FAQ & troubleshooting
What is the difference between blur types?
Gaussian blur creates a smooth, natural effect. Motion blur adds directional movement. Pixelation blocks areas into squares for privacy.
Can I blur only part of the image?
Currently, blur applies to the entire image. For selective blurring, use dedicated photo editing software.
What intensity should I use?
Start low (5-10) for subtle effects, medium (20-30) for noticeable blur, high (40+) for strong effects. Higher values create larger blurred areas.
Will blurring reduce image quality?
Blur is applied as a filter and saved as lossless PNG, so quality is maintained for the blur effect.
Can I undo and try different blur types?
Yes! Start over to reload your original image and try different blur settings.
Is my image data secure?
Absolutely. All blur processing happens entirely in your browser. Your image never leaves your device. After downloading your blurred image, temporary data is automatically deleted from our servers after one hour of inactivity.
