About motion blur
Motion Blur is part of the PixelDesk blur, pixelate & effects collection. Add directional streaking for a sense of speed. Hide faces or details, soften a busy background, or restyle a picture with borders, grain and colour effects.
Because everything is processed locally, motion blur 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
- Is motion blur free to use?
- Yes. Motion Blur is completely free, with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many files you process.
- Are my photos uploaded to a server?
- No. Every operation runs inside your browser using its own canvas engine, so your images never leave your device.
- Which devices and browsers work?
- Any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iOS. After the first visit most tools keep working offline.
- What can I do after motion blur?
- Chain it with other steps — resize, change DPI, blur, replace the background or compress to an exact KB target — in the PixelDesk Step Editor.
Need more than motion blur?
Chain this with resizing, DPI, blur, background and KB compression in the Step Editor.
