Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best blur level for portrait photos?

Can I use this for LinkedIn profile photos?

Yes! Our tool is perfect for LinkedIn profile photos. Use Light to Medium blur to create professional headshots with clean, blurred backgrounds that make you stand out.

How do I blur the background of a portrait?

Upload your portrait photo, select a blur level (we recommend Medium for portraits), and click "Blur Background". Our AI will automatically detect the person and blur only the background while keeping the subject sharp.

What blur level should I use?

For portraits, start with Medium blur. For busy scenes or stronger effects, try Strong or Max blur. Light blur provides a subtle effect for minimal background distraction.
