How to use Blur Image online

Use these steps to blur faces, screenshots, license plates, names, or backgrounds while checking the output before you share the image.

  1. 1

    Add your file

    Upload a photo or screenshot, then wait for the original preview to appear before choosing whether to blur the whole image or only specific parts.

  2. 2

    Choose blur mode

    Choose Full, Select Area, Auto Face, or Click to Blur, then set intensity and draw boxes or spots when the mode needs manual selection.

  3. 3

    Export the result

    Check whether names, faces, plates, addresses, or background details are still readable, then download the edited image as PNG or JPG for sharing safely.

Whole-image blur

Apply blur across the full photo when you need a softer background, reduced detail, or a quick visual effect before posting.

Selected area blur

Draw rectangular regions over names, addresses, license plates, account numbers, or UI details that should be less readable in the final image.

Click spot blur

Add circular blur spots by clicking directly on the preview, which is useful for small faces, profile photos, or repeated sensitive details.

Face detection mode

Optional face detection can locate faces after model files load, then you can review the boxes before relying on the blurred result.

Intensity preview

The preview updates with blur intensity changes, so you can balance privacy, readability, and image quality before downloading.

PNG and JPG export

Save the edited image as PNG for crisp screenshots or JPG for smaller photo sharing after you confirm the hidden areas.

Blur Image privacy and processing

Blur Image explains how browser canvas editing, optional face model loading, temporary selections, and exported files behave before you share a privacy-edited image.

Processing Browser

Blur Image processes the uploaded image in the browser canvas; optional face detection loads model files before locating faces, while manual area and click blur stay in the current tab.

Storage None

Blurred previews and selections are temporary browser state; download the PNG or JPG before clearing selections, changing files, or refreshing the page.

Blur Image account access

Blur Image does not need an account; keep the tab open while you draw areas, add spot blurs, detect faces, and export.

Before You Use Blur Image

Check these blur details before editing screenshots, faces, plates, documents, or social photos where privacy or readability matters.

Privacy

Blur helps reduce visible detail, but it is not the same as permanent redaction for highly sensitive documents.

For passwords, full account numbers, medical data, or legal evidence, cover the area completely instead of relying only on blur.

Input Quality

Use a clear source image so you can see whether the blur covers every face, plate, name, or UI element.

Small text may remain guessable after light blur, so increase intensity or add another blur area when needed.

Output

Zoom in on the exported image before sharing, especially for screenshots where small text can still be readable.

Keep the original image separate until you confirm the PNG or JPG export hides the intended details.

Limits

Blur Image accepts common image files and edits them in the browser; very large photos may slow face detection, canvas preview, and PNG or JPG export.

Auto face detection may miss side profiles, covered faces, tiny faces, or images where the model files cannot load.

Questions about Blur Image

What does Blur Image do?

Blur Image adds blur to a whole image, selected rectangle, click spot, or detected face, then exports a new PNG or JPG. It is useful for screenshots, social photos, product mockups, and images with details you do not want clearly visible.

Can I blur only part of an image?

Yes. Use Select Area to draw rectangles or Click to Blur for circular spots. Both options let you focus on names, license plates, profile faces, or small screenshot details without softening the full image.

Can Blur Image automatically find faces?

The tool includes an Auto Face mode that loads face detection models and draws boxes around detected faces. Review the boxes before export because small, angled, covered, or crowded faces can be missed.

Is blur safe for private information?

Blur is useful for casual privacy, but it is not secure redaction. For passwords, account numbers, medical details, or legal records, cover the information completely before sharing the image.

Why is my blur preview slow?

Large photos, high blur intensity, many selected areas, and face detection can take more browser memory and processing time. Try a smaller image or use fewer selected regions if preview updates lag.
