About Blur Image
Choose a soft blur or a blocky pixelation and set the strength. The effect is applied to the whole image, which suits backgrounds for text, teaser previews and placeholders.
To hide a face or number plate in part of a photo, crop that part out first or use an editor that can select an area; this tool works on the entire picture.
Blur or pixelate?
| Mode | Looks like | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Blur | Soft, out of focus | Backgrounds behind text, dreamy previews |
| Pixelate | Large coloured blocks | Teasers, retro looks, hiding detail |
Strength
Start at 50 and adjust. For hiding detail such as text, use a high strength.

Questions
Can I blur only part of the image?
Not at the moment. The effect covers the whole picture.
Is pixelation safe for hiding information?
Strong pixelation hides detail well. Light blur on text can sometimes be reversed, so use a high strength for anything sensitive.
Does it change the size?
No. The image keeps its dimensions and format.
