Blur image background instantly

Blur the background of your photo with AI. Upload your image and describe the blur effect you want: "Add soft bokeh blur to background," "Apply gaussian blur, keep subject sharp," or "Blur out the background slightly." Make your subject stand out. The blur background app identifies your subject and applies the blur based on your description. Works for portraits, headshots, product shots, and any image where you want the background softened.

How to blur the background of a photo:

Step 1

Upload your image

Upload the photo you want to edit. Works with portraits, headshots, product images, or any picture where you want to blur the background.

Step 2

Describe the blur effect

Type a prompt like "blur the background softly" for a subtle effect or "add bokeh blur to background" for that professional camera-like depth. You can also prompt the AI to replace the background or upload a background image.

Step 3

Download or continue editing

Download your image with the blurred background. Type more prompts to refine your image and explore our presets for lighting and poses.

Portrait blur for headshots and professional photos

Create a blurred headshot background for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, and professional portfolios. Upload your portrait, prompt for a soft background blur, and get that polished look where you stand out from the backdrop. The AI keeps your face and features sharp while softening everything behind you.

Replace backgrounds instead of just blurring

Need more enhancement than just background blur? Our image editor also works as a background changer. Swap backgrounds entirely by typing a prompt or uploading an image. Describe a new setting: modern office, outdoor park, plain white studio. Or upload a photo with natural depth of field already built in. No need to limit yourself to the original background.

Blur background for YouTube thumbnails and video content

Create thumbnails where your face needs to stand out. Blur the background of your portrait, then apply more edits like adding text and replacing objects. Need blur in video footage to keep the focus on your subject? Use our blur video tool to apply blur effects. Create your thumbnail and video content in one place.
