Blur & Focus

Gaussian, tilt-shift, motion, and more

A free online blur photo editor to soften photo backgrounds, add portrait bokeh, create motion effects, or hide private details. Blur an image online with 7 modes right in your browser — no signup, no watermark.

  1. Upload your photo — Open zebra.tg/blur and add the image you want to edit. It loads straight in your browser, so there's nothing to install.
  2. Pick a blur mode — Choose from 7 modes: soft, gaussian, tilt-shift (miniature), motion (directional), zoom (radial), spin (rotational), or pixel (mosaic). Each gives a different look, from smooth background blur to privacy-friendly pixelation.
  3. Set the focus point — Tap the spot you want to keep sharp to place the blur center. For motion blur, you can also adjust the angle to match the direction of movement.
  4. Adjust the intensity — Use the 4 intensity presets to dial the effect from a subtle softening up to a strong, dramatic blur.
  5. Download your image — Save the finished photo to your device. There's no watermark added to the result.

What blur effects can I create?

You get 7 modes: soft and gaussian for smooth background blur, tilt-shift for a miniature look, motion for directional movement, zoom for a radial burst, spin for rotational blur, and pixel for mosaic-style pixelation.

How do I blur just the background and keep my subject sharp?

Tap the spot you want to stay in focus to set the blur center, then pick a mode like soft or gaussian and choose an intensity preset. This is great for portrait bokeh and background blur.

Can I use it to hide private information?

Yes. The pixel (mosaic) mode is well suited for privacy blur, letting you obscure faces, license plates, or text before sharing a photo.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, it runs in your browser, and you set the focus point with a simple tap, which works on both phones and desktop.

Can I control the direction of motion blur?

Yes. Motion blur has an adjustable angle, so you can line the streaks up with the actual direction of movement in your photo.

How do I blur a picture online for free?

Just open the page, upload your photo, pick a blur mode and intensity, then download. It's a free online blur editor that runs in your browser — nothing to install and no account needed.
