Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone unblur or reverse the blurred information?
When a strong blur radius is applied and exported as a raster image, the original high-frequency pixel details are permanently averaged, making reconstruction virtually impossible.
Is my confidential photo sent to an external server for processing?
No. All blur algorithms execute locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas processing. Your private images are never transmitted across the network.
Can I use this tool to create artistic background blur for portraits?
Yes. By applying a mild blur radius, you can soften distracting background elements to simulate DSLR depth-of-field effects for product and portrait photos.
Does applying blur change the dimensions of my photo?
No. The output image retains your exact original width, height, and aspect ratio, altering only the pixel clarity in the blurred zones.
Is there any fee or watermark attached to the download?
No. OmegaTools Image Blur is 100% free, imposes no daily quotas, and never adds branding watermarks to your downloaded images.
