Notes

Limitations to know

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

4 answers
Can I blur only a face or background?

No. The current tool applies the chosen blur strength to the entire image and does not detect faces or backgrounds.

Can I control the blur strength?

Yes. Use the slider to choose a blur radius from 0 to 30 pixels before applying it.

Is blur safe for hiding confidential information?

Not necessarily. Blur can obscure detail visually, but determined recovery or interpretation may still be possible. Use proper redaction for sensitive data.

Can I blur multiple images at once?

No. Blur Image currently handles one JPG, PNG, or WebP image at a time.
