Two ways to blur
Whole image applies a smooth Gaussian blur to everything — handy for soft backgrounds behind text, dreamy effects or placeholder images. The strength is measured in pixels of your original photo, so what you see in the preview is what you get at full size.
Selected areas lets you drag boxes over the parts you want to hide: faces of bystanders, car number plates, addresses, bank or card details on a screenshot. Choose blur, pixelate or a solid black box, add as many areas as you need, and download at full resolution. Everything stays on your device.
