Blur Image

Soften a photo, hide distracting detail, or fake a bit of motion — the Blur Image tool applies a Gaussian or motion blur to your image, with sliders for strength and, for motion blur, direction.

How it works

Upload an image, then choose a blur type and adjust the sliders:

• Blur Type — Gaussian gives an even, all-directions soft blur, the classic "out of focus" look. Motion smears the image along a single direction, mimicking a camera pan or a fast-moving subject.
• Blur Strength (%) — how strong the blur is, from a faint softening to a heavy wash.
• Blur Direction (deg) — only shown for Motion blur — the angle the streak runs along, from -180° to 180°.

The result renders instantly as you adjust the sliders. You can download the result as an SVG file, or copy its source markup directly.

Tips

• For a soft-focus or background-blur look, use Gaussian at 10-30% — higher values start to look abstract rather than "out of focus."
• For Motion blur, try direction 0° or 90° for a clean horizontal/vertical streak, matching how camera pans usually look.
• The downloaded SVG stays crisp at any size since it's a vector wrapper around your original image — resizing it doesn't lose quality the way a rasterized export would.
