Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo selective blur after applying it?

Yes, you can use the erase tool to remove selective blur or the clear all button to start over. The reset button will remove all blur effects.

What's the difference between Gaussian and Box blur?

Gaussian blur creates a more natural, smooth effect while Box blur is faster but produces a more uniform, sometimes artificial-looking blur.

Can blurring reduce image quality?

Blurring itself doesn't reduce quality, but excessive blur can make images appear soft. Our tool maintains original image resolution.

Is selective blur reversible after downloading?

Once downloaded, the blur is permanently applied to the image. We recommend saving the original separately if you might need it later.

Do you keep my images after blurring?

No. All image processing happens directly in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy.
