Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gaussian blur?
Gaussian blur is a filter that smooths an image by averaging pixel values with their neighbors. It creates a soft, out-of-focus effect that's useful for artistic purposes, privacy redaction, or creating depth-of-field effects.
Is it safe to blur images online?
Yes. All processing happens directly in your browser using client-side processing. Your images are never uploaded to a server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What can I use blur for?
Common uses include: redacting sensitive information (faces, license plates, text), creating artistic background effects, simulating depth of field, and softening harsh details in photos.
Can I control the blur intensity?
Yes. Our tool provides a blur strength slider from 1-100, giving you precise control over the amount of blur applied to your image.
