Blur Background

Blur the background of a photo in one click. Upload a picture, choose a light, medium or strong blur, and the AI keeps your subject sharp while the background melts into soft, camera-style bokeh - the portrait-mode look, for any photo.

Portrait mode for any photo

Add the effect after the shot.
  • Subject stays sharp
    People, pets and objects are kept crisp and recognizable while only what is behind them goes out of focus.
  • Natural lens blur
    The blur looks like a wide-aperture lens, with soft bokeh and smooth edges, rather than a flat filter over the picture.

Three blur strengths

Pick how much to hide.
  • Light, Medium, Strong
    From a gentle softening that keeps the place recognizable to a creamy blur where the background becomes pure color.
  • Tell it what to keep
    Optionally name the subject - the woman in the yellow jacket, the blue mug - when a photo has more than one candidate.

No masking, no app

One upload, one click.
  • Works in the browser
    Use it on iPhone, Android or a computer without installing an editing app or learning layers and brushes.
  • Standard or HD
    Standard is fast and low-cost, ideal for social posts and profile pictures; HD gives a 2K file with more detail for listings, prints and larger screens.
