About blur image
Blur Image is part of the PixelDesk blur, pixelate & effects collection. Apply a smooth gaussian blur to the whole picture. Hide faces or details, soften a busy background, or restyle a picture with borders, grain and colour effects.
Because everything is processed locally, blur image 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.
