Blur Image

🌫️ Blur Image: soften any picture right in your Chrome side panel Blur Image is a small image blur tool that lives in the Chrome side panel. Open a photo, set the strength, and save the result. There is no upload, no account, and no waiting for a server: every pixel is processed on your computer. Use it when you need to hide something before you share a screenshot or a photo: an address, a license plate, a chat message, a name in a document, or a whole picture you simply want to soften. 🚀 How to blur image in four steps 1. Click the icon in the toolbar. The app opens next to the page you are on. 2. Open a file, drop it onto the panel, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V. 3. Pick Whole image or Selected areas and set the blur strength with the slider. 4. Click Save, or copy the result to your clipboard. 🎯 Two ways to blur a picture ▸ Whole image: soften everything with one slider. Handy when you need a soft backdrop for a slide, a wallpaper, or a placeholder, or when you want to soften the photo focus on purpose. ▸ Selected areas: drag to draw a rectangle and blur part of an image. Add as many areas as you like, move them, resize them by the corners, and delete the ones you no longer need. ✍️ Blur image text and private details ➤ Blur image text in screenshots: emails, phone numbers, order numbers, prices. ➤ Hide a name or a face in a group shot before you post it. ➤ Blur image background by selecting the areas around your subject. ➤ Cover a license plate, a street sign, or a house number in a vacation shot. 🔒 Your photos stay on your computer 💠 Nothing you open is sent anywhere. The processing runs in your browser on the canvas built into Chrome. 💠 No account, no sign-in, and no record of what you edit. 💠 It remembers only your last strength and mode, so the next file opens with the same settings. ⚙️ What makes this image blurer easy to use 1️⃣ Live preview: the blurred image updates as you move the slider. 2️⃣ Hold to compare: hold Space to see the original without blur. 3️⃣ Keeps your format: JPG, PNG, and WebP files are saved in the same format they came in, which keeps the photo editable in any other app. 4️⃣ Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+V to paste, Ctrl+S to save, Delete to remove an area, Esc to start over. 5️⃣ Copy result to clipboard and paste it straight into a chat, an email, or a document. 💡 A small tool vs. a full photo editor Photo editing apps, photo editing software, photography enhancement suites, and most picture altering apps can do this too, but they take a while to open and often ask you to upload a file or sign in. A photo editor online adds one more step: your picture goes to someone else's server first. This extension does one thing and does it locally, in a panel that stays open while you work: image blur online that never actually goes online. Edit photos without leaving the page you are reading. ❓ Frequently asked questions 📍 How do I blur an image online without uploading it? 💡 Open the side panel, drop your picture in, and save. Nothing leaves your device, so blur image online here means in your browser, not on a website, and it works the same on a slow connection. 📍 Can I blur only part of a photo? 💡 Yes. Switch to Selected areas, drag a rectangle over the spot you want to hide, and adjust the slider. You can add several areas to one picture. 📍 How strong is the effect? 💡 The slider goes from 0 to 100. At 100, the blur radius equals 5 percent of the shorter side of the picture. 📍 Does the blurred image lose quality? 💡 The effect is applied to the full-size original, not to the preview, and the file is saved in its original format. Blurred images keep their width and height. 📍 Will it blur images on web pages? 💡 It works with files: open, drop, or paste a picture. To hide part of a web page, take a screenshot and paste it with Ctrl+V. 📍 Is it safe for sensitive documents? 💡 Yes. The extension has no network access, so the file never leaves your computer. 📍 I typed blurr photo, blurr pic, or edition photo into the search bar. Did I land in the right place? 💡 Yes. Whatever you call it, this extension can blur picture details you select or soften the whole thing, and it does that without uploading anything. 🧩 Install Blur Image, pin it to your toolbar, and the next time you need to blur picture details before you share a screenshot, it is waiting in the side panel.
