How do I blur the background of a photo?

Add the photo, choose Blur and pick a strength. The subject is found in your browser and kept sharp while the background is blurred. Then download.

Yes. It runs on your own device, so there's no limit, no watermark and no sign-up.

Does it work like portrait mode on a phone?

It gives a similar look: a sharp subject and a soft background. It blurs the whole background evenly rather than by distance.

Can I blur the background of a product photo?

Yes. It works on anything with a clear main subject: products, people, pets or objects.

Why is it slower the first time?

The first time, your browser downloads the AI model (about 45–90 MB depending on your device) and keeps it. After that a photo takes a second or two on most computers.

Why people use it

Free with no limit

No account, no credits and no daily cap.

Private by design

The AI runs in your browser and the photo never leaves your device.

Three strengths

Light for a hint of depth, medium for a classic portrait look, strong to make the subject pop.

Cleaner edges when you need them

If hair or fur looks rough, send the same photo to the HD Background Remover for 1 credit.

Want a different background?

Change Background replaces the scene completely: an office, a beach or a studio, with matching light.

When a blurred background helps

A busy background pulls attention away from the subject: cars behind a portrait, a messy room behind a pet, a cluttered desk behind a product. Blurring it keeps the real place but makes the subject the clear focus, the same reason photographers use a wide aperture.

Tips

Pick the strength for the photo. Light keeps the place recognizable; strong works when the background is very busy.
Check hair and fur at full size. If the edge looks patchy, run the same photo through the HD Background Remover.
