AI-Powered Automatic Background Blur

PhotoCat Blur Background AI detects the objects in your image automatically and separates them from the background precisely. That way, the blur will only be applied to the backdrop of the image. PhotoCat also supports manual brushing if you would like to alter the blur area.

Blur Background with Adjustable Intensity

You may easily adjust the intensity of the blur effect to fit your artistic vision. Whether you want a dramatic portrait-style look or a gentle backdrop fade, the intensity of the blur is under your control. The smart rendering ensures results look realistic, comparable to photos taken by a professional DSLR camera.

Versatile Blur Effects Available

PhotoCat Background Blur offers 5 blur effects to fit any aesthetic or purpose. You can add a motion blur to capture the excitement of sports shots, a dreamy bokeh effect to create a romantic vibe, or a soft Gaussian blur to smooth out the backdrop. Each blur effect gives your image a different look and feel.

“It was quick and easy to blur the background of my headshots. I take photos from home and didn’t have a suitable backdrop. This blur effect saved me a lot of time and made my headshots look professional for my LinkedIn.”

“Used the motion blur on some client images and it made them pop! Really captured the vibe my client wanted. Bonus: totally free and no downloads needed! Super convenient!”

“Some pics from my recent shoot looked awesome, but the background was kinda grainy. Used PhotoCat’s Gaussian blur and it smoothed everything out perfectly. The foreground and background blend super naturally now. Love it!”
