The AI detects the person or object in the photo and blurs only what is behind it — like a camera with a wide aperture. Adjust the blur amount to hide a messy background or draw attention to the subject. Everything runs on your device.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Blur Image?
Blur Image blurs everything. This tool uses AI to keep the subject sharp and blur only the background.
Does it work on products and pets?
Yes. Any clear subject in the foreground works — people, products, pets or cars.
Is it free?
Yes, without daily limits: the AI runs in your browser.
Can I replace the background instead?
Yes — use Change Background to put the subject on a color or another photo.
