Category: Image Preparation

Gaussian blur softens details across the image rather than moving or removing them.

Choose the pass count and review the effect at a useful viewing size.

## Inputs and controls

* One image or a batch: JPEG; PNG; WebP. Static images. Up to 4 MiB per file, 12 MiB total and 4 million pixels per image. At most six source images.
* Blur passes. Allowed range: 1 to 10
* Download format: PNG, preserves alpha; JPEG, flattens alpha; WebP, server support needed
* Quality. Allowed range: 1 to 100

## How to use

* Choose a static JPEG, PNG or WebP source. Check the displayed upload limits before processing.

* Set Blur passes, Download format and Quality. Review the selected units and options before preparing the output.

* Select Prepare image. Inspect the resulting preview, dimensions and file size, then download the output you need.


## Why use this tool

The bounded pass control makes the strength of the visual effect explicit.


## Before relying on the result

Compare the finished picture with its source. Do not rely on a blur effect to guarantee that sensitive details cannot be inferred.
