Blur Photo Background, Free nothing stored

Open the saved picture, choose the blur amount and run the tool. It builds a subject selection from the image itself, so you do not need portrait-mode depth data from the camera.

Move Blur and process the photo again. Begin at 55, then compare a gentler or stronger version. Changing this control adjusts softness, not which person or object is selected.

No. It applies an even blur behind the selected foreground and gives bright spots a soft bloom. It does not calculate a depth map, refocus the scene or simulate a specific lens.

The selection can miss fine strands or blend them with nearby colors. A large contrast between sharp hair and a very soft backdrop makes that more visible. Try less blur; automatic edge refinement cannot guarantee a clean result for every outline.

There is no manual masking control in this tool. It finds the foreground automatically. If part of the subject is missing or an unwanted region stays sharp, use a different picture or an editor that lets you paint the selection.

Yes, try an image with a distinct outline. Check fur, handles and transparent parts carefully. A clear foreground gives the model more useful separation than an object that blends into a crowded shelf or similarly colored wall.

It depends on the automatic selection. People detected as background will soften, but the tool does not know which people belong to your family. Inspect every face in a group; you cannot choose individuals to keep with a separate control.

Use a current browser that supports the required WebAssembly features. The effect runs on the device’s CPU, so a dedicated GPU is unnecessary. If a large portrait exhausts memory during background blurring, retry with a reduced source.

The image is read and edited locally in your browser. Network requests load the page and model, but the photo is not sent to a server for subject detection or blurring.

The initial run can include downloading the model before detection begins. The browser attempts to cache it for reuse. Connection speed affects loading, while your device determines processing time; there is no fixed completion time.

It retains the loaded photo dimensions, which may already have been reduced to fit browser limits. Selected foreground detail comes from that loaded image, while transition pixels blend with the softened backdrop. Export also re-encodes the picture, so unchanged quality is not guaranteed.

Background blurring accepts JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC pictures. The engine chooses an output image format based on the input type, so some sources are converted. The saved result is opaque and does not contain separate editable layers.

It stops when the detected foreground is too small to keep. Try a photo where the person or object is more prominent and separated from the surroundings. A scene without a clear foreground may be better suited to a whole-picture effect.

This tool adds blur; it cannot recover background detail already softened in the file you give it. To make a lighter version of this edit, return to the original source and run it with a lower setting. Keep that source alongside the result.

No. The result contains visible background pixels throughout the image. Use Background Remover if you need a subject cutout to place over another design.

No. It takes a still picture and returns an edited image. It does not read a live camera feed or follow the subject across video frames.
