About blur background

Blur Background is part of the PixelDesk basic editing collection. A lightweight on-device ML model finds the subject and blurs everything behind it. Everyday corrections — cropping, rotating, watermarking, metadata and background clean-up — without installing an editor.

Because everything is processed locally, blur background works instantly even on large files, keeps full quality until you choose to compress, and never stores a copy of your picture. There is no queue, no sign-up and no daily limit.

Frequently asked questions

What can I do after blur background?

Chain it with other steps — resize, change DPI, blur, replace the background or compress to an exact KB target — in the PixelDesk Step Editor.
