Frequently asked questions
How do I blur the background of a photo?
Upload the photo, and the AI blurs everything except the main subject. Use the slider to make the blur stronger or softer, then download the result.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark and no limit; the download keeps the full resolution of your photo.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser and the photo is processed on your device.
Can I replace the background instead of blurring it?
Yes. Switch to “Colour” or “Picture” to put a plain colour, a ready-made background or your own picture behind the subject.
Which photos work best?
Photos with one clear subject – a person, an animal or an object – in front of a background. Group photos and busy scenes may need a second try.
