How to Blur a Photo Online with BlurMe (Step-by-Step)
Here’s how to blur an image online using BlurMe's Blur Photo tool in under 30 seconds.
Step 1 – Upload Your Photo
Go to BlurMe Studio and upload your image.
JPG, PNG, and high-resolution photos are supported.
Step 2 – Choose Your Blur Mode
BlurMe gives you multiple ways to blur photos:
| Blur Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| AI Face Blur | Blurring people automatically |
| AI Fullscreen Blur | Making the background of a picture blurry |
| Custom Blur Brush | Blurring specific objects |
| Pixelation | Heavy privacy masking |
Step 3 – Blur Faces Automatically
Click AI Face Blur and BlurMe instantly detects all faces.
You can:
- Blur one face
- Blur multiple faces
- Blur faces in the background
This replaces apps like Facetune and manual blurring.
➡ Try our dedicated Blur Face in Photo for one-click face protection.
Step 4 – Blur the Background of a Photo
Choose AI Fullscreen Blur to automatically separate the subject from the background and blur the background of the subject.
This gives you:
- Professional portrait-style blur
- Bokeh & depth effects
- No messy cutouts
➡ Use the Blur Image Background for precise background blur.
Step 5 – Blur Objects or Parts of a Picture
To blur something specific (a tattoo, logo, person, or text):
- Select Custom Blur
- Select the area
- Adjust blur strength
This is how you blur a spot on a photo or blur part of an image.
Step 6 – Download Your Blurred Photo
Export in HD, watermark-free, ready for social media, press, or legal use.

Blurring vs Pixelation: Which Should You Use?
Blurring softens an image.
Pixelation destroys identifiable detail.
Use blur when:
- You want aesthetic background blur
- You want subtle privacy
Use pixelation when:
- Faces must be unrecognizable
- Legal or GDPR compliance is required
➡ Try the Pixelate Image Tool or read how to pixelate an image.
Is Blurring Required Under Privacy Laws?
In many countries, yes.
Faces, license plates, and private information fall under personal data.
