Add a sense of movement: blur along any direction, from a gentle drift to a streak of speed. Horizontal, vertical, diagonal or any angle in between.

How it works

  1. Your browser decodes the photo at full resolution.
  2. Each pixel is averaged with its neighbours along a straight line at the angle you choose.
  3. Near the edges only pixels inside the image are used, so edges don’t darken. Then the result is saved.

Supported formats

Limits
Files up to 80 MB. The saved image can be up to 16.7 megapixels on iPhone and iPad, 36 on Android and 64 on computers, and 16,384 pixels on its longest side.
  • The whole image is blurred. To keep a subject sharp, blur a copy and combine them in an editor, or try Tilt-Shift for a sharp band.
  • Metadata such as camera details and location is not copied to the new file.

Your image stays on your device

This tool runs entirely in your browser. The image is never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to store, see or delete.

To check, open your browser’s developer tools, switch to the Network tab and use the tool: you will not see your image being sent anywhere.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read and processed by your own browser. Nothing is sent to our servers, so there is no copy of your image anywhere but your own device.

Which direction should I choose?

The direction things would be moving: horizontal for a passing car or runner, vertical for falling rain or a jump.
