How do I blur the background of a photo?

Upload the photo, choose a blur strength, and generate. The AI detects your subject, estimates the depth of the scene, and applies blur that increases naturally with distance — then you download the full-resolution result.

How is this different from portrait mode on my phone?

Portrait mode only works when you shoot with it enabled. This works on any existing photo — including old pictures — and gives you control over the blur strength afterward, with cleaner edges than most on-device portrait modes.

Will the edges of my subject look cut out?

No. The subject separation is edge-aware, so hair strands, fur, and fine details stay sharp and natural against the blurred background instead of showing a halo.

Can I control how strong the blur is?

Yes — from a subtle background softening to full creamy bokeh. A moderate setting usually looks most natural; maximum blur gives the dramatic f/1.4 look.

Does it work on products and food, not just people?

Yes. Anything with a clear subject benefits — product shots, plated dishes, pets, flowers. The AI detects the subject automatically.

Can I blur the background and change it too?

Yes. The same editor also offers full background replacement and removal if blur alone is not enough — see our background changer and background remover.

Lens-Real Depth of Field

Not a smear filter — depth-aware optical blur.

True Depth-Aware Blur

The AI understands what is near and far, so blur increases naturally with distance — like a real lens, not a uniform smear.

Clean Subject Edges

Hair, fur, and fine outlines stay crisp against the softened background — the detail cheap blur tools always ruin.

Real Bokeh Character

Highlights bloom into soft bokeh circles the way they do through a wide-aperture lens, giving photos that shot-on-a-real-camera look.

Adjustable Strength

Dial the blur from a subtle f/4 look to full creamy f/1.4 portrait mode.

Any Subject

People, pets, products, and food all work — anything with a subject worth separating from its background.
