How to use Blur Image
- 1
Upload an image from your device.
- 2
Choose the blur type: full-image blur or selective area blur.
- 3
For selective blur, draw a rectangle over the area to redact (face, text, plate).
- 4

Why use this tool?
Adjustable intensity
A blur strength slider lets you choose from a subtle soft-focus effect to a heavy pixelation for strong redaction.
Private local processing
The image is processed entirely in your browser — no personal or sensitive content is sent to any server.
Frequently asked questions
Can I blur just a face or a specific part of the image?
Yes. Use the selective blur mode to draw a rectangle around any part of the image you want to redact. You can apply multiple blur regions on the same image.
Is the blur effect reversible?
No — once an image is blurred and downloaded, the original detail in the blurred area cannot be recovered. Keep a copy of the original if you need it later.
What image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF are supported. The blurred image is downloaded as a PNG to preserve quality.
