Why Use This Tool?
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the background blur work?
Our AI detects the main subject in your photo and creates a mask. The background is then blurred while the subject remains sharp, creating a professional portrait mode effect.
What photos work best?
Photos with a clear main subject (people, products, animals) and good contrast between subject and background. The subject should be clearly separated from the background.
Why is processing slower?
Background blur uses AI to analyze the image and detect subjects, which requires more processing power. This ensures high-quality results with accurate subject detection.
How does the AI detect the subject?
Our AI model automatically identifies the main subject (people, objects) and creates a precise mask to keep them sharp while blurring the background.
Can I adjust the blur strength?
Yes, use the blur intensity slider to control the effect from a subtle depth-of-field to a strong bokeh-style blur.
