About Blur Background
A sharp subject against a blurry backdrop gives photos that flattering, professional depth — but most phone cameras capture everything in focus, leaving busy backgrounds that pull attention away from your subject. Faking that soft blur by hand means careful masking that's easy to get wrong.
Blur Background separates your subject from the scene and softly blurs everything behind it while keeping the subject crisp. It works straight in your browser with no download, no account, and no watermark on the result. Your image is only used to create the blurred version and isn't kept, so personal photos and portraits stay private.
Common uses
- Add portrait-style depth to a flat phone photo

FAQ
Does the subject stay in focus?
Yes. The tool detects the subject and keeps it sharp while applying blur only to the background behind it.
Can I control how strong the blur is?
The effect aims for a natural, soft depth-of-field look. How smooth the boundary appears depends on how cleanly the subject separates from the background.
Will my photo be saved anywhere?
No. The image is processed only to produce the blurred result and is not stored afterward.
Can I use Blur Background on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
