Blur

Blur Image

Works with browser-decodable JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG files. Animated GIF exports as the first frame.

How to use it

Three simple steps.

  1. Choose one or more image files from your device.
  2. Adjust the options for quality, dimensions, format, or placement.
  3. Process the files, review the output, then download each image or all images.

Use full-image blur for backgrounds or center-region blur/pixelation for the common case where the private detail is near the middle.

Your images are decoded and exported with browser Canvas APIs. The files are not uploaded to PixelForge.

Use case notes

When this tool is the right choice

Use blur or pixelation when an image contains a face, address, license plate, order number, or other detail that should not be shared.

A full-image blur is useful for backgrounds. A region blur works better when only the center or corner contains sensitive information.

After export, zoom in and confirm that the hidden detail cannot be easily read before posting the file.

Output quality checklist

  • Open the downloaded file and compare it with the original.
  • Check faces, logos, labels, and small text at the size users will actually see.
  • Confirm the file format, dimensions, and file size match the destination requirement.

Common mistake to avoid

Do not overwrite the only copy of an important image. Browser tools are fast, but the safest workflow is to preserve originals and publish only the processed copy.
