Blur Image

Blurs a whole photo, only the areas you outline, or everything except them.

What to blur

  • The whole photo. The image is blurred entirely, for example for a website background or a splash screen.
  • The background behind a person. A neural network finds people on its own and blurs only the area around them. No outlining needed. It does not see objects or animals: for those, use the "everything except outlined" mode.
  • Faces. A neural network finds faces on its own and blurs them. Detected faces are outlined with yellow ovals, and a missed face can be outlined by hand.
  • Only what you outline. Faces, license plates, addresses. Outline them on the photo with an oval or a rectangle: press and drag.
  • Everything except what you outline. The background is blurred while the person or object stays sharp, with a smooth transition between them.

There can be several outlined areas, and each photo has its own.

Blur or pixelation

Blur is soft, like an out-of-focus lens. Pixelation replaces the image with large single-color squares: this is how faces and text are usually hidden. The strength is calculated from the photo size, so the effect looks the same on a small and a large photo.
