FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image data safe when using this tool?

Yes, entirely. Image Studio operates 100% client-side. Your photos are processed directly inside your computer's browser, meaning they are never uploaded to our servers, stored, or viewed by anyone else.

What types of blur can I apply to my photos?

You can choose from Gaussian blur (ideal for smooth transitions), Box blur (optimized for rapid processing), and Motion or Radial blurs (perfect for artistic speed and zoom effects).

How do I blur only the background of an image?

You can use our geometric selection tools to frame your main subject, adjust your blur settings, and then toggle the "Invert Selection" option. This keeps your subject crisp while beautifully blurring the background.

Are there any file size limits or usage caps?

No. Because the tool runs locally on your own hardware rather than our servers, we do not impose any file size limits, daily usage caps, or hidden premium paywalls.

How to Blur Images with Precision in Your Browser

3Invert selection for bokeh effects

Check the 'Invert Selection' option to reverse the mask logic. Instead of blurring the inside of your chosen shape, the background outside of the shape will be blurred. This is perfect for simulating portrait mode or creating a bokeh effect that draws attention to a sharp central subject.
