JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, HEIC, or AVIF. Your photos stay on this device.
When to use this
Use this when a photo looks harsher than you want, a background is busy, or you need the whole picture softened before you share it. The pixels stay the same size. Only the detail gets softer.
The slider runs a blur. Zero leaves the picture as it is, apart from saving it in the format you pick. A high setting can hide faces, text, and fine detail, so stop when the picture looks as soft as you need.
This softens the whole photo. It does not paint a blur onto one spot. If you only need a plate or a name hidden, crop that part out first, or cover it in an editor, then come back.
JPG cannot store a clear background. If the source has empty pixels, a JPG fills them with white when you save. Keep PNG when you still need those pixels clear. WebP can keep them too.
After the change, compress if the file is still heavy, or sharpen if you went too far and want the edges back.
How to do it
- Drop one image or a batch. Files stay on this device.
- Move the slider up to blur. Zero leaves the picture as it is.
- When you download, pick JPG, PNG, or WebP, and set the quality if you are not saving PNG.
- Apply, then download each file or a zip of the batch.
Tips
- A small move softens the picture without hiding the subject. A high setting can make faces and text unreadable.
- Zero keeps the look and only changes the file format.
- JPG fills clear pixels with white. Use PNG if you still need transparency.
- Quality around 0.92 is a good balance for JPG and WebP.
