The Comprehensive Guide to Image Blurring
The Adiminium Blur Tool is a privacy-focused, browser-based utility that lets you soften your images instantly. From hiding sensitive personal data in screenshots to creating aesthetic "Bokeh" backgrounds for product photos, this tool puts the power of Gaussian Blur at your fingertips.
Why Blur?
Blurring is one of the most useful functional edits you can make to an image:
- Privacy Protection: Hiding faces, license plates, credit card numbers, or names in screenshots before sharing them online.
- Depth of Field Simulation: Making a background blurry to make the foreground subject "pop" (similar to Portrait Mode on phones).
- UI/UX Design: Using blurred background images behind text to make the text more readable.
Understanding "Gaussian Blur"
We use the Gaussian Blur algorithm, which is the industry standard for smooth, natural-looking softness. It works by calculating a mathematical bell curve (Gaussian function) for every pixel, blending it with its neighbors. The "Radius" slider controls the width of this curve. A radius of 2px is a subtle softening; a radius of 50px renders the image unrecognizable.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Upload: Drop your image onto the canvas.
- Adjust Radius:
- Low (1-5px): Softens skin, noise, or grain.
- Medium (10-20px): Obscures text and details. Good for privacy.
- High (50px+): Creates abstract color gradients.
- Download: Save your processed image securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this reversible?
Mathematically, heavy blurring destroys information. While "Unblur AI" tools exist, they are guessing, not truly reversing. Once you save and close this file, the original details are effectively gone forever.
Can I blur only part of the image?
Currently, this tool applies a uniform blur to the entire image. For selective blurring, you would typically use this tool to create a blurred copy, and then layer it behind the sharp copy in a photo editor.
