Background Blur

Background Blur keeps your subject perfectly sharp while blurring everything behind it, reproducing the portrait-mode depth effect of a fast lens. It is the quickest way to clean up a busy or distracting background in a headshot, team photo or product shot without having to reshoot.

The model identifies the subject automatically, so there is no manual masking, no magic wand and no lasso work. Load the image, wait a few seconds for the first run to fetch and warm up the model, and the cutout appears. Because processing is local, the first image is the slowest — subsequent images reuse the already-loaded model and finish much faster. Fine hair, fur and semi-transparent edges are handled with soft alpha rather than a hard jagged cut.

Nothing you open here is uploaded. The entire operation runs inside your browser tab using the Canvas API and WebAssembly, which means there is no upload queue, no server-side file-size cap, no watermark and no account. You can even go offline after the page has loaded and the tool will keep working. When you close the tab, every trace of your file disappears from memory — which is exactly what you want when you are handling ID documents, contracts, private photos or unreleased product shots.

Because the work happens on your own hardware, processing is effectively instant for typical photos and still comfortable for 50-megapixel files on a modern laptop or phone. There are no daily limits, no paywalls after five files, and no queue behind other users. Everything is free, unlimited and ad-supported, and the layout reserves fixed space for ads so the page never jumps while you work.
