Blur the background of a photo

AI finds the subject, the background melts into a smooth blur — the portrait-mode look, made on your own device.

PNG, JPG or WebP · works best with one clear subject · processed on your device, never uploaded

First use downloads the AI model once (4.6 MB — or 46 MB in HD quality); after that it is cached and everything runs offline on your device.

Advanced settings (optional)
Cut-out options
AI quality

Standard is fast and light (4.6 MB). Switch to HD for tricky photos — cleaner edges, better fine detail.

New background
2424px blur

Portrait-mode look: your original photo stays behind the subject, blurred.

Edge hardness
50

Low keeps soft, semi-transparent edges (hair, shadows); high cuts a crisp outline. Results re-render live.

Edge smoothing
1px

A small blur on the mask hides jagged outlines. 1–2 px suits most images.

Format

PNG keeps perfect quality and transparency.

How to use the Blur Background (Portrait Mode)

  1. Drop a photo — the AI finds the subject automatically.
  2. Adjust the blur strength; the preview re-renders live.
  3. Download the portrait-mode result at full resolution.

Easy to use

Drop files, pick options, download. Whole folders at once, no signup, no daily limit.

Best quality

The same engines the professionals use — SVGO, resvg, MozJPEG, libwebp, libavif — compiled to run in your browser.

Private & secure

Files are processed on your device and never uploaded. Close the tab and nothing remains anywhere.

The portrait-mode look, after the fact

Phone cameras fake a wide-open lens by detecting the subject and blurring everything else — and there is no reason that has to happen at capture time. The same class of neural network runs here, in your browser: the subject is masked, the background is blurred at whatever strength you choose, and the two are composited back together with soft, natural edges.

A blurred background does two jobs: it hides clutter (the messy desk behind your product shot) and it points every eye at the subject. For a fully removed background instead, the Background Remover is the same engine with transparency out.

Frequently asked questions

How does it keep the subject sharp?

A segmentation neural network (the same kind phone cameras use) runs in your browser and separates subject from background. The background is then blurred and the sharp subject is composited back on top, with adjustable edge softness so hair and outlines stay natural.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No — the AI model downloads to your browser once (4.6 MB standard, 46 MB HD) and every photo is processed on your device. You can go offline after the page loads.

What blur strength should I use?

Around 20–30 px reads as classic portrait mode; 40+ turns the background fully abstract. The preview updates live in the big preview window, so drag the slider until it looks right.

Your files never leave your device

Most online converters upload your file to a server. InfyTool ships the actual encoders to your browser as WebAssembly instead, so processing happens inside your tab — faster for batches, and nothing to delete afterwards.

  • No upload, ever. Turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and every tool keeps working.
  • No limits. No file-size cap, no queue, no watermark, no account.
  • Runs on your CPU. Batches use several cores in parallel; nothing is throttled.
