Precisely Blur or Mask Areas of Your Image
Selectively blur parts of your image to draw attention or conceal sensitive details. You can also mask areas to keep them sharp while blurring the rest.
Intensity: 0
Understanding Selective Blur and Masking
Selective blurring allows you to focus attention or conceal specific parts of your image. Masking, on the other hand, keeps your selected area sharp while blurring the rest of the image.
Blur Selected Area
Draw a rectangle on the image and apply a blur effect only to the pixels within that selection. Useful for softening backgrounds behind a sharp subject or obscuring details.
Mask Selected Area (Keep Sharp)
Draw a rectangle on the image, and the blur effect will be applied to everything *outside* of your selection, keeping the area within the rectangle sharp and in focus.
Blur Types and Intensity
Choose from various blur types and control the intensity to achieve the desired effect on your selected (or unselected) area.
