Blur Image

Blur Image is a free browser tool for blurring photos. It does not need a download, an account, or a registration, and there is no watermark on the result. You get eight blur styles to choose from, including Gaussian blur, motion blur, radial blur, and pixelation. There is a brush for selective smudging so you can blur only the areas you choose, and a one-click background blur that keeps the subject sharp. The whole process runs locally in your browser, so the image is never uploaded to a server. When you are done you can export as JPEG, PNG, or WebP.

Blur is a visual effect, not true redaction. The original data may still be recoverable from the file, so if you are handling sensitive information use a proper redaction method instead of relying on a blur. The free tool could also change over time, so confirm the current terms before you build a habit on it. Processing runs in the browser, so very large images can be slow on older devices. Placing the blur cleanly takes a little practice, especially around edges, so use the undo option and check the result closely before you share the image.
