How to use Blur Image

1. Choose the image and set a blur amount.
2. Preview the result before committing to the final export.
3. Reduce the amount and reprocess the original if the blur looks stronger than intended.
4. Download the blurred PNG copy for use in your design.

Check your result before using it

Inspect the downloaded image at full size, especially high-contrast lettering and faces near the edge of the blurred region. A soft appearance does not prove that identifying information cannot be inferred. For information that must be removed, replace the region with an opaque block and verify the exported pixels. Keep a separate original so you can adjust the visual effect without repeatedly degrading an already processed image.

When to use Blur Image

• Soften a photo background before overlaying a headline in a design
• Create a subtle blurred placeholder while a final image is prepared
• De-emphasize a busy backdrop behind a product shot

Important limitations

• Blur affects the whole image rather than a selected region.
• The output is PNG, so photographic files can become larger than their JPG source.
