Global Blur Image applies a smooth, overall blur to your entire photo in one click. Use the Eraser and Blur brushes — each with adjustable shape, strength, and hardness — to selectively bring back detail or add extra softening where you want. With control over global intensity, iteration levels, and overlay opacity, you can make precise, non‑destructive edits — perfect for creating depth‑of‑field effects and tailoring the look of your image.

While Selective Blur lets you manually paint blur onto specific areas, Global Blur applies the same blur effect across the entire image with a single click. After applying the global blur, you can use the eraser tool to selectively reveal sharp areas, making it ideal for creating bokeh effects or quickly highlighting subjects against blurred backgrounds.

Yes, you have complete control through two key settings: • Blur Intensity: Controls how strong the blur effect is (from subtle softening to heavily obscured); • Blur Iterations: Increases the number of blur passes for enhanced effects without quality loss;

Yes, and we recommend a simple workflow: 1. Complete your editing in Global Blur and export your image. 2. Re‑upload the processed image to any other tool—such as Selective Blur Image Tool, Pixelate Blur Image for block‑based redaction, or Motion Blur for directional effects. This sequential approach ensures each tool can perform optimally while maintaining full privacy and local processing throughout your entire editing workflow.

Global Blur Image protects your privacy in two key ways. First, all processing happens 100% in your browser, meaning your image data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to external servers. Second, EXIF metadata (such as GPS location and camera details) is removed by default when you export, preventing hidden data from compromising your privacy. This local-first approach ensures complete confidentiality while you edit.
