Blur Image Apps and Alternatives

It is often necessary to obfuscate certain areas or an image for various reasons, such as hiding someone’s face in a photo or preventing private information from being viewed by others.

Thankfully, there are numerous applications out there that can help you out with this task. They range from powerful image editors used by professionals to simple utilities that are only designed to help you perform a set of basic editing operations.

They are many types of blur effects that can be used, each relying on different methods to obfuscate part of an image. Usually, you can fine-tune the strength of the filter until whatever you want to hide is no longer visible.

Most applications that support this feature also allow you to choose which area of the image should be affected. If only a small area needs to be blurred, you can select this region and leave the rest of the picture unchanged.
