Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gaussian blur?

Gaussian blur uses a weighted average of nearby pixels to create a smooth, natural-looking blur effect.

What is blur radius?

Radius determines how many surrounding pixels affect each pixel. Higher values create stronger blur.

When should I blur images?

Blur works well for backgrounds, soft-focus effects, and reducing noise. Do not rely on it to hide faces or text you want kept private: blur can be reversed. To redact something, cover it with a solid fill instead.
