensity without expensive editing software.

Because processing runs entirely on your device, your images remain private and are never uploaded to an external server. It is free to use, requires no account registration, and works seamlessly on desktop and mobile browsers.
