Frequently asked questions
Can I blur just part of the image?
This tool blurs the whole image. For selective blurring, crop first or use a dedicated editor.
Is the blur reversible?
Not on the downloaded file — keep your original if you may need it later.
Are images uploaded?
No, blurring is done entirely in your browser.
